‘Lady Vera’. Modern, large-flowered Hybrid Tea. Pink blend. Repeat-flowering. The color of this rose is pale pink flushed with deeper pink at the petal edges. It has true exhibition form, very like that of ‘Christian Dior’. ‘Lady Vera’ is a tall grower producing flowers on very long stems that have some perfume. The foliage is matt green and abundant and free of disease.

Flower production is average and there is a fair time between flushes. Zones 5-10. Smith, Australia, 1974. ‘Royal Highness’ x ‘Christian Dior’.
