Rosa Radiant Perfume (Grandiflora Rose)

Strongly fragrant, Rosa Radiant Perfume is an exquisite Grandiflora rose with very large, 5 in. across (12 cm), double, golden-yellow flowers (17-25 petals). Opening from elegant, pointed, ovoid buds, the brilliant blossoms emit an intense lemon fragrance. Borne mostly solitary on long stems, they bloom in flushes from spring to fall. A well-branched, spreading shrub with large, glossy, dark green leaves which provide a glorious backdrop for its summer-long floral display. A radiant beauty both in the garden and the vase that will stop you in your tracks.
