This Australian-bred favourite offers Toowoomba gardeners a beautiful, hardy option that performs exceptionally well in local conditions, delivering colour, fragrance, and vigour season after season.
Bred for Beauty and Reliability
Rose 'Coconut Ice' is more than just a pretty bloom - it’s bred for performance. With clusters of medium-sized, fully double flowers, it puts on a prolific display from late spring to autumn.
