Rose - Leonardo da Vinci

Common Name:
Rose ‘Leonardo da Vinci’

Description:
Rose ‘Leonardo da Vinci’ is a striking modern shrub rose that blends the elegance of antique rose forms with the reliability of contemporary breeding. Its large, fully double blooms resemble old-world peonies, glowing in deep rose-pink tones that hold their colour exceptionally well in the sun. Flowering in generous flushes from late spring to autumn, this rose offers months of vibrant display. While lightly scented, its main appeal lies in its consistent performance, disease resistance, and perfectly rounded growth habit. In Melbourne gardens, it thrives in full sun with well-drained soil, tolerating both heat and cooler conditions with ease. It works beautifully in formal beds, low hedges, cottage gardens, or even in large containers, making it a versatile and low-maintenance addition to any garden.
