Rose - Fearless

Common Name: Fearless Rose

Description: The Fearless Rose (Rosa 'Fearless') is a striking hybrid tea variety bred by Gareth Fryer in the United Kingdom before 2007. It is renowned for its vibrant orange blooms with a paler reverse, creating a captivating contrast. Each flower is double to full, comprising 30 to 35 petals, and emits a mild, sweet fragrance. The blooms, averaging 12.5 cm in diameter, are showcased against mid-green, leathery foliage on a tidy, upright bush. In Melbourne's climate, the Fearless Rose thrives in well-drained soils with full sun exposure. It blooms in flushes throughout the growing season, from late spring to autumn, providing a continuous display of color. This variety is also noted for its resilience, withstanding hot summer conditions and light frosts. Its robust growth habit, reaching up to 1.5 meters in height, makes it suitable for garden beds, borders, or as a striking focal point in the landscape.
