Common name

Type
Flowering shrub
Family
Rosaceae

The ‘Lemon Drop’ miniature rose is a compact rose with a dense, harmoniously branched habit, valued for its bright blooms and neat silhouette. It produces an abundance of small, double, bright lemon-yellow flowers, sometimes subtly tinged with cream as they mature, which bloom continuously from early summer until the first frosts. Its glossy dark green foliage creates a vivid contrast with the fresh color of the flowers and shows good disease resistance for a miniature rose. Ideal for pots, planters, borders, or small flowerbeds, it brings brightness and energy to sunny terraces and gardens. Prolific, easy to maintain, and perfectly suited for confined spaces, the ‘Lemon Drop’ miniature rose is a reliable choice for a bright and lasting touch.
