Rose - Sparrieshoop

Common Name:
Rose 'Sparrieshoop'

Description:
Rose 'Sparrieshoop' is a charming modern shrub rose introduced by Kordes in Germany in 1953. It presents graceful single blooms in soft pink tones, often with a white-flushed centre and prominent golden stamens. The petals are gently waved, producing a semi-wild, romantic effect, while offering a pleasing, medium-strong fragrance. Exceptionally free-flowering, it repeats throughout the season from mid-spring into late autumn, creating large clusters of blooms that attract admiration and pollinators alike. The plant features vigorous growth, glossy leathery mid-green foliage, and a bushy upright habit. It adapts well to being trained as a climber in warmer climates or grown as a striking shrub. Hardy, low-maintenance, and excellent for cutting, 'Sparrieshoop' is ideal for both formal and informal garden settings in Melbourne.
