More information
Apricot floribundas were popular during the 1990s. Atlantic Star belongs to that style of rose. At the beginning of flowering, the blooms appear more pink than apricot, while the undersides of the petals are orange; the interplay of pink and orange tones creates a pronounced apricot effect. As they age, the flowers turn pink. The blooms are double, with wavy petals. They are produced in clusters of up to seven on long, upright shoots, making them suitable for cutting. The foliage is dense, glossy, dark green, and the shoots are prickly. It shows healthy growth. The blooms withstand rain well.
