More information
Top Marks is a bright scarlet patio rose with strong colour retention. The flowers are double and do not fade for a long time. They are borne in clusters of 3–15; repeat flowering is quick, often keeping the bush in bloom. The bush is dense and compact, with prickly shoots and fine dark green foliage, and is resistant to disease.
The name translates as “exclamation mark”. The blooms are bright orange‑amber and hold their colour well in heat and bright sun. The flowers are somewhat “shaggy” and cover the bush almost completely, producing an extensive colour display. Winner of numerous awards.
