Rose - Ashram

Common Name:
Ashram Rose

Description:
Rosa 'Ashram' is a captivating hybrid tea rose known for its richly coloured blooms in shades of copper, apricot, and burnt orange that deepen as the flowers mature. Each bloom is large, elegant, and high-centred, carried on long, sturdy stems that make it ideal for cutting and floral arrangements. The petals have a velvety texture, and the flowers are lightly fragrant, adding a subtle perfume to the garden. 'Ashram' performs beautifully in Melbourne’s climate, thriving in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. It benefits from regular pruning and feeding, which promotes vigorous growth and abundant flowering from late spring through to autumn. With excellent disease resistance and a bushy upright habit, it’s an outstanding choice for rose beds, mixed borders, or feature planting in formal or cottage-style gardens.
