Rose 'Oranges and Lemons' Papagena

Treat yourself to something rather special by growing this dazzling bi-coloured rose. An eye-catching Floribunda which produces masses of crazy, striped flowers that certainly pack a visual punch!

This novel variety boasts yellow blooms boldly splashed and striped with bright orange. 'Oranges and Lemons' is a repeat flowering rose, producing clusters of large, slightly fragrant blooms throughout the summer and into the autumn, contrasting beautifully with dark green glossy foliage. Superb as a cut flower and particularly striking in mixed flower borders.

Even when not in flower, this plant still rewards with colour as the new growth emerges in a glossy maroon-red before transforming into a deep green - so if you're looking for some 'wow factor' then this is the rose for you.

As a Floribunda rose bush, 'Oranges and Lemons' has good disease resistance, is hardy, and very easy to grow. Even perfect for those without ample garden space, you can grow this variety in a large pot for the patio or balcony.

The incredible colour is caused by what is known as a 'jumping gene' which creates instability in the colour of each flower, so can be either of two colours - or both! This makes each petal and flower completely unique, giving a lovely contrasting mix as no two blooms will be the same.

Floribunda roses are often repeat flowering, producing multiple flushes of large clustered blooms across a long season and making them ideal in the garden. Floribundas are hardy and robust with more disease resistant than others, making them easier to grow.

Supplied as a bare-root plant, ready to plant out.
