Floribunda Rose
Rosa Fragrant Delight
Spectacular, large sprays of fully double, urn-shaped coppery salmon-pink blooms possessing an unparalleled fragrance emerge from pointed, upright buds between July and September. This is a vigorous, upright hybrid tea bush rose with reddish-green stems that become well-foliated with an abundance of bronzy-green young leaves, turning mid-green and remaining very shiny as they mature. The beautifully-shaped and uniquely-coloured blooms become flushed with rosy-red in full sunlight and deepen in colour during cooler weather, making it a great choice for using as a bedding or show rose. Perfect for a fertile, well-drained border that’s sheltered from the strong, mid-day sun, the nice long stems and long vase-life also make it a good candidate for using as cut flowers. Grows best in alkaline soil

We’d recommend feeding with a balanced liquid fertiliser once a year in spring
