Floribunda rose 'Hot Cocoa'
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa ‘Hot Cocoa’, a floribunda rose with a unique and sophisticated color, stands out for its double red-brown flowers with chocolate and cinnamon undertones, a rare hue that subtly changes with light and temperature. Produced in abundant clusters, the flowers create a remarkable mass effect and continuous blooming throughout the season. The velvety and slightly ruffled petals enhance a light, sweet, and warm fragrance. Its compact and well-branched habit makes it an excellent choice for flowerbeds, borders, and group plantings where its deep color creates a striking contrast with light or golden tones. Its dark green, dense, and particularly resistant foliage is one of its great assets, ensuring excellent disease tolerance. Rosa ‘Hot Cocoa’ brings originality, depth, and chromatic richness to the garden while actively attracting pollinating insects.
