Rosa 'Tiffany'

Rosa 'Tiffany' is a hybrid tea rose cultivar, bred by rose grower, Robert Linquist, and introduced into the United States by the Howard Rose Company in 1954. The plant's stock parents are hybrid tea roses, 'Charlotte Armstrong' and 'Girona'. 'Tiffany' was the recipient of the top American rose awards: the Portland Gold Medal in 1954 and the All-America Rose Selections (AARS) in 1955.
