Description:
The Dusky Moon Rose is an Australian-bred floribunda rose introduced in 2018 by Richard and Ruth Walsh. It features cup-shaped, double blooms in a unique dusky mauve hue with a white reverse, exuding a strong, fruity-sweet fragrance. This medium-sized, arching shrub reaches up to 1.5 meters in height and 1 meter in width, adorned with matte, dark green foliage. Renowned for its hardiness and rain tolerance, it performs exceptionally well in cooler or shaded sites, making it ideal for Melbourne gardens. The Dusky Moon Rose blooms in small clusters throughout the growing season, providing a continuous display of colour and scent. Its robust nature and captivating appearance earned it the Australian Bred Rose of the Year Trophy in 2020. Suitable for borders, specimen planting, hedges, and containers, this rose adds elegance and charm to any garden setting.
