Potted roses are supplied in a 5.5 litre pot.

An upright, repeat-flowering floribunda rose bearing clusters of coral-pink blooms with a delicate fruity fragrance — a vigorous, disease-resistant variety ideal for beds, borders or containers.

Rosa ‘Coral Gardens’ is a modern floribunda rose (also marketed under the breeder code ‘Korzwanlio’), developed by Kordes Rosen, now honoured as Rose of the Year 2026 in the UK. Its flowers open from deep coral-orange buds into charming apricot-salmon, softening to pink-coral tones as they age. The blooms are borne in clusters and emit a light fruity fragrance.

This rose is prized for its resilience: it has shown excellent disease resistance in trials, plus good rain and heat tolerance — traits that help it perform well in the unpredictable British climate. It flowers in successive flushes from early summer through to autumn, ensuring extended garden interest. Grow in full sun to part shade in well-drained soil, giving it regular feeding and watering. It adapts well to beds, mixed borders, or larger containers.

In trials for the Rose of the Year competition (a process spanning years and multiple UK trial sites), ‘Coral Gardens’ distinguished itself on criteria including bloom, plant form, health, scent, maintenance ease and flower durability. Its international trial successes span Adelaide, Kortrijk, Lyon, The Hague and Warsaw.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root Coral Gardens roses are best planted during their dormant season, from November to March, which is also when we dispatch them. Potted roses are grown in containers and can be planted at any time of year — just avoid periods of hard frost or drought, and water thoroughly after planting.

Every rose we sell is covered by our 1-year Rose Guarantee, so you can plant Coral Gardens with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.

Coral Gardens's mature growth range is 80cm. Growing conditions such as soil, sunlight, feeding and pruning can affect the final size, so treat this as a guide rather than an exact figure.

Floribunda roses produce large clusters of blooms on each stem rather than one flower at a time, giving a bold, continuous show of colour from summer into autumn. They're generally bushier and more free-flowering than Hybrid Teas, making them excellent for borders and bedding.

Coral Gardens is a Floribunda rose.
