Aoi Rose is an iconic Japanese rose introduced in 2008, celebrated for its nostalgic vintage coloring, bouquet-like flower clusters, and rich fruity tea fragrance. Unlike traditional roses that produce a single bloom per stem, Aoi creates abundant clusters of elegant flowers that transform the entire plant into a living bouquet. Its unique color evolution—from deep purplish red to smoky lavender, mauve, and bean-paste pink—makes every flowering cycle a beautiful surprise.
Supplied as a healthy 2-year-old live plant with a vigorous root system, Aoi Rose reaches approximately 80 cm (31 in) in height, making it ideal for patios, balconies, containers, and compact gardens. Each bloom measures around 8 cm (3.1 in) across with approximately 50 delicately layered petals arranged in a refined cup-shaped form. Long-lasting flowers, repeat blooming, moderate disease resistance, and excellent heat tolerance make this Japanese variety both beautiful and remarkably dependable.

Rose Planting and Care Guide
Light
Roses thrive in sunlight. During the growing season, they need at least 6 hours of direct light each day. Without sufficient light, they may not bloom — or the blooms may not fully develop.
Temperature
Roses prefer a cool to warm climate, with an optimal temperature range of 18–28°C. When temperatures exceed 33°C, growth may slow. If exposed to intense sun and high heat, provide some shade during midday.
Soil
Use loose, well-aerated, nutrient-rich soil with good drainage. A recommended mix: 40% peat moss, 20% coconut coir, and 40% garden soil.
Water & Fertilizer
Water regularly, but be careful not to overwater. When planting, use organic sheep manure as a base fertilizer. For weekly feeding, a diluted water-soluble fertilizer works well throughout all stages of growth.
Pruning
Prune regularly based on growth needs. Remove diseased branches, deadwood, thin stems, overly dense growth, spent blooms, and excessively long branches by cutting them back. When removing old branches, cut them off at the base.
