Floribunda rose 'Shockwave'

Latin name
Rosa 'Shockwave'
Common name
Floribunda rose 'Shockwave'
Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

The 'Shockwave' rose is a real eye-catcher with its bright, almost fluorescent yellow flowers, which retain their shine even in intense sunlight. The flowers, in abundant clusters, appear continuously from early summer until frost. Although not very fragrant, they more than make up for it in visual impact. The bush is compact, well-branched, and vigorous, reaching approximately 80 to 100 cm. Disease-resistant and easy to care for, 'Shockwave' is ideal for livening up beds, borders, or containers with a vibrant, sunny touch.
