Rosa 'Savoy Hotel' is a light pink hybrid tea rose cultivar, developed by Jack Harkness in 1987 and introduced into Great Britain by Harkness Roses in 1989. The rose was named to celebrate the centenary of the Savoy Hotel, a famous London hotel.
'Savoy Hotel' is a short, large-flowered, upright rose, 2 to 3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) in height, with a 2 to 3 ft (0.61–0.91 m) spread.[1] The rose is a vigorous grower and has a moderate fruity scent. Its flowers are 6 in (150 mm) in diameter, with a large, double high-centered bloom form. Bloom colour is silvery pink with a darker pink reverse. Flowers are borne mostly solitary on long stems.[2] Leaves are medium in size, semi-glossy and dark green. The rose blooms in flushes throughout the growing season.[3]
