This beautiful hybrid tea rose was
a sensation when first introduced in 1979 and won the All American
Rose Selection for that year. The unique color combination of mauve
and red was a breakthrough at the time. Paradise also displays
deep green glossy foliage and is very thorny. The blooms
are high centered with 30 petals and are very fragrant.
