Floribunda. This NZ bred, multi award winning rose flowers continuously throughout the summer. The large clusters of blooms are beautiful, very double, and shaded a soft rose pink. Nice light perfume. An outstanding and deservedly popular rose with a lovely healthy compact bush. 1984

Sam McGredy named this rose after his friend the late Rex Hotchin who was not at all like a pretty pink floribunda but a good friend worthy of naming a beautiful rose after.
