Sweet Fragrance Rose: A Captivating Addition to Your Garden

The Sweet Fragrance rose is a delightful grandiflora variety that captivates with its blend of apricot, coral, and yellow hues, aging gracefully to a soft salmon pink. Bred by Peter Ping Lim and introduced by Bailey Nurseries in 2007, this rose is a true testament to beauty and resilience. With its robust disease resistance, strong fragrance, and continuous blooms, the Sweet Fragrance rose is perfect for anyone looking to add elegance and charm to their garden.

A Colorful Display with a Sweet Aroma

The Sweet Fragrance rose stands out for its vibrant and warm color palette. Each bloom showcases a harmonious blend of orange, coral, and yellow, gradually transitioning to a delicate salmon pink as the flower matures. These large, full blooms, consisting of up to 35 petals, have a classic hybrid tea form and typically measure around 3.5 inches in diameter. The rose emits a strong, sweet fragrance that lives up to its name, making it a delight for both the senses and the eyes.

Ideal for Various Garden Uses

This grandiflora rose grows to a medium, upright height of 2 to 4 feet, with an equal spread, making it versatile for different garden settings. Whether you want to create stunning borders, fill containers, or establish a fragrant hedge, the rose fits the bill. It also makes an excellent cut flower, with its long-lasting vase life and captivating fragrance ensuring that its beauty can also be enjoyed indoors.

Low Maintenance with High Disease Resistance

One of the standout features of this rose is its exceptional disease resistance. This rose variety thrives in USDA zones 5b through 9b, making it adaptable to various climates. It blooms prolifically throughout the season, with small clusters of flowers ensuring a continuous display of color. Regular removal of spent blooms encourages re-blooming, while spring pruning helps maintain the plant’s shape and vitality.

Care Tips for the Sweet Fragrance Rose

Plant the rose in a sunny location with well-drained soil for optimal growth. Water regularly, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not soggy. In the spring, prune old canes and remove any dead or diseased wood to promote healthy growth. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third, while in colder areas, you may need to prune more to protect the plant from harsh winter conditions.
