Europeana

Rosa 'Europeana'

a greenhouse filled with lots of green plants

A show-stopping floribunda that produces massive clusters of deep crimson-red blooms that seem to glow with inner fire. This compact, bushy rose blooms repeatedly throughout the season and is incredibly disease resistant, making it perfect for mass plantings or as a specimen. The dark bronze-tinted foliage provides stunning contrast to the brilliant red flowers.
