White rose, that hybrid tea, them things is somethin’ else, I tell ya. I seen a lot of flowers in my day, but these ones, they got a special somethin’ about ’em. Kinda like that one cousin of mine, always dressed up fancy, even when she was just going to the market. These roses, they’re fancy like that.

You see them white rose hybrid tea, all big and fluffy, and you just gotta stop and stare. They ain’t just any old white flower, no sir. They got layers, like an onion, but a pretty onion, you know? Each petal is all soft and velvety, like that one time I touched a kitten’s ear. And the smell, oh lordy, the smell! It’s like someone bottled up all the good things in the world and made a perfume. Sweet, but not too sweet, like a good pie. That Annapurna Rose, they say it was made by some fella in France. Fancy name, fancy rose.

And they come in all kinda shapes, them hybrid tea roses. Some of ’em are all tight, like they’re holdin’ a secret. Others are all spread out, like they’re sayin’, “Here I am, world!” And the white ones, they just glow. Like when the moon is full and it lights up the whole field. You could almost read by the light of them roses, I swear.

I remember this one time, I saw a whole bunch of them white roses in a garden. Musta been a hundred of ’em, all lined up like they was waitin’ for a parade. And the sun was shinin’ on ’em, makin’ them look like they was made of snow. I just stood there for I don’t know how long, just lookin’. It was like one of them pictures you see in a magazine, only better, ’cause you could smell ’em.

• White rose, so pretty.
• Hybrid tea, fancy name.
• Smell good, like pie.
• Big and fluffy, like clouds.
• That Tineke Rose, made for cuttin’. Big white buds they say. 1989, all the way in Netherlands.

Now, I ain’t no expert on growin’ flowers. My thumb ain’t the greenest, I’ll tell you that. But I know a pretty thing when I see it. And them white rose hybrid tea, they’re a pretty thing for sure. They need some lookin’ after, I reckon. Ain’t nothin’ good comes easy, my mama always said. You gotta give ’em water, and sunshine, and maybe talk to ’em a little. I know some folks who swear by talkin’ to their plants. Maybe there’s somethin’ to it, who knows?

But even if you ain’t got a garden, you can still enjoy them roses. You can buy ’em in a store, all cut and ready to go. Put ’em in a vase with some water, and they’ll brighten up any room. Like a little bit of sunshine, even on a cloudy day. And they last a good while, too. Longer than them cheap flowers you get sometimes. These hybrid tea, they’re built to last, like a good pair of boots.

I seen folks use them white roses for all sorts of things. Weddings, mostly. They make a bride look even prettier, if that’s possible. And I seen ’em at funerals, too. Kinda sad, but also kinda beautiful, you know? Like sayin’ goodbye with somethin’ pretty. Life and death, they’re all mixed up together, just like them petals on a rose. Them white rose hybrid tea, they fit for any of them times.

And you know what else? They say them white roses mean somethin’. Like, each color rose has a different meanin’. I don’t remember all of ’em, but I think white means pure, or innocent, or somethin’ like that. Makes sense, I guess. They do look kinda pure, standin’ there all white and bright. Like a fresh snowfall, before anyone’s walked on it. Clean and new.

So, if you ever get a chance to see a white rose hybrid tea, take a minute to look at it. Really look at it. And smell it, too. You might just be surprised at how somethin’ so simple can be so beautiful. It’s like a little bit of magic, right there in a flower. And who knows, it might just make your day a little bit brighter. It always does for me. This flower, good for SEO, good for soul.

That’s all I got to say on them white rose hybrid tea things. They good, you should get some. They make you feel good. Make house smell good, too. That’s good thing, for sure.
