CHUXAY GARDEN Sterling Silver Rose Seed 100 Seeds Hybrid Tea Rose Ornamental Flowering Plant Heirloom Rosa Bush Wonderful Choice for Low-Maintenance Garden Great for Bouquets

The enormous blooms on sterling silver roses differentiate them from other types of hybrid tea roses, as does the muted color – a dusty lavender that more closely resembles a soft sunset than an approaching storm cloud. The unusual color means a sterling rose bush won't dominate other, more vibrant varieties in your rose garden. In fact, it will serve as a complementary companion to ivory and light pink roses, resulting in some of the prettiest, picture-perfect cut flowers you'll ever grow. As a deciduous shrub, the sterling rose bush is no shrinking violet. It can grow up to 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide, making it well-suited as a hedge, screening and mass planting, Oakland Nurseries says. To reach this size, sterling silver roses need to remain evenly moist and soak up at least six hours of full sun a day, preferably with a break for afternoon shade, Green Acres says. And no matter what you've heard about rose bushes as being high maintenance, sterling rose bushes have staying power. They can live, and prosper, for up to 20 years – as long as you remain vigilant (and not at all squeamish) about pruning.
