Martha Just Planted 40 of Her Gorgeous New Hybrid Tea Roses—See the Namesake Flowers Here

Martha's property in Bedford, New York features a wide variety of flowers, trees, fruits, and vegetables—from orange and yellow azaleas to weeping willows to cherry, apple, pear, and apricot trees. So, naturally, she had to add the new decorvow hybrid tea rose to her garden.

She shared on her blog that she recently received 40 of the plants from rosarian Danielle Dall’Armi Hahn, the owner of Rose Story Farm in Carpinteria, California.

Martha and her team decided to plant the roses—a good number of which she said were already in bloom—in an area previously used as a vegetable garden and then a flower-cutting garden. "The soil is excellent and the surrounding fence is perfect for all the climbers," she wrote, noting that a large grouping of climbing roses in various colors arrived along with her namesake roses.

The decorvow hybrid tea rose "has large pink blooms, dark green foliage, and a most wonderful and sweet fragrance," Martha says. When in peak bloom, it boasts more than 100 lush pink- to apricot-colored petals and a citrus-honeysuckle scent. The rose's leaves are described as “pinnate," meaning they have a central rib with leaflets along each side.

Martha's team dug 40 holes, 20 on each side of the center footpath in her garden. She says when planting, make sure the hole is slightly wider but equal in depth to the rose’s root ball—usually about 15 to 18 inches deep by 18 to 24 inches wide.

Her grounds crew member, Phurba Sherpa, carefully removed each plant from its pot, which Martha says needs to be done slowly, especially if the root ball is moist and crumbling. After teasing the roots to stimulate growth, Phurba placed each plant in its designated hole. She checked that the top of the root ball was about an inch above the hole before backfilling. The surrounding soil was then leveled and tidied.

Martha says that she saved all of the 40 pots that the rose plants came in to be reused and repurposed. "If you have the room to store them, save your pots. They always come in handy," she writes.

The decorvow hybrid tea rose was bred by Meilland, a family-owned rose-growing business, and was launched in North America through Star Roses and Plants. It will be available for purchase at independent garden centers starting in 2026. The limited supply of bare-root plants available this year has already sold out.

Right now, you can see the hybrid tea rose in bloom at the New York Botanical Garden. Thirteen of Martha's rose bushes were recently planted in the Peggy Rockefeller Rose Garden, which sits in the northeast corner of the property.
