Apricot Nectar

An 'Apricot Nectar' floribunda rose photographed at the Roxborough Park Rose Gardens, in the Hills District of Sydney.

 

'Apricot Nectar' is a floribunda rose that was first grown in 1964, in the USA, by Eugene Boerner. It was then introduced to the world in 1965 by US rose cultivators Jackson and Perkins. It won the prestigious 'All American Rose Selection Award' in 1966. It is, arguably, one of America's greatest roses. It is currently (2023) the third best selling rose in Australia.
