Eleganza® Wedding Bells™ Rose Bush

Eleganza® Wedding Bells™ Hybrid Tea Rose: Romantic blooms. Refined fragrance. Reliable performance.

Rosa ‘KORsteflali’ – Hybrid Tea Rose

What you’ll get: Bare Root (Own Root)

Eleganza® Wedding Bells™ is the perfect “something pink” for the garden — a two-toned Hybrid Tea rose with large, high-centered flowers that make a statement both outdoors and in the vase. Each bloom carries 40–60 petals and opens to about 4 inches wide, showcasing a classic, elegant form.

The fragrance is moderate yet complex, beginning with a sweet old-rose scent and deepening into notes of myrrh and incense. This sophistication, paired with long stems and a vase life of 5–7 days, makes Wedding Bells™ a fantastic cut rose for floral arrangements and gifts.

Growing 4–6 feet tall on an upright, bushy plant with glossy dark green foliage, Eleganza® Wedding Bells™ combines beauty with strength. It is a repeat bloomer from spring through frost and offers excellent disease resistance to black spot and mildew, even in wetter climates. Recognized with an American Garden Rose Selections (AGRS) Award, this variety lives up to its name as a rose worth celebrating.

TL;DR?
Eleganza® Wedding Bells™ is a romantic, award-winning Hybrid Tea rose with two-toned pink blooms, complex fragrance, and exceptional cut-flower quality. A perfect choice for gardens, containers, and wedding-worthy bouquets.
