Wakana

Tea Hybrid /Japan/

A charming rose from Japan, whose waxy beauty in a salad shade is sure to catch the eye. When not fully open, its bud looks like a shellfish shell holding a precious pearl inside. As it opens, the centre of the rose takes on a light caramel hue. The beautifully composed flower creates an impression of lightness and purity, and its strong yet fresh aroma with notes of green tea further enhances this feeling. In hot weather, the colour of the flower is more of a delicate salad green, while in cool weather, the rose takes on a more pronounced green hue.

Despite its outward fragility, the rose is in excellent health.
