Rose - Coral Lion's Rose

Common Name:
Coral Lion's Rose

Description:
Coral Lion's Rose is a captivating hybrid tea rose known for its rich coral-apricot blooms and strong, sweet fragrance. With classically shaped flowers that appear in flushes from spring through to autumn, this rose offers a striking blend of elegance and resilience in the garden. Its blooms open in a high-centred form and gradually unfurl into large, full flowers, making it ideal for both display beds and cutting gardens. The plant has an upright, bushy habit with dark green, glossy foliage that provides a strong backdrop to its vibrant blooms. Coral Lion's Rose performs best in well-drained soil with regular watering and a sunny position. Regular deadheading and seasonal pruning will promote continued flowering and maintain plant health. Particularly suited to Melbourne’s temperate climate, it rewards gardeners with long-lasting colour throughout the warmer months.
