The Amelia (Amelia Renaissance) rose belongs to the shrub group and was bred in 2002 by the Danish Poulsen nursery. This variety combines the characteristics of old-fashioned English roses with modern traits, making it particularly appealing to gardeners. Amelia bushes are branched, upright, reaching heights up to 150 cm and widths of about 100 cm, with sturdy canes and large, glossy dark green foliage that contrasts strikingly with the bright flowers.
The rose flowers are large, bowl-shaped, up to 12 cm in diameter, double-flowered, and consist of 25-40 petals. Their color changes during the blooming period—from coral-pink to a tender apricot shade, giving the plant a "chameleon" effect. Flowers appear both singly and in small clusters of 2-3, lasting on the bush for at least ten days and emitting a rich, pleasant aroma. The rose blooms profusely starting in early summer and can rebloom throughout the season, delighting with its ornamental value and fragrance.
Amelia is distinguished by high resistance to diseases and frosts, however, due to the large bush volume, it requires winter protection, which is more labor-intensive compared to hybrid tea roses. This variety is perfect for growing in a garden and looks excellent in bouquets, thanks to its lushness, vivid coloring, and long flowering period.
