Rose - Volcano

Common Name:
Rose 'Volcano'

Description:
Rose 'Volcano' is a captivating hybrid tea rose celebrated for its vibrant, fiery blooms. The flowers exhibit a rich cherry-red hue with warm yellow undertones, creating a striking display reminiscent of molten lava. Each bloom is medium-sized, approximately 8–10 cm in diameter, very double, and forms in small clusters, adding to the plant's visual appeal. While the fragrance is mild, the abundant and repeat flowering from spring through autumn ensures a continuous spectacle in the garden. The foliage is dark green and glossy, providing a lush backdrop to the vivid blooms. 'Volcano' has an upright, bushy growth habit, reaching a height of about 1 metre and a width of 80 cm. This rose thrives in Melbourne's climate, preferring full sun and well-drained, fertile soil. Its compact size and dazzling colour make it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, or as a feature plant in containers.
