An All-America Rose Selection winner with a self-cleaning habit and multiple international trial honours.

More About Cinco de Mayo™

Cinco de Mayo™ unfolds from burnt orange-red pointed buds into medium, semi-double blooms. Generous clusters of flat flowers reveal burnt orange petals with a lighter reverse that open with frilly petals to show a collection of red stamens, aging to maroon purple hues as the bloom matures. Lightly fragrant with sweet and musky notes combined with fruity hints of apple and pear, Cinco de Mayo offers charming aromatic appeal as the striking colour transitions develop their bold display throughout the season.
