Bush Rose Soul Mate - 20cm Pot

‘Soul Mate’ is a charming floribunda rose celebrated for its old-fashioned, fully double blooms in warm lemon and butter-gold tones. Flowering generously in repeated flushes throughout the season, it brings a cheerful splash of colour to garden beds while pairing beautifully with both cool and warm planting schemes.

One of its standout features is its distinctive fragrance, blending sweet licorice with subtle spice for a perfume that is both unusual and memorable. Combined with super glossy foliage, excellent disease resistance and a naturally rounded growth habit, ‘Soul Mate’ is an easy-care variety that performs reliably year after year.

Known internationally as ‘Julia Child’, this award-winning rose is equally at home as a feature plant, in mixed rose borders or planted in groups for a striking display.

Mature size: approximately 1.2 metres high × 1 metre wide

Fragrance: Strong licorice and spice fragrance
