Rose - Friesia

Common Name:
Friesia Rose

Description:
The Friesia Rose (Rosa ‘Friesia’), also known as Sunsprite, is an award-winning floribunda rose renowned for its intensely bright yellow, fully double blooms with a strong, sweet fragrance. This compact, bushy variety produces clusters of vibrant flowers from spring through autumn, adding a cheerful splash of colour to garden beds, borders, and pots. Friesia thrives in Melbourne’s climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil, with excellent disease resistance and strong, upright growth. Regular feeding, watering, and deadheading will promote continuous flowering, while light pruning maintains its shape and vigour.
