You can expect this rose to bloom in small clusters and in flushes throughout the season. Better Times® Eleganza® puts on a vivid show of colour, and as alluded to above, the petals varying in playful shades of deep pink, orange, and yellow. These blooms are longer-lasting, making them an excellent choice for the cut flower gardener.
