Rose - Europeana

Common Name:
Rose 'Europeana'

Description:
Rose 'Europeana' is a classic and award-winning floribunda rose known for its deep red blooms and prolific flowering habit. Bred in the Netherlands in the 1960s, this variety has stood the test of time thanks to its reliability, rich colour, and compact growth. The flowers are a striking dark red, sometimes described as ruby or wine-red, held in large clusters above glossy, dark green foliage. Each bloom is semi-double and lightly fragrant, creating a bold, elegant display throughout the growing season. 'Europeana' performs beautifully in Melbourne gardens, flourishing in full sun and well-drained soils. It is highly disease resistant and low maintenance, making it suitable for both formal garden borders and mass planting. Flowering begins in spring and continues well into late autumn with minimal deadheading required. Its tidy, bushy form and repeat flowering nature also make it a good candidate for low hedging or container growing.
