Mardi Gras is a floribunda rose with hybrid style 4" blossoms with petals that start out apricot-orange and open to pink tinged with a soft orange and a yellow base. The AARS judges were impressed at how well Mardi Gras performed across the country, with little-to-no care.
Mardi Gras has dark green, semi-glossy foliage. Its upright, columnar growing habit, makes it a candidate for use in a mixed border or as a hedge.
Mardi Gras was hybridized by Keith Zary and is introduced by Jackson & Perkins Wholesale, Inc. of Medford, Ore.
