Description

Rosa 'Brandy' (AROcad) is an award-winning Hybrid Tea rose prized for its unique, warm apricot-brandy colored blooms, strong petal substance, and long, sturdy stems perfect for cutting. Introduced by Jack E. Christensen in 1981, this classic rose produces large, fully double, high-centered flowers with 35-45 petals in a rich blend of soft apricot, peach, and warm bronze tones . The blooms emit a light, sweet, spicy-tea fragrance and appear in flushes from late spring through fall, thriving in heat but appreciating afternoon shade in hotter climates . With excellent disease resistance, glossy dark green foliage, and a compact, bushy habit, it is an outstanding choice for cut flower gardens, mixed borders, and as a specimen.
