Strong growing with good disease resistance, award-winning Rosa 'Aloha' produces abundant and gorgeous clusters of fragrant, deeply cup-shaped, fully double, coral pink flowers, slightly darker on their backs, with a coppery tinge at their heart. The large 'old-fashioned' blossoms, 5 in. wide (12 cm), open nicely, despite their many petals (over 50 petals), even in damp weather, and exude a very strong apple fragrance. They are perfectly displayed against the healthy, glossy, dark green foliage and make an impressive display. Very free flowering, tall, bushy, upright, 'Aloha' is quite versatile and can be grown as a shrub, although it is most effective when trained as a climber. An ideal background for its summer-long floral display!
- Blooming in flushes from late spring to late summer, this Rose is a good repeat bloomer.
- Grows up to 7-10 ft. tall (210-300 cm) with a spread of 6 ft. (180 cm). An excellent choice for beds and borders. Plant it where you will be able to enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck. Excellent cut flowers. Ideal as a free-blooming short climber for walls, arbors, fences, or other garden structures.
- Highly popular, this lovely Rose won many prestigious awards, including the Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society
- Best grown in full sun, in rich, fertile with adequate moisture, well-drained soils. Shade tolerant
- Disease resistant
- Bred by Boerner in 1949, this Hybrid Tea Rose is derived from the classic and well-known Rose 'New Dawn'.
