Milky chocolate buds open to soft latte blooms that gradually fade into a wash of dusky lavender—an unexpected and enchanting colour blend. This compact floribunda forms a neat, rounded bush with clean green foliage and a light tea fragrance. Both stylish and resilient, it’s a standout choice for those who love something a little different, especially coffee-toned blooms with character.
Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Water newly planted roses daily during their first season. Once established (after a year), two deep soaks per week during warm weather will keep them thriving. Apply a soil wetter in spring and again in mid-summer to improve water penetration. Feed every four weeks from late April to early May with a quality rose fertiliser. Prune in winter to encourage healthy new growth, and follow with a lime sulphur spray to help prevent fungal disease. Apply mulch to retain moisture, keeping it clear of the base of the plant.
