More information
Large, apricot-pink, fragrant flowers are rounded at the start of bloom, later becoming cup-shaped and double, with a strong fruity fragrance, and they open in inflorescences. The foliage is glossy, dark green. The shoots are upright and relatively stable. This cultivar shows disease resistance but requires fungal-disease prevention; it develops better in warmer climates, or it can be placed in the warmer areas of garden plots. ‘Apricot Nectar’ does not hold up well in rain. It prefers heavy loamy soils, rich in humus and well aerated. Suitable for propagation by cuttings. The rose has received many awards and titles and has remained widely grown since its introduction over 40 years ago.
