Rosa Scentimental Coral® - Floribunda Rose

The Scentimental Coral® Rose is a natural mutation of the famous Scentimental®, from which it has retained all the qualities. Its roses, a coral pink striated with white, have an intense, spicy-scented fragrance. Compact and well-branched, this bush has dark green, glossy foliage that is very disease-resistant. Its clusters of flowers renew themselves throughout the summer, until the first frosts. Perfectly suited to container growing, it also stands out in a border. A floribunda rose full of character, combining fragrance and bold colours in a spirit that is both modern and romantic!

The Scentimental® Coral 'Wekmindesv'cov' Rose is an introduction from Weeks Roses (USA), introduced in France by Arnaud Gellé Nurseries before 2021, with commercial distribution handled by Desvallon, Hortival Diffusion and Minier Nurseries. This rose belongs to the cluster-flowered (floribunda) cultivars, obtained by hybridizing polyantha roses and tea roses.

The Scentimental Coral® rose forms a compact, well-branched bush, reaching between 80 cm and 1 m in height and about 1 m in width. It produces medium-sized, cup-shaped flowers, 8-9 cm in diameter, with 7 to 25 petals. Their colour blends coral hues with white striations, stripes, and irregular speckles. Each flower is unique. Their fragrance is pronounced, more noticeable in warm weather. The ovoid, rounded buds bloom in clusters in successive waves from May-June until October. Its dark green, glossy, healthy foliage is formed of leaves with 3 to 7 leaflets. It is absent in winter and reforms in spring. The plant is hardy down to –20°C.

Place this Scentimental® Coral rose near a path, close to an entrance, or on a sunny terrace to fully enjoy its spicy fragrance and shimmering flowering. It will pair well with red-flowering bushy sages, white gaura or catmint, which will highlight its variegated flowers. In a rose border, pair it with varieties in creamy tones like ‘Opalia’, light apricot like 'Grande Duchesse Louise', or mauve like ‘Pacific Dream’. With its moderate, bushy habit, it is also very well-suited to container growing, provided regular watering and a fertiliser suitable for flowering are given.
