Rosa 'Rosie the Riveter'

Rosie the Riveter Floribunda Rose

Rosa 'Rosie the Riveter' is a floribunda rose bearing double flowers in glowing orange‑gold with blushes of pink and scarlet‑pink edges. The blooms open from pointed buds and appear in waves from late spring through fall above glossy dark green foliage with a rounded, bushy habit. A moderate fruity‑and‑spice fragrance adds warmth to gardens.

Developed by Christian Bédard and introduced in recent years, 'Rosie the Riveter' is known for its strong performance across summer and autumn seasons.

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.
