Rose - Sugar Moon

Common Name:
Rose 'Sugar Moon'

Description:
Rose 'Sugar Moon' is a captivating hybrid tea rose, celebrated for its pure white, classically formed blooms and intense fragrance. The large, full flowers, measuring up to 12 cm in diameter, exude a powerful scent that blends sweet citrus and traditional rose notes. Emerging from elegant, pointed buds, the blooms stand out against the plant's rich, dark green, glossy foliage. 'Sugar Moon' exhibits a tall, upright, and bushy growth habit, reaching heights of approximately 1.5 to 1.8 meters. This variety is known for its vigorous growth, excellent disease resistance, and repeat blooming from late spring through autumn. Thriving in Melbourne's climate, 'Sugar Moon' prefers full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Regular deadheading encourages continuous flowering, and annual winter pruning helps maintain its shape and health. This rose is ideal for garden beds, borders, and as a striking feature in containers. Its long stems and enduring blooms make it a superb choice for cut flower arrangements, bringing both beauty and fragrance indoors.
