Rose - Scarlet Bonica

Common Name:
Rose 'Scarlet Bonica'

Description:
Rose 'Scarlet Bonica' is a vibrant floribunda variety renowned for its profusion of vivid scarlet-red blooms. Each flower is medium-sized, very full with over 40 petals, and forms in clusters, creating a striking display against the glossy, dark green foliage. This rose boasts a bushy and dense growth habit, reaching a height of approximately 40 to 70 cm and a width of 50 to 60 cm. 'Scarlet Bonica' is a hardy and healthy plant, well-suited to Melbourne's climate. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, offering continuous flowering throughout the growing season. Its compact size makes it ideal for garden beds, borders, or container planting. Regular deadheading will encourage more blooms, and a light pruning in early spring will help maintain its shape and vigour.
