'MEIcrado'

A rare find in the rose world, Acropolis™ was bred specifically as a cut and florist rose and delivers a colour journey so unusual it stops people in their tracks. This shrub rose produces medium, double long lasting blooms in dusty pink that age through antique brown blush to a final flourish of pastel pistachio green, evoking the faded grandeur of ancient marble. Ideal for beds, borders, containers, and cutting gardens, with winter hardy credentials.

More About Acropolis™

Acropolis™ unfolds from dusty pink ovoid buds with a green blush into medium, double blooms in generous clusters. The pompon flowers open to deeply cupped blooms, their dusty pink petals with a white reverse transitioning through medium pink to a most unusual antique brown blush as the bloom matures. The colour journey completes itself in a final and extraordinary transformation to pastel pistachio green, a finish that has to be seen to be believed. Long lasting blooms make every flush a conversation piece in the garden and the vase.
