Rose - Earth Angel

Common Name:
Rose ‘Earth Angel’

Description:
Earth Angel is a charming and highly fragrant floribunda rose, celebrated for its peony-style blooms and elegant appearance. Starting as deep pink buds, the flowers open into full, rounded blooms that blend creamy white outer petals with a soft blush pink centre. The blooms have a distinct old-fashioned form and are exceptionally fragrant, combining fresh fruity top notes of lemon and champagne with subtle elderflower, raspberry, apple, and a classic rose base. This upright, compact bush features bright glossy green foliage, is highly resistant to common diseases like black spot and mildew, and thrives in well-drained, nutrient-rich soils in Melbourne’s climate. It blooms in repeat flushes from early spring through late autumn, requiring minimal pruning and upkeep once established. Its excellent health and scent make it ideal for perennial borders, sensory gardens, or containers where fragrance is prized.
