Floribunda Rose
Rosa Shocking Blue
This is a stunning floribunda bush rose bearing masses of beautiful, fabulously fragrant, deep magenta to mauve blooms from July to September. These are produced above well-foliated, upright, bushy stems that are clothed with finely-toothed, ovate, glossy dark green leaves. Its long, erect stems and clusters of extremely fragrant, well-formed blooms make it a great choice for using as cut flowers. Boasting a strong disease resistance and a healthy, vigorous growth habit, it is best thought of as a pleasant pastel flower rather than a pretend blue one.

Garden Care:
Dependent on the time of year you buy our roses, the compost may break away when removing from the pot because they are field grown and potted in autumn. Prior to planting trim the roots to 25cm and the stems to 15 to 20cm taking care to cut diagonally away from and above an outer facing bud. Mix compost in with the back fill and a potash based fertilizer.
