Rose 'Oranges and Lemons' Papagena

Treat yourself to something rather special by growing this dazzling bi-coloured rose. This eye-catching Floribunda produces masses of striped flowers that certainly pack a visual punch!

This novel variety boasts yellow blooms boldly splashed and striped in bright orange. 'Oranges and Lemons' is a repeat flowering rose, producing large clusters of slightly fragrant blooms throughout the summer and into autumn, contrasting beautifully with dark green glossy foliage. Superb as a cut flower and striking in mixed flower borders.

Even when not in flower, this plant still rewards with colour as the new growth emerges in a glossy maroon-red before transforming to deep green - so if you're looking for some 'wow factor' for many months, then this is the rose for you.

As a Floribunda rose bush, 'Oranges and Lemons' has a good resistance to disease, is hardy, and very easy to grow. Even perfect for those without ample garden space, you can grow this variety in a large pot for the patio or balcony.

The incredible colour is caused by what is known as a 'jumping gene' which creates instability in the colour of each flower, so can be either of two colours - or both! This makes each petal and flower completely unique, giving a lovely contrasting mix as no two blooms will be the same.

Floribunda roses are often repeat flowering, producing multiple large clustered blooms across a long season and making them ideal in the garden.

Supplied as a bare root rose, ready to plant.
