OOPS. If that description is correct, I don't have Elle. What I have is slightly salmon pink but without any yellow, and is definitely NOT a hybrid tea. Must have a label mixed up or something. This is definitely a floribunda type rose. Dang. They didn't label the plants, they sent letters afterwards.

ANOTHER STAR® BEAUTY WINS 2005 AARS AWARD

A beautiful shell pink hybrid tea rose with deep yellow undertones, is Star® Roses latest All-America Rose Selections Winner.

Named for the international fashion magazine, Elle™, ‘Meiberos’ PPAF, is a classic rose breed to be more fragrant and disease resistant than most roses in its class. The long stems carry high centered classic rose blossoms that are strongly perfumed with a spicy and citrus fragrance with a touch of green banana, making it ideal for cutting and bringing indoors to fill a room with its sweet scent.

Hardy in zones 5-9, Elle blooms continuous throughout the seasons and is a vigorous grower with above average tolerance to mildews and black spot than most classic roses. Growing 3-4 feet tall, the soft multicolored cup like flower contrasts nicely with the dark shiny foliage. Elle’s compact growth makes it perfect for small gardens or large containers.

In addition to winning the AARS award, Elle received top honors for fragrance at Bagatelle in 1999 and the Silver medal in Genève in 1999.
Bred by The House of Meilland in the South of France, Elle will be available in fine garden centers and nurseries in spring 2005 along with the complete line of The Conard-Pyle Company’s Star Roses.

To find out more about these and other fine Star® Roses or to find a garden center near you that carries Star Roses and Star Plants, visit www.starrroses.com or www.starplants.com.

How many others here have been testing the new "Elle" rose? I don't
know if you would call it a floribunda or a shrub rose. When it first
bloomed, the initial blossoms didn't seem that promising. After most
of a summer, I'm very impressed with the sheer health of the plant.
Even right next to a rose with a serious amount of black spot, it's as
clean as I've ever seen. The flowers are still a little imperfect,
with odd petals sticking out, but most of the time the mass of blossoms
takes your eye away from any individual imperfections. Right now it's
in a spell between flushes of bloom, but the mass of buds coming looks
like we'll get one more really good show before the end of the season.
