Rose - Candy Stripe

Common Name:
Candy Stripe Rose

Description:
Rosa 'Candy Stripe' is a stunning hybrid tea rose celebrated for its distinctive blooms featuring a delightful mix of soft pink and creamy white, often streaked or splashed in a striped pattern — giving it its playful, confectionary-inspired name. Each flower is large, fully double, and delicately ruffled, offering a mild, sweet fragrance. Blooms are borne singly on long, strong stems, making this variety a standout in both garden beds and vases. Flowering prolifically from late spring through to autumn, 'Candy Stripe' performs well in Melbourne's climate, enjoying full sun and requiring rich, well-drained soil for best results. Regular pruning and feeding will encourage flushes of blooms and help maintain a healthy, upright form. Its unique colouring and elegant flower form make it a favourite among collectors and those seeking a showy garden feature.
