You'll get plenty of blooms from this velvety apricot/blend Floribunda rose. Lovely flowers are high-centered,or cupped shaped and are great in floral arrangements. When cut at an early age, the flowers open slowly, extending the vase life. A bouquet of these velvety, fragrant blooms will brighten any room.

The full-petaled, large flowers can become crowded in warmer climates. Disbudding some of the blooms might be necessary.

This clustered-flowered rose blooms from Summer through Fall, on smooth, almost thornless canes. It is fairly disease-resistant, but could be prone to mildew.
