Rose - Memoire

Common Name:
Rose 'Memoire'

Description:
Rose 'Memoire' is a classic hybrid tea rose admired for its large, pure white blooms and strong garden presence. The flowers are full, high-centred, and elegantly shaped, carried on long, sturdy stems that make them perfect for cutting and floral arrangements. Blooming begins in late spring and continues in flushes through summer and into autumn, with each flower offering a subtle, sweet fragrance. The dark green, glossy foliage contrasts beautifully with the pristine white petals, enhancing its impact in garden beds or as a specimen rose. Known for its excellent disease resistance and reliable performance, 'Memoire' thrives in Melbourne conditions when planted in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. It is a timeless rose variety often chosen for both ornamental gardens and commemorative plantings due to its purity and elegance.
