Rosa 'Honey Perfume'

Honey Perfume Floribunda Rose

Rosa 'Honey Perfume' is a floribunda rose presenting apricot-yellow blossoms that softly fade toward ivory as they age. Blooms arise in clusters from late spring until frost, and the flowers emit a spicy, sweet fragrance. Glossy dark green foliage provides a polished framework, and the rose maintains good disease resistance through the season.

Originating in the United States and introduced in 2004, Honey Perfume was awarded the All‑America Rose Selections honor.

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. Floribundas bloom in generous clusters, and light shaping keeps the framework rounded and full.
