DESCRIPTION
Rosa ‘WEKhilpurnil’ (Neptune™) is a hybrid tea rose offering cool lavender blooms edged in silvery purple tones. The high‑centered flowers unfold from elegant buds and appear in repeated flushes from late spring through fall, exuding a moderate citrus‑rose fragrance. The blossoms are borne on glossy dark green foliage that holds a polished look and resists many common rose diseases.
Introduced in 2004, this rose has become a favorite for its unusual color and fragrance. Its blooms deepen in cooler weather and maintain form under warm conditions, making it a reliable choice for cutting gardens, specimen plantings, or decorative borders.
