(Floribundas (cluster roses)) Vivid clusters of boldly striped flowers in tangerine orange and soft lemon yellow create a cheerful, carnival-like display, complemented beautifully by exceptionally glossy foliage with rich red and green tones. Reliably repeat-flowering from early summer well into autumn, this exuberant rose brings sustained colour and moderate fragrance to the garden over a remarkably long season. The name, of course, is a playful nod to the flower's irresistible two-tone colouring, echoing the colours of the beloved English nursery rhyme.

Frequently asked questions

Bare-root Oranges And Lemons 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 Oranges And Lemons with confidence. See our Rose Guarantee page for the full details.

Often, yes — we grow our roses ourselves and stock varies through the season, so a variety that's sold out can come back. Use the "Notify me" button above to be emailed the moment Oranges And Lemons is back in stock.

Oranges And Lemons's mature growth range is 75cm x 45cm (2.5ft x 1.5ft). 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.

Oranges And Lemons is a Floribunda rose.
