Bush Rose R.S.L Rose - 20cm Pot

‘R.S.L Rose’ (Meirysett) is a distinctive bush rose with dramatic two-toned blooms in deep, velvety burgundy-red with a contrasting golden amber reverse. As the classically shaped buds open, the contrasting colours become more visible, creating an unusual display that changes depending on how the petals are viewed.

The flowers are carried on long stems, making them an excellent choice for cutting and floral arrangements. A light rose fragrance accompanies the blooms, while glossy, deep green foliage forms a healthy, well-rounded bush. Hardy, vigorous and continuously flowering throughout the season, it performs beautifully as a feature rose, planted in groups or grown in large decorative pots.

Sales of the R.S.L Rose help support the RSL and its services for veterans and their families across Australia.

Mature size: approximately 1.5 metres high

Fragrance: Light rose fragrance
