More information

Although Peer Gynt is usually classified as a tea-hybrid rose, it is a transitional form between a tea-hybrid and a floribunda. When open, the blooms display stamens in a floribunda-like manner and are carried in clusters of up to 10; solitary blooms are rare. The fully opened flowers are lemon-yellow with golden stamens. Petals are short and broad, slightly wavy. At times—especially toward the end of the flowering period—the petal edges turn pink. The blooms hold well when cut. Among tea-hybrid roses, examples with an erect yet compact, broad bush and thick, strong shoots are few; Peer Gynt shows this habit. The foliage is large, glossy, dark green. Among yellow tea-hybrid roses, it is among the most winter-hardy and flowers until the first frost.

In the late 1960s it received many awards. In strong sun, the petal edges turn pink. Flower clusters are dense, and flowering is abundant. The petal edges are wavy. Performs better in cool climates.
