Rose lovers rejoice - 10 stunning new varieties of roses have been released for 2021 by one of Australia's leading rose producers, to bring colour, scent and joy to Australian gardens.
The new roses from Treloar Roses of Bolwarra Victoria add to the hundreds the nursery has released to grace Australian gardens over more than two decades.
All but two of these brilliant varieties are bred by world renowned rose breeders, Kordes Roses.
"It's hard to choose a favourite this year with so many superb varieties with amazing colour and fragrance," said Gary Matuschka, Treloar Roses Director.
For those who love fragrant roses, Delightful Parfuma - so aptly named with superbly fragrant blooms and gorgeous magenta pink blooms is not to be missed. The fragrant notes of geranium, rose and apple encapsulate the old-world style flower making this one of their much-anticipated feature releases.
Heaven On Earth, has gorgeous big, beautiful blooms in varying shades of apricot and pink. To top it off it has a fresh, alluring perfume with a very pretty, relaxed look about the bush as it sits gracefully in the garden.
"The loose, tranquil look of Heaven On Earth is simply beautiful" said Gary. "Its big soft apricot and pink blooms with pleasing fragrance entice you to stop and admire its beauty."
Cherry Bomb and Afrikaans are the bright ones of the bunch this year with punchy colours that will stand out in the garden.
Lioness which has the most beautiful buttery lemon-coloured full blooms will stand tall and is absolutely perfect for anyone wanting a large colourful hedge to brighten up the yard or cover that ugly fence.
Among the new releases is a new apricot salmon miniature, a bright pink floribunda Pink Ayoba and a lovely sunny yellow Hybrid Tea Skylight.
There are also two new varieties, bred by David Austin Roses - Roald Dahl and Bathsheba both in the similar colour spectrum with apricot hues but Bathsheba is quite different in growth with an ability to climb to a spread of three meters.
"It's great to hear from so many people with a renewed interest in their gardens this year and now we have some super exciting varieties to keep them going into 2021 and beyond," said Gary.
