Dmitri Hvorostovsky

Funded by friends and admirers of the late Russian operatic baritone, Dmitri Hvorostovsky, as a living memorial. A pristine white rose was chosen to echo the trademark blooms presented to him after each performance. The Metropolitan Opera has posted some of Dmitri’s most lauded performances in tribute.

A strong, upright growing, long stem, very winter hardy rose, with lush highly disease resistant foliage. Fragrance is a pleasing soft tea rose: delicate but noticeable. It’s well suited to cutting, and is an elegant free-standing shrub or small climber. Easy care. Grows to about five feet depending on pruning. We are working with growers in other parts of the world to bring this rose to Dmitri’s fans and admirers.
