Description Jackson & Perkins Floribunda of the Year 2006
Our 2006 Floribunda of the Year, bred by renowned hybridizer Dr. Keith Zary, is a marvelous rose from bud to bloom, setting clusters of pointed, ovoid buds that are nearly black. Once they open, the exquisitely formed, dark red blooms are 3 to 4 inches wide, comprised of 20 to 25 petals, and fade-proof. Standing atop 14- to 18-inch stems, Black Cherry Floribunda Rose emits a lovely, old-fashioned damask fragrance and makes wonderful cut flowers, displaying a dazzling bouquet on each branch and proving quite long-lasting in the vase.
Black Cherry Floribunda Rose begins blooming in early summer and keeps on going in waves all season long, especially if it’s promptly deadheaded. Black Cherry Floribunda Rose is a vigorous and easy-to-grow rose, heat tolerant and rust and powdery mildew resistant, meaning Black Cherry Floribunda Rose is a good choice for warmer climates.
Suitable as a low hedge or container plant as well as a border standout, Black Cherry Floribunda Rose reaches a mature size of 3 to 4 feet high and wide, its glossy, medium green foliage staying healthy and attractive all season long.
Prune Black Cherry Floribunda Rose in spring by cutting back any dead or diseased wood and any canes that cross. Cut back by about one third in warmer climates, a bit more, trim a little more than that.
