Super Star Rose of September

Super Star Rose of September

high trees 141a

Super Star is one of my star picks when it comes to late blooming roses.
The petal colour is a luminous vermillion, a reddish orange with some slight veining to add mystery.
Heavily scented, Super Star spreads its perfume on still September evenings.
Super Star is free flowering with a vigorous growth habit that will see it reach 3-4 feet tall.
The buds and double flowers have a high center that opens out as the flower matures.
As a Hybrid Tea rose, Super Star is a good bedding rose that flowers through the season.
