Brindabella Redstar™ New Release Bush Rose

Brindabella Redstar Rose is a modern Australian-bred floribunda/shrub rose from the Brindabella range, known for its high performance in hot climates, strong fragrance, and heavy repeat flowering.

It produces medium-sized, semi-double to double blooms in bright, glossy true red, often appearing in clusters that cover the bush in flushes from spring through autumn. The colour is a clean, vivid red rather than dark burgundy, and it holds well in heat without quickly fading. The plant has a bushy, rounded habit (around 1.0–1.2 m tall and wide) with dense, semi-glossy green foliage and very strong disease resistance, especially to blackspot and mildew.

One of its standout features is its reliable, near-continuous flowering, with the bush rarely without blooms when well maintained. It was specifically bred and trialled in Queensland conditions to perform across both humid and dry Australian climates.

Fragrance: Brindabella Redstar Rose is considered strongly fragrant, with a rich, old-rose style perfume that is unusual and notable for a modern red floribunda. Some descriptions even highlight it as one of the more perfumed modern red roses in its class.

In short:

• Colour: bright glossy red
• Form: clustered floribunda blooms
• Habit: rounded, dense shrub (≈1–1.2 m)
• Fragrance: strong old-rose perfume
• Strength: exceptional disease resistance + heavy repeat flowering + heat tolerance

It’s essentially a “modern workhorse red rose” with genuine fragrance, bred for Australian conditions rather than delicate exhibition gardening.
