Jean Geldenhuys – Panarosa Rose

Rosa ‘Jean Geldenhuys’

Panarosa® Rose | Elegant Creamy White Blooms with Antique Charm

‘Jean Geldenhuys’ is a magnificent Panarosa® rose admired for its large, cup-shaped blooms and graceful, spreading growth habit. Green-tinged buds slowly unfurl to reveal layers of crisp white petals surrounding a centre filled with soft cream-coloured petaloids. During cooler weather, the blooms may develop a delicate pink blush along the petal edges, adding further charm. Its statuesque growth and repeat flowering make it ideal as a specimen shrub, flowering pillar, arch or espalier feature.
