Floribunda. Like any self respecting 'Playboy' this rose makes sure it is always the centre of attention. The almost single flowers are tones of brilliant orange, scarlet and yellow. Nice glossy foliage and of course smells good too. Use to add boldness to your planting schemes. 1976.

Hybrid Tea. This Romeo is described as healthy and strong, beautifully formed, with good weather resistance and a nice fragrance. Sounds like the man, oops, rose for me! The blooms are a passionate crimson red and produced continuously, an exceptional rose for picking. 1995.

The two roses crossed to produce this Romeo were Howard Morrison and Harmonie - A very apt "meet-cute" don't you think?

Shrub. A multi award winning rose with showy, single blooms of white with bright yellow centres and edged with rose red. The arching growth is covered in these striking starry blooms and makes quite a sight in full flower. The foliage is generally healthy and disease resistant. PVR.

As this rose flowers right along the arching canes it is best not to prune the bush too hard in winter. Just give a general tidy and remove any spent canes. It would be well worth planting this rose in groups of 3 or more. NZ Rose of the Year in 2005 amongst other awards.
