Rosa (Floribunda Group) 'Absolutely Fabulous'

Named Rose of the Year 2010, Rosa 'Absolutely Fabulous' is a fantastic floribunda rose with good disease resistance and a distinctive liquorice fragrance.

The compact plants bear beautiful clusters of old-fashioned, primrose-yellow, fragrant flowers throughout summer and into autumn. It's ideal for growing in the herbaceous border or even in a large pot.

Rosa 'Absolutely Fabulous' grows well in a variety of soil types but does better if mulched with well-rotted manure or compost. Hard prune in February and help prolong flowering by deadheading regularly, and adding a high potash feed every fortnight in summer.
