The name says it all with the seductively perfumed, fully double Adorable rose. With a fragrance reminiscent of citrus, lychee and apple, it won a People’s Choice Award at the National Rose Trial Garden of Australia in 2019, followed by the Silver Award and Most Fragrant Rose of Trial. Bred by German company Kordes, this beauty is part of the Parfuma collection from Treloar Roses, treloarroses.com.au.
