Flash Gordon Floribunda Rose

Flash Gordon floribunda rose delivers high-impact color and a pollinator-friendly bloom form in a vigorous, upright shrub. Its large, semi-double flowers span 4 to 5 inches and appear in small clusters throughout the season. The blooms are a bold cerise pink with white and blush-pink reverses, creating a layered, almost two-toned effect. Short, rounded buds open into decorative, open-faced flowers that attract bees and offer a touch of wild beauty. Growing 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide, Flash Gordon is a well-foliated, semi-shrubby rose that's perfect for making a statement.

This floribunda variety fits beautifully into sunny borders, pollinator gardens, and cutting beds. Its vibrant color contrasts wonderfully with blue and silver companions such as catmint, salvia, or artemisia. Flash Gordon's strong stems and long-lasting blooms also make it excellent for floral arrangements. Whether planted en masse or as a bold accent among perennials, it brings both height and color to the landscape. Its upright habit and repeating bloom cycles from late spring through mid to late fall provide continuous appeal.

Flash Gordon thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It's highly resistant to blackspot, powdery mildew, and rust—making it a smart choice for gardeners looking for low-maintenance beauty. Space plants about 5 feet apart to accommodate their generous growth habit and ensure airflow. Water regularly during dry spells and prune in early spring to encourage fresh growth. With pollinator appeal, excellent disease resistance, and nonstop blooms, Flash Gordon is a garden powerhouse.
