Friesia, Yellow Floribunda Rose

Friesia is certainly one of the more flamboyant of the yellow roses. Thick leathery petals, a delightful perfume, and nice dark green foliage - this one has it all!

I think this is one of the nicest scented roses that I know - although it can be very hard to pick out "just one" from the thousands of scented roses.

A bright, true yellow rose is a thing of beauty...something that breeders tried for many years to achieve. The first one wasnt produced until the introduction of Hybrid Teas.
