Flowers and Foliage
One of the standout features of Rosa ‘Lavender Dream’ is its profusion of lightly scented, semi-double blooms. Each blossom is a graceful blend of soft lavender-pink, with petals that open wide to reveal clusters of golden yellow stamens at the center. The flowers are relatively small, around 2 inches in diameter, but are produced in abundant clusters that cover the plant like a floral carpet.
The blooms appear early in the season and continue recurrently until the first frost. This long flowering period is one of the key reasons for its popularity in mixed borders and landscape design.
The foliage is another point of beauty: glossy, medium green, and highly disease-resistant. It forms a dense, attractive backdrop that enhances the pastel tones of the flowers and remains vibrant through the season.
