'Watford Forever' is a brand-new Floribunda bush rose that brings a blaze of orange, orange-red and bright yellow striped blooms to the garden, creating a display that feels warm, lively and full of character.
A variety with impressive pedigree, as a finalist in the 2026 RHS Chelsea Flower Show 'Plant of the Year' competition.
Each petal carries both colours in a striped pattern, with orange slightly more dominant. The result is a bold, glowing flower that stands out beautifully against the foliage. Blooms appear in clusters of five to nine, with each flower reaching up to 10cm across, so the plant quickly builds a bright and generous show.
From June to November, it keeps producing abundant flowers, continuing until the first frosts bring the season to a close. A spicy fragrance adds another reason to pause and enjoy the blooms up close.
The plant grows with a bushy habit to around 75cm tall and 60cm wide, making it easy to place in beds, borders and large patio pots. Young foliage carries a red tint before maturing to mid-to-light green, adding freshness and contrast through the growing season.
For every rose sold, a donation of £5 will be made to the Elton John AIDS Foundation (registered charity number 1017336).
Supplied as a bare root rose, ready to plant.
