Rose - Kosmos

Common name:
Kosmos Rose

Description:
The Kosmos Rose is a floribunda variety bred by Kordes in 2006, renowned for its large, fully double, cream-coloured blooms with a soft apricot centre. These 8cm cupped flowers exude a delicate fragrance and bloom in clusters from late spring through autumn. The plant forms a bushy, upright shrub reaching 70–80cm in height and 50–60cm in width, adorned with glossy, dark green foliage. Noted for its exceptional disease resistance, Kosmos received the prestigious ADR award in 2007. It thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. This rose is ideal for borders, containers, or as a feature plant, adding a touch of elegance and charm to any garden setting.
