Roses - large-flowered varieties (Hybrid Tea)

Large flowers, often with a pointed centre, classically beautiful as they unfold to make blooms of perfect beauty. The most famous rose of them all, "Rosa Peace = 'Madame A. Meilland'"^ belongs in this category. These were originally called Hybrid Teas, but the preferred term is now 'Large-Flowered'. These roses are generally chosen by those who value the sheer quality of the individual flower, rather than the overall beauty of the plant.
