About Sexy Rexy® Floribunda Rose
Rosa ‘MACrexy’ Sexy Rexy®
Sexy Rexy® is a delightful Floribunda bred by Sam McGredy IV in New Zealand (1984) and introduced as ‘Sexy Rexy®’ in the U.S. This compact, upright shrub is renowned for its profuse clusters of softly cupped, candy-pink blooms that resemble camellias. Mildly fragrant with glossy green foliage, it reblooms generously from late spring through fall, making it a beloved performer in small spaces, containers, and floral displays.
