Rose - Dolly Parton

Common Name:
Dolly Parton Rose

Description:
The Dolly Parton Rose is a bold and glamorous hybrid tea rose named after the iconic American singer, known for her vibrant personality and larger-than-life charm. This rose mirrors those qualities with its stunning, fiery orange-red blooms and intoxicating, spicy fragrance that is among the strongest of any rose variety. Each flower is large and full, with velvety petals that hold their colour well in the sun. The Dolly Parton Rose thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil with regular watering and seasonal feeding to maintain peak performance. In Melbourne’s climate, it blooms reliably from late spring through autumn, offering multiple flushes of brilliant colour. Its upright growth habit and dark green foliage make it an ideal focal point in a rose garden, as a feature plant in mixed borders, or grown in a decorative pot for patios and entrances. A show-stopping performer, this rose is both a conversation starter and a joy to grow.
