Characteristics

Paeonia ‘Rozella’ doesn’t push for attention—it earns it quietly, with form, depth and late-season reliability. Its double blooms come in rich pink, their petals soft-edged but assertive, layered like folds of silk caught mid-turn. There’s movement in the way Rozella opens—never hurried, always composed. With side buds ensuring a generous bloom cycle and stems that stay clean and upright, this lactiflora brings structure without stiffness. Introduced in 1990, it remains a steady performer in the Deluxe segment: not loud, just lasting.

Origin Rozella Peony

Rozella arrived at a time when breeding favoured dependable elegance—blooms that held their shape, stems that behaved, colour that didn’t fade. This cultivar comes from that tradition: stable, steady, and shaped by field performance. As a late bloomer, it fills the calendar when earlier varieties bow out, extending the harvest window without compromising on form or freshness. Its character lies in the details—slightly curved outer petals, a centre that glows in evening light, and a flowering rhythm growers can trust.

LACTIFLORA

Like all solid lactifloras, Rozella balances beauty and discipline. Its upright habit keeps it tidy in rows and beds alike. The presence of side buds extends production without overwhelming the plant’s rhythm, allowing for a consistent stem structure and staggered cuts. Whether grown for floristry, retail, or open-ground display, Rozella slots in with quiet certainty—and finishes the season on a high note.
