Rose 'Soul Mate'

Description:
Rose 'Soul Mate' is a distinguished floribunda variety, celebrated for its old-fashioned, butter-yellow blooms and delightful licorice fragrance. The flowers are medium-sized, fully double, and cupped, presenting a charming globular form. This rose boasts a bushy, compact, and well-rounded growth habit, adorned with super glossy, medium green foliage that enhances its visual appeal. 'Soul Mate' is renowned for its prolific and continuous flowering throughout the growing season, making it a standout choice for gardeners. It thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. Its excellent disease resistance and heat tolerance contribute to its reputation as one of the best yellow floribunda roses available.
