Rose - Spicy Parfuma

Common Name:
Rose ‘Spicy Parfuma’

Description:
Rose ‘Spicy Parfuma’ is a hybrid tea rose developed for its aromatic charm and refined bloom form. The buds begin as a soft pink and open to reveal full, cup‑shaped flowers with a rich apricot core that gently fades to paler tones on the outer petals. Its fragrance is strong and fruity with spicy overtones, making it highly suitable for cutting and floral displays. Throughout the growing season—from late spring into autumn—it produces blooms repeatedly on long, upright stems. The foliage is dark green and relatively healthy, helping the plant maintain an elegant look in the garden. In Melbourne’s climate, it thrives in full sun, with well‑drained soil, adequate moisture, and regular feeding. With proper care, ‘Spicy Parfuma’ brings a sophisticated touch and sensory appeal to rose beds, borders, or containers.
