Rose - Olivia Newton John

Common Name:
Olivia Newton-John Rose

Description:
The Olivia Newton-John Rose is a stunning floribunda variety, celebrated for its elegant blooms and charitable significance. This rose features delicate apricot buds that unfurl into peachy-apricot flowers, which mature into softly ruffled, old-world style blooms with a musky pink hue at the petal margins. The flowers emit a gentle tea rose fragrance, adding a sensory delight to any garden. Bred for resilience, this variety exhibits exceptional disease resistance and thrives in Melbourne's climate. It blooms prolifically from late spring through autumn, providing continuous colour and fragrance. Notably, part proceeds from the sale of this rose support the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre, making it a meaningful addition to any garden.
