About this plant
Rosa 'Perfume Factory' is a hybrid tea rose that opens with large, high‑centered blooms in deep magenta‑plum tones with lavender‑pink edges. Blooms arrive in early summer and continue through fall, delivering a spicy‑fruity fragrance that intensifies with warm weather. Dark green, glossy foliage frames each flower and supports repeat flowering with clean leaves. Its upright, bushy habit makes it a strong performer for cutting gardens or display beds where fragrance and form matter.
Introduced by Weeks® Roses in 2020, this rose is noted for its abundant soft petals-about forty to fifty per bloom-and excellent disease resistance. The full flowers, lasting form, and long‑lasting blooms bring both color and scent season after season.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Long, straight stems make hybrid teas ideal for cutting, so give each plant room and airflow.
Where to see it
