Camellia japonica 'Red Red Rose'

Common Name: Camellia ‘Red Red Rose’

Description:
Camellia japonica ‘Red Red Rose’ is a stunning, evergreen shrub known for its deep, velvety red, fully double blooms that resemble classic roses. Flowering in late winter to early spring, this variety provides a spectacular display during the cooler months when many other plants are dormant. Its glossy, dark green foliage remains attractive year-round, making it a perfect choice for hedging, specimen planting, or containers. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, ‘Red Red Rose’ prefers well-drained, acidic soil and a sheltered position with morning sun and afternoon shade. Regular pruning after flowering encourages a compact, bushy habit and promotes healthy growth.
