The Rose of the Year 2019, Starlight Symphony carries clusters of white, scented, "tudor rose" shaped flowers from July until October. Many people are not too keen on white roses, as most of them have a tendency to go brown in wet weather. Not this one!
Starlight is also floriferous, scented and its open blooms are accessible to pollinators. Each bloom is 8-10 cms across, and they are carried in large clusters of five to nine flowers. All this is gently set off by lovely, glossy, dark green foliage that attests to the plant's health and disease resistance.

After between 3 and 5 years, Starlight Symphony reaches up to about 3 metres, which makes it an ideal rose for training on pergolas, pillars, obelisks and arches. Against a wall, it will grow to 2 metres across.
This is a tidy rose, so if space is limited or you garden on a deck, balcony or roof terrace, it will grow very well in a decent sized tub.
Whether you plant in the ground or a container, put Starlight Symphony where its scent can waft over you: sensational on a warm evening.

To win the title of the best rose of the year, Starlight Symphony had to see off competition from the very best new roses from the very best breeders: Kordes, David Austin, Dickson, Beales just to name a few.
