About Melody Parfumée™ Grandiflora Rose
Rosa ‘DORient’ Melody Parfumée™
Melody Parfumée™ is an enchanting Grandiflora rose introduced in the U.S. by Bear Creek Gardens and bred by François Dorieux II in France. It opens from deep plum buds into velvety lavender blooms that soften to silvery rose as they mature. With a bold, spicy damask fragrance touched with citrus, this rose is a favorite for cutting gardens and romantic borders. Its clustered blooms, glossy foliage, and upright habit create a dramatic, fragrant display all season long.
