Wayside Gardens Rosa Sugar Plum
Best fragrant rose for gardeners seeking colorful, long-lasting cut flower arrangements.
This hybrid tea rose trades the standard red-and-yellow palette for a striking lavender-splashed aesthetic that actually smells as good as it looks. It is a high-performance cut flower that blooms reliably from spring through fall, though you will need to commit to its upright, tall growth habit in your garden beds.
