Playboy Rose: A Bold and Vibrant Floribunda

The Playboy rose is a striking addition to any garden with its bold bi-color blooms that seamlessly blend orange, red, and yellow hues. This Floribunda rose, introduced by renowned hybridizer Alexander M. (Alec) Cocker in 1976, is admired for its eye-catching, semi-double flowers that appear in clusters, providing a continual display of color throughout the growing season. This compact and disease-resistant rose will thrive with minimal care, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

Distinctive Blooms and Vibrant Colors

The Playboy rose is known for its stunning flowers, reaching up to 4 inches in diameter. The semi-double blooms feature 7-11 ruffled petals, combining copper, orange, scarlet, and gold shades. Each bloom has a saucer-shaped form, appearing almost candle-like with its bright colors. The unique blend of red edges and orange-red petals makes this rose stand out in any garden. Its mild apple fragrance adds a subtle, pleasant aroma, enhancing its appeal as a cut flower or garden centerpiece.

Easy to Grow and Disease Resistant

One of the standout features of the Playboy Rose is its ease of care. This rose is highly resistant to common rose diseases, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners who want reliable beauty with little upkeep. The dark, glossy foliage contrasts beautifully with the vivid blooms, adding depth and texture to your garden. This rose performs well in various settings, whether used as a border plant, in flower beds, or in containers.

Continuous Blooming Throughout the Season

Gardeners love the Playboy Rose for its continuous blooming habit. Starting in the spring and lasting through the fall, this rose produces flushes of flowers in abundance, ensuring a vibrant and colorful display for several months. Its ability to rebloom, combined with its compact growth habit, makes it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or limited spaces where a regular display of flowers is desired.

Perfect for Borders, Beds, and Containers

The Playboy rose grows between 3 and 4 feet tall and spreads about 2 to 3 feet wide. Its compact and bushy growth habit makes it perfect for use in beds, borders, or as a standalone specimen in the garden. It thrives in USDA zones 6b and warmer, where it will benefit from full sun exposure. Pruning in spring is simple: remove dead or diseased wood and thin out old canes to encourage healthy growth.
