🌹 Rose ‘Novalis’ – A Lavender Fantasy in Full Bloom
Bring timeless elegance and rich romantic hues to your Toowoomba garden with Rose ‘Novalis’. This enchanting Floribunda rose captivates with its cool lavender-blue blooms, nostalgic form, and repeat-flowering performance all season long.
Rose ‘Novalis’ is a modern masterpiece bred for both beauty and durability. Known for its old-world charm and soft, silvery mauve petals, each large, classically shaped bloom carries a delicate, fresh fragrance that gently perfumes the air. The flowers are borne in generous clusters atop strong, upright stems, making this variety a striking feature in garden beds or a graceful addition to mixed borders.
Named after the German poet Novalis, this variety exudes romanticism and is as poetic in form as it is in colour. The unique mauve hue offers a contemporary twist on traditional rose colours, making it ideal for gardeners looking to add something distinctive and calming to their landscape.
Perfectly suited to Toowoomba’s temperate climate, Rose ‘Novalis’ thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It demonstrates good disease resistance, particularly to black spot and mildew, making it a reliable performer for both new and seasoned rose growers across the Darling Downs.
Whether you're creating a romantic cottage garden or a structured rose display, ‘Novalis’ adds visual interest and elegance from late spring through to autumn. It also performs beautifully as a cut flower, allowing you to bring the lavender-toned beauty indoors.

Planting & Care Tips for Toowoomba Gardens:
Plant in a sunny spot with at least 6 hours of direct light daily. Prepare your soil with compost or organic matter to enhance drainage and nutrition.

Prune in late winter to early spring to promote vigorous flowering.
