Rosa 'Hot Chocolate' (Standard) (Hot Chocolate Standard Floribunda Rose)

Rosa 'Hot Chocolate' (Standard) (Hot Chocolate Standard Floribunda Rose) is a distinctive and stylish grafted standard rose prized for its unique, warm-toned blooms and elegant form. This standard features a straight, clean stem crowned with a rounded canopy of dark green, semi-glossy foliage. From this head emerge large, double flowers in an unusual colour blend of smoky russet-brown, coffee, and mauve tones, often with lighter reverses. The flowers appear in clusters and develop richer colouration in cooler weather, creating a sophisticated display.

Ideal for contemporary gardens, containers, and mixed borders, the Hot Chocolate Standard thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. The grafted standard form adds architectural height and modern elegance to plantings, making it perfect for creating focal points or adding vertical interest. This rose is particularly valued for its unique colouration, continuous flowering habit, and ability to bring a modern, sophisticated palette to the garden.
