Rose - Sweet Memory

Common Name:
Sweet Memory Rose

Description:
The Sweet Memory Rose is a vibrant hybrid tea rose, celebrated for its clear pink blooms and robust performance. Bred by Kordes and introduced in 2004, this variety was named in support of Dementia Australia, serving as a living tribute to those affected by the disease. Its large, well-formed flowers are produced in abundance throughout the growing season, offering a light, sweet fragrance. The plant exhibits a vigorous, shrub-like growth habit with glossy dark green foliage, providing a striking contrast to the vivid blooms. Highly disease-resistant and low-maintenance, it thrives in Melbourne's climate, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, or as a feature in containers.
