Fragrant Plum
A brand new hybrid tea-rose for my garden in 2026.
It's 'Fragrant Plum', a purple hybrid tea-rose from the USA with a delicious and exotic fragrance.
Photographed yesterday in Sydney (Monday, 12th January, 2026) amid the consistent summer rain that we have been experiencing. And so here is Belinda Carlisle with her 1980s classic song: 'Summer Rain':

'Fragrant Plum' is a mauve (purple) blend Grandiflora rose cultivar, bred by American hybridizer, Jack E. Christensen before 1988. The rose was awarded the ARS James Alexander Gamble Rose Fragrance Award in 2007. 'Fragrant Plum' thrives in hot climates and has the most amazing fragrance. Hence the fragrance award.
I purchased my 'Fragrant Plum' rose just last week from 'Green E Roses Nursery' at Galston, in the Hills District of Sydney.
