Rose Oranges and Lemons Standard

Rose Oranges and Lemons Standard Details

The Oranges and Lemons standard rose is a Floribunda variety that features masses of showy flowers with yellow and orange stripes. The impressive blooms emerge in spring and continue until autumn provided the spent flowers are removed. The foliage comprises small-sized, dark green leaves which provide a lovely backdrop to the flowers. This standardised rose is grafted at 80 cm which results in a plant that typically grows to 1.3 m tall and 60 cm wide. It is generally pruned each winter with about 75% of the aerial stems removed. It grows best when planted in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site, and is tolerant of frost and cool climates. It also has very good disease resistance. The Oranges and Lemons standard rose is commonly included in a mixed planting, included in cottage, courtyard, or formal gardens, planted to border an entrance, or included anywhere the beauty can be appreciated.
