Part of the Kordes Eleganza® series, the Athena® rose is a hybrid tea with playful colouring. The tear drop-shaped buds of the variety have a red tip and open to reveal creamy-yellow blooms with cerise pink edging. These flowers are open-cupped, large and very full. The cerise edging intensifies with the exposure of sunlight. The plant is upright in habit, and reaches 4′-5′ in height, with medium green, mat foliage. This variety also won the Baden b. Wien/Vienna 1st Prize in 2014.

Bare-root pick up roses were only available if pre-ordered in the winter for spring shipping or pickup. All of our roses are now potted. We will not have bare-root roses for preorder in the fall.
Potted roses are available for pick up in-store, while quantities last, until the end of summer. Our garden centre hours of operation are Monday-Saturday, 9 am-5 pm. When placing an online order of potted roses, you will be asked to select a pick up date. These dates will only be available 48 hours from when you place your order, to allow our staff time to arrange the pick up. If you need to reschedule a pick up, please contact store staff at (905) 468-8627 or store@palatineroses.com as soon as possible.
The status of US import tariffs is constantly changing, with recent tariffs being rescheduled, imposed, lifted, and extended again. Please know for the roses shipping this spring 2025 – If the US government applies a tariff to our shipments, we will have to pass this cost along to our US customers. Thank you for being so understanding.
