Rose - Origami

Common Name:
Origami Rose

Description:
The Origami Rose is a uniquely sculptural rose variety that lives up to its name with strikingly geometric, sharply defined petals that resemble the folds of paper art. This modern floribunda rose is renowned for its high-impact visual appeal and symmetrical bloom form, typically presenting in a bold, crisp red with white or cream highlights depending on growing conditions. The blooms are medium-sized but prolific, appearing in generous flushes from spring through to autumn. With a bushy, upright growth habit and strong disease resistance, Origami is both easy to maintain and visually dramatic in beds, borders, or large pots. Best grown in full sun with well-drained soil, this rose performs beautifully in Melbourne’s climate, offering structure, colour, and a light scent to the garden. It's particularly well-suited for modern landscapes or as a conversation-starting feature in a mixed planting.
