Bush Rose Transplant Australia Thank You - 20cm Pot

Rose ‘Thank You’ (Korvodacom) is an award-winning floribunda rose admired for its beautiful mauve flowers, delicate fragrance and healthy, bushy growth habit. Named in honour of Transplant Australia, this special rose represents gratitude and appreciation, making it a thoughtful living gift.

Its distinctive fully petalled mauve blooms are produced in generous clusters, creating a beautiful display against the plant's dark green foliage. The soft fragrance adds another appealing feature, making ‘Thank You’ a lovely addition to garden beds, borders and rose collections.

As a floribunda rose, ‘Thank You’ produces clusters of flowers throughout the flowering season, providing repeat displays of colour from spring through autumn under suitable growing conditions.

This rose is particularly meaningful as a gift of thanks or appreciation. Whether given to a friend, family member, teacher or someone who has made a difference, it offers a lasting way to express gratitude when words alone don't feel quite enough.

‘Thank You’ has also received recognition for its outstanding garden performance, winning Best Floribunda on Trial and a Silver Medal at the 2011 Australian National Rose Trial Garden Awards.

With its attractive dark foliage, healthy growth and distinctive mauve flowers, ‘Thank You’ is well suited to traditional rose gardens, mixed flowering borders and feature planting.

In Melbourne, this floribunda rose performs best in a sunny position with fertile, well-drained soil and regular seasonal care.

Mature size: approximately 1.2 metres tall. Mature width will depend on growing conditions and pruning.

Care & Growing Tips

Position: Plant in full sun, ideally receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily. Choose a position with good airflow to encourage healthy growth and flowering.

Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Incorporate compost or well-rotted organic matter before planting to improve soil structure.

Watering: Water deeply and regularly during establishment. Once established, provide consistent moisture during the warmer months, particularly during flowering and extended dry periods. Water at the base where possible to minimise wet foliage.

Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the base to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature and suppress weeds. Keep mulch clear of the main stems.

Fertilising: Feed established roses with a suitable rose fertiliser from late August in Melbourne, following the manufacturer's directions. Continue feeding during the growing season as recommended. For newly planted bare-root roses, delay fertilising until late November or early December to allow the root system to establish.

Pruning: Prune established bush roses during July in Melbourne, removing dead, damaged and crossing branches while shaping the plant to encourage healthy new growth. In colder, frost-prone areas, pruning may be delayed until August.

Deadheading: Remove spent flowers regularly during the growing season to encourage repeat flowering and maintain a tidy appearance.

Flowering: Produces clusters of fully petalled mauve blooms, with repeat flowering generally occurring from spring through autumn.

Fragrance: Features a delicate fragrance that adds to its appeal as a garden rose and cut flower.

Pests & Diseases: Monitor for common rose problems, including aphids, black spot and powdery mildew. Maintain good airflow, remove affected foliage where necessary and treat problems with a suitable rose treatment.

Winter Care: Remove fallen rose leaves and garden debris during winter to help reduce the carryover of fungal diseases. Apply fresh mulch after pruning, keeping it clear of the stems.

Container Growing: Suitable for growing in a large decorative pot with adequate drainage. Use a quality premium potting mix and provide regular watering and feeding throughout the growing season.

Cut Flowers: The attractive mauve blooms can be cut for indoor arrangements. Harvest flowers during the cooler part of the day and place stems into fresh water promptly.
