All-America Rose Selections (AARS) 2007
Moondance floribunda rose is a garden standout, known for its stunning creamy white flowers, continual bloom cycles, and reliable performance. This award-winning variety produces high-centered blossoms in generous sprays, each bloom opening from a pointed bud into a fully double flower with 25 to 30 velvety petals. Lightly raspberry-scented and borne on 14- to 18-inch stems, these roses are ideal for cutting and will brighten vases just as effortlessly as they light up the landscape. From late spring to late fall, Moondance delivers an almost uninterrupted floral display that elevates borders, beds, and patio plantings alike.
With a mature height of 4 to 5 feet and a spread of about 3 to 4 feet, Moondance grows upright and full, clothed in glossy, deep green foliage that highlights its luminous blooms. It thrives with minimal maintenance, showing excellent resistance to powdery mildew and other common rose issues. This makes it a top choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Moondance also performs well in mixed garden beds, as a flowering hedge, or as a radiant focal point in a sunny spot.
Moondance grows best in full sun and well-drained soil and is hardy in USDA Zones 5 through 9. It tolerates heat and humidity well, continuing to bloom vigorously even during high summer. For optimal flowering, deadhead spent blooms and prune annually in late winter/early spring. Floribundas like Moondance are known for their versatility and abundance, and this one offers the added benefit of a clean, elegant white bloom that enhances any planting design. It's a must-have for cutting gardens, cottage landscapes, or formal rose displays.
