Cathedral City Floribunda New Release Bush Rose

Cathedral City Floribunda Rose is a modern, very free-flowering floribunda rose bred by Kordes and widely grown in Australia for its strong colour, reliability, and continuous blooming habit.

It produces abundant clusters of semi-double to lightly double blooms in bright orange-red to vermillion tones, often described as one of the most intense “hot coloured” floribundas. The flowers are medium-sized and carried in sprays, giving the bush a dense, colourful appearance rather than single exhibition stems. The foliage is typically dark green with a healthy, glossy look, and the plant flowers repeatedly from spring through autumn.

The bush is upright and compact to medium-sized (around 1.2 m tall), making it suitable for garden beds, borders, and mass planting where strong colour impact is desired. It is also known for being a hardy, vigorous grower that performs reliably with basic rose care.

Fragrance: Cathedral City is generally considered lightly fragrant to mildly fragrant, with a soft scent that is noticeable but not strong. Some descriptions note a gentle fragrance that can be more apparent in warm conditions, but its main focus is colour and flower production rather than perfume.

In short:

• Colour: vivid orange-red / vermillion
• Form: semi-double blooms in clusters (floribunda style)
• Habit: upright, repeat flowering, very free blooming
• Fragrance: light–mild
• Strength: strong colour impact + heavy flowering + hardy performance
