More information
Troika has been in cultivation for many years. The cultivar is characterized by unusual colouring: the flowers are pure salmon pink, the petals are darker on the underside, with yellow highlighting at the base and streaks of red-pink around the edges of the outer petals. The blooms exhibit the classic form typical of hybrid tea roses. They are produced singly on long stems and pass through all stages of bloom. The foliage is large, dark green, and shows disease resistance. It re-flowers abundantly and is used in large arrays. In hot climates it reaches up to 2m.
