The big, bushy vigorous plant yields long-stemmed, long-lived blooms with mild tea fragrance, making it lovely in the landscape and a great choice for bouquets.

With flamboyant blooms in a novel blend of pink, orange, and yellow, and a delightful peppery scent, Mardi Gras creates a festive atmosphere in any setting. Each high-centered hybrid tea style bloom begins as an apricot-orange bud that slowly spirals open to reveal a 4-inch bright pink and orange bloom with a yellow base. As an All-America Rose Selections (AARS) winner, this festive floribunda has proven to perform exceptionally well across the country with little-to-no care. The colorful blooms are perfectly framed with dark green, semi-glossy foliage, and its upright columnar habit makes Mardi Gras an ideal rose to use as a hedge or in a border with mixed perennials. | Class: | Floribunda | Plant Habit: | Four feet tall | Growth Habit: | Upright, well-branched and hedge like | Stem Length: | 16-20 inches | Foliage Color: | Semi glossy, dark green | | Hardiness | Zone 5 | Disease Resistance: | Good | Flower Color: | Yellow orange that becomes increasingly pink at the finish | Flower Size: | 4 inches | Petal Count: | 20-25 | Fragrance: | Moderate, peppery | Parentage: | unnamed seedling x Singin' in the rain |
