Rose - Soul Sister

Common Name:
Rose 'Soul Sister'

Description:
Rose 'Soul Sister' is a distinctive floribunda rose celebrated for its unique colour transitions and elegant blooms. The flowers emerge from deep orange buds, opening to reveal coppery, apricot-hued petals that gradually soften to amber-yellow as they mature. Each bloom is semi-double, featuring ruffled petals and exuding a mild, sweet fragrance. Flowering prolifically from spring through autumn, 'Soul Sister' offers a continuous display of colour and scent. The plant has a bushy, rounded growth habit with abundant dark green foliage, providing a lush backdrop to the warm-toned blooms. Thriving in Melbourne's climate, 'Soul Sister' prefers full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Regular feeding and pruning will encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Its compact size and striking appearance make it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, or as a feature plant in large containers.
