Obsession® Floribunda Rose

This is a rose that every rose lover should grow as everything about it is wonderful. First the color is a beautiful scarlet red, the blooms last and last, and it is a prefect rose in every way possible. Everyone who likes roses should have this one in your garden. I love it. I ordered seven of these this spring after having two tree roses last year.

This is a great rose that last and last. I had gotten two tree roses of this rose last year and they have been in bloom for an extended time. I ordered more this spring in the regular shape and mass planted and I am looking forward to seeing them bloom. This is one that you need to keep in stock.

I bought two bare roots of Obsession three or four years ago, as they were on sale at the tale end of the bare root season. Upon receiving them, I was concerned that they looked "less than ideal", but that is the chance you take buying bare root late in the season. So I potted them, fed then and gave them a trial in my climate (High Desert, Zone 8B) to see what they would do. In their first season in a pot, they grew beautifully and flowered often, so I decided to put them in the ground the second year, and I couldn't be happier with them. Such a beautiful "lipstick red" rose, that just doesn't stop flowering until it freezes. The size of the rose is easily manageable, and additionally a very healthy rose. They are both proudly displayed in a planter near the street for all to see! I'm surprised that this rose isn't more talked about than it is, because it's one of the finest red roses I've ever come across. There are times during the day I make a special trip to just stare at it. Truly a rewarding rose to grow.

This rose is extraordinary. Long lasting color, blooms continously, with a lovely fragrance.

I ordered 2 of these & I can't say enough good things about Obsession. The form is compact yet the stems space themselves out nicely. It has been a prolific bloomer for me, blooms lasting a long time. The color is a gorgeous, deep velvety red & it has a pleasant fragrance. Disease resistant, also. I love it!
