Apricot Nectar

'Apricot Nectar' floribunda rose.

Photographed, at Roxborough Park, Castle Hill (Sydney), in December of 2021 but never before processed or posted.

 

Previously, in March 2023, I posted an image of a cluster of Apricot Nectar roses, but not an individual rose like this one.

These are floribunda roses, not hybrid teas, and so they grow in clusters and they do not appear, as much, as individual blooms.

 

'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.
