Rose - Showpiece Orange

Common Name:
Rose 'Showpiece Orange'

Description:
Rose 'Showpiece Orange' is a vibrant and luxurious hybrid tea rose developed by the renowned breeder Tom Carruth in collaboration with Flemings Nurseries. This variety is part of the 'Showpiece' series, bred specifically for lush colour, dense petals, strong fragrance, and robust disease resistance. The 'Showpiece Orange' lives up to its name with large, double blooms in intense, glowing orange tones that can develop coral or tangerine highlights depending on temperature and light. The flowers are strongly perfumed, with a classic rose scent that makes them a standout in any garden or vase. Blooming prolifically from spring through to late autumn, it provides season-long colour and structure. Ideal for Melbourne gardens, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, requiring only moderate maintenance thanks to its improved resistance to black spot and mildew. Whether grown as a feature shrub, in rose beds, or as a cut flower, this rose delivers show-stopping performance.
