Playboy® Floribunda Rose
Rosa ‘Playboy’ – Playboy®
Playboy® is a spirited floribunda rose introduced in 1976 by Alexander M. Cocker of Scotland. Its eye-catching blooms combine cheerful yellow petals with dramatic red edges, creating a two-tone effect that’s bold yet classic. These semi-double flowers appear in clusters, offering abundant color across the season. A light apple fragrance adds charm without overpowering, making Playboy® ideal for both garden display and cut arrangements.
