Friendship for ever

Friendship Forever

Friendship Forever is developed by the rose breeder Rosa Eskelund and was named on July 1 at the World Rose Convention 2018, Copenhagen. The event took place in front of more than 600 people from all over the world at the celebration of the WFRS 50th anniversary. It is also a charity rose, which means that for every Friendship Forever rose that that Roses Forever sells, a part of the royalty is added to WFRS (World Federation of Rose Societie. Friendship Forever is a floribunda rose with several flowers on each stem. Swedish Rose Society’s Vice President Christer Jonsson describes the color as warm deep golden yellow. “A wonderful color,” he says. “The flowers are large 6-7cm and have between 17-25 petals.” He is also fond of the leaves. “It is nice, with very glossy dark green foliage. Friendship Forever is a rose that has captivated me with its beauty during the year, the deep golden yellow, almost bronze-colored flower set against the dark green foliage is breathtaking!”. The rose has, you could say, a color scheme in three steps-bronze-yellow buds-golden-yellow flowers- to light yellow color towards the end of flowering. “There is a saying that yellow roses are only loved by us men, but Friendship Forever I think many women will fall for too!”

The rose will be 50-80cm high and will bloom remodeling from the end of June until well into the autumn. “If Friendship Forever is pruned continuously during the flowering season, the Rose will bloom abundantly well into the autumn. This year, the rose had flowers well into October.”
