Rose - Pumpkin Patch

Common Name:
Rose 'Pumpkin Patch'

Description:
Rose 'Pumpkin Patch' is a striking floribunda rose that brings bold, autumnal colour to the garden with its rich coppery-orange blooms. Each flower opens from deep pumpkin-toned buds into full, rounded blossoms that gradually soften to a warm, golden amber as they mature. The colour variation across the bloom gives it a glowing, dimensional quality that's especially eye-catching in mass plantings or as a feature in rose beds. This variety produces flowers in clusters on a rounded, bushy plant with deep green, glossy foliage that offers excellent disease resistance. It has a light to moderate fruity fragrance and flowers prolifically from spring through to late autumn. Well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, 'Pumpkin Patch' performs best in full sun and responds well to regular feeding and pruning. Its unique colouring and reliable flowering make it a standout for gardeners seeking something a little different.
