More information
The Head of Southampton County purchased this floribunda from Harkness Nursery; a few years later it was described as one of the leading floribundas in Great Britain. The flowers are apricot, orange, or salmon, slightly burned, and become pinker with age. A scarlet patina may appear on the underside of the petals. The flowers are semi-double and withstand rain and wind well. Although the form is not highly pronounced, blooms are very abundant, usually appearing in shield-shaped inflorescences of 3–11 flowers, sometimes singly. They are fairly large and, at the half-open stage, resemble hybrid tea roses. The bush is vigorous and tall, with fine dark green foliage. It is still cited as one of the best with this colouring.
This rose was chosen by the government of Southampton to bear the name of that port. The flowers are apricot, with about 28 petals, of clear form, appearing in medium-sized sprays on a tall, spreading bush. The variety is popular in the UK, grows well in hot climates, and the flowers do not burn in the sun.
