The hybrid tea rose was bred by crossing the 'Crêpe de Chine' with the 'Peer Gynt' and is named after Polish composer Frédéric Chopin.

'Chopin' is a strong growing rose (150–200 cm) with showy, large flowers of light cream to pale yellow colour.

Flowers have an average diameter of 5 inches (11 cm) and 17–25 petals.

They grow in small clusters (3–5), have moderate fragrance and appear in flushes throughout the season.

The cultivar is winter hardy (USDA zone 6b – 10b) and generally disease resistant.
