Rose ‘Graham Ross AM’ – A Tribute to Gardening Excellence
Celebrate the passion and legacy of one of Australia’s most respected horticulturists with the award-winning Rose ‘Graham Ross AM’, now available at True Blue Garden Centre, Toowoomba. Named in honour of gardening icon Graham Ross—Australia’s first and only horticulturist inducted into the prestigious London Guild of Garden Writers Hall of Fame—this striking hybrid tea rose offers beauty, fragrance, and performance in equal measure.
🌼 Breathtaking Golden Blooms
The ‘Graham Ross AM’ rose produces large, well-formed blooms in a soft golden apricot hue, often flushed with warm peach and apricot tones in cooler weather. Each flower unfurls gracefully from classic high-centred buds, held on long, sturdy stems -making it ideal for cutting and floral displays.
Its glowing tones provide a radiant focal point in any Toowoomba garden, from formal rose beds to mixed borders, and pair beautifully with purples, whites, and silvers.
🌿 Fragrance & Flower Power
Highly prized not only for its appearance but also its strong, sweet fragrance, ‘Graham Ross AM’ will perfume the garden with each flush. This variety blooms in abundant, repeated flushes from spring to late autumn, ensuring your garden stays lively and fragrant across the seasons.
💪 Disease Resistance & Growth Habit
Engineered for Australian conditions, this rose features excellent disease resistance, including strong tolerance to black spot and mildew. The bush itself is upright and vigorous, reaching approximately 1.2–1.5 metres high, with healthy, mid-green foliage that provides a lush backdrop to its glowing blooms.
🌱 Ideal for Toowoomba & Surrounds
Whether you're planting in the red soils of the Toowoomba Range or the cooler climates of Highfields, this rose thrives in full sun and benefits from well-drained soil and regular feeding. It’s well suited to Darling Downs gardeners looking for a low-maintenance, high-impact rose with local climate resilience.
