Talk:Hybrid Tea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The opening paragraph is incorrect. In actuality, hybrid tea roses are known for their lack of fragrance and for being much more prone to disease than other varieties.

The point of breeding or hybridizing two different varieties of plants is to create something with the strengths of both varieties into one. If the newly created plant has all the weaknesses of both parent plants, there really isn't a point in trying to breed something that would die so readily. Most of these hybrids have been bred to be stronger than 'normal' roses.

The little excerpt for "Neptune" looked inconsistent with the layout of the page so I created a separate page for it like the ones for the other hybrids.
