Floribunda
Habit: The upright, rounded, bush grows 3 ½ feet by 3 feet. Because of its vigor
and strength, Eureka makes a great addition to any landscape. Planted in groups of three

used as a bedding rose–the traditional role of Floribundas.

old-fashioned bloom of rich copper-apricot.
Bloom: Pointed oval buds, rested upon dark green glossy foliage, open to reveal
four-inch blooms with a petal count of 25 to 30.
Fragrance: Light
Hybridizer: The Kordes Company hybridized Eureka.

Introducer: Eureka is introduced by Jackson & Perkins Wholesale.

garden centers, nurseries, home centers and mass merchandisers during the 2003-planting
season.
