About Stephen Rulo Grandiflora Rose Bush 🌹

Rosa ‘Stephen Rulo’ William E. Chaney (USA)

Stephen Rulo is one of our most cherished and unusual roses at Grace Rose Farm. This vigorous grandiflora produces strong, straight stems and an endless succession of large, full blooms—making it a standout both in the garden and as a cut flower. Its unique beauty lies in its ever-changing colors: in cooler months, blossoms glow with warm beige and golden undertones, while in summer’s warmth they shift to silvery grey brushed with lavender. This remarkable transformation makes Stephen Rulo a true collector’s rose and a designer’s dream.
