Rose - Adorable

Common Name:
Rose 'Adorable'

Description:
Rose 'Adorable' is an enchanting modern floribunda rose developed by Kordes in Germany, celebrated across Australia for its striking mauve-pink, fully double blooms and a richly complex fragrance that blends notes of apple, lychee, creamy geranium, and warm spice. It has received high acclaim for both its perfume and its strong garden performance, including recognition at Australian rose trials. The compact, upright shrub is clothed in glossy dark green foliage and exhibits excellent disease resistance, making it a resilient and low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens. With very few thorns and a neat growth habit, it is ideal for planting in beds, borders, or large containers. Flowering prolifically from spring through to autumn, it provides both a beautiful garden display and long-lasting stems for cutting.
