Rose, Floribunda: Julia Child

Julia Child

Floribunda:

Floribunda Roses are compact bushes that bloom in clusters. They are used as hedges, borders, mass plantings or may be planted in containers as a specimen plant. Floribunda roses have an excellent repeat bloom. Most are hardy in zones 6 - 9.

Just before our wonderful American icon left us, she selected this exceptional rose to bear her name. Julia loved the even butter gold color & the licorice candy fragrance. Yet it wasn’t just the old-fashioned blooms that inspired the recipe. The perfectly rounded habit, super glossy leaves & great disease resistance finish off the dish. An awesome AARS award winner—a right & proper honor for a dear friend.
