Apricot Nectar

So this is 'Apricot Nectar', a floribunda rose.

 

Recently deceased in my garden due to a fierce storm that ravaged a lot of the Hills District, in northwestern Sydney.

 

So this is my tribute to a beautiful and resilient rose that, until this freak storm, flowered so profusely. It always had flowers, even during July - the peak of winter.

 

Rosa 'Apricot Nectar' is a floribunda rose, bred by Eugene Boerner in 1964. The rose is a floribunda (which means it has many blooms) yet has big flowers that make it look like a hybrid tea-rose.

 

It has a subtle pale apricot pink colour and a mild fruity fragrance. It was named an All-America Rose Selections winner in 1966.
