Rose - Bruce's Dream

Common Name:
Rose 'Bruce’s Dream'

Description:
Rose 'Bruce’s Dream' is a distinguished Australian-bred modern shrub rose, developed by renowned breeder Bruce Brundrett and regarded as one of his finest achievements. This variety features elegant, high-centred blooms that open in rich yellow-apricot tones and gradually fade to a soft creamy hue, offering a gentle and romantic colour shift as the flowers mature. The foliage is lush, dark green, and highly disease resistant, making it an excellent performer in Melbourne’s temperate climate. Flowering occurs in repeat flushes from spring through to autumn, with each bloom carrying a mild to moderate fragrance. Its strong form, superb health, and exceptional flowering habit earned it a Bronze Medal at the 2018 National Rose Trial Garden of Australia and recognition in New Zealand for best hybrid tea. Ideal for home gardeners who appreciate refined colour, reliable performance, and Australian breeding.
