Caramel Kiss is a hybrid tea bred in Langley, BC by Brad Jalbert. Select Roses introduced it to mark the nursery's 35th anniversary. Pointed buds in cream, caramel and apricot open into very full, heavily ruffled, quartered blooms that look more like an old-fashioned English rose than a classic hybrid tea. The colour settles into soft apricot and pale caramel, sometimes touched with pink. The fragrance is strong. Every source mentions anise, and others add pear, lychee or a hint of citrus. The flowers come on long stems with few thorns, so they're good for cutting. The plant grows upright to about 120–150 cm and repeats through the season. The foliage is thick and glossy dark green, typical of Jalbert's roses, which are bred to stay clean in a wet coastal climate.

A Canadian-bred hybrid tea with English-style ruffles and a strong anise scent.
