Rose - Electric Poetry

Common Name: Electric Poetry Rose

Description: The Electric Poetry Rose (Rosa 'Electric Poetry') is a compact, deciduous shrub rose bred by Warren Millington in Australia in 2010. This variety is notable for its cherry-red blooms with a distinctive white center. The flowers are small to medium-sized, single with 4-8 petals, and emit a mild fragrance. The plant has a short, dense, and compact habit, reaching up to 75 cm in height. Its medium green, semi-glossy foliage complements the vibrant blooms. Electric Poetry is a prolific bloomer, providing continuous color throughout the growing season. In Melbourne's climate, it thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. This rose is ideal for use in borders, low hedges, or as a specimen plant in smaller gardens.
