Rose - Bonica

Common Name:
Bonica Rose

Description:
The Bonica Rose (Rosa ‘Bonica’) is a hardy and prolific floribunda rose, renowned for its clusters of soft pink, lightly fragrant blooms that appear from spring through late autumn. This robust, disease-resistant rose has a bushy, spreading habit with glossy dark green foliage, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, mass plantings, and even low hedging. Thriving in Melbourne’s climate, 'Bonica' prefers full sun and well-drained soil, requiring regular watering and feeding for continuous flowering. With its low-maintenance nature, this repeat-flowering rose benefits from occasional pruning to encourage fresh growth and maintain its shape.
