Rose - Valencia

Common Name:
Rose 'Valencia'

Description:
Rose 'Valencia' is a distinguished hybrid tea rose, celebrated for its large, amber-yellow blooms and strong, sweet fragrance. Each flower is fully double, reaching up to 12 cm in diameter, and showcases a classic high-centered form. The blooms are borne mostly solitary on long, sturdy stems, making them ideal for cutting and floral arrangements. The plant exhibits a vigorous, upright growth habit with glossy, dark green foliage, contributing to its robust appearance. 'Valencia' thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. It blooms prolifically from late spring through autumn, offering repeated flushes of flowers throughout the season. Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming, and annual winter pruning helps maintain its shape and health. This rose is well-suited for garden beds, borders, and as a specimen plant, bringing both beauty and fragrance to any landscape.
