This month we feature a rose guaranteed to light up any garden this coming season.
‘Fireball’ is a new release floribunda with masses of orange blooms with a silvery – yellow centre and reverse to the petals. The blooms are lightly fragrant and it is a free flowering variety, with quick repeat during the summer months. A medium, bushy grower with glossy green foliage, ‘Fireball will be a great colourful addition to any garden.
Bred by Rob Somerfield from Glenavon Roses in Tauranga, ‘Fireball’ caught the judges eye at the NZRS Rose Trials in Palmerston North where it won the Gold Star of the South Pacific for the highest scoring rose on trial
Available from resellers of Glenavon Roses.
