Rosa ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ is a stunning large-flowered, floribunda, Hybrid Tea rose, admired for its elegant, well-formed blooms and soft, buttery yellow colouring. The flowers are produced repeatedly throughout the season, bringing long-lasting colour and classic rose beauty to the garden. Lightly fragrant and held on strong stems, they are also ideal for cutting and displaying indoors.
This variety thrives in a sunny position, where it will produce the best flowering performance. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from good air circulation to keep foliage healthy. Perfect for planting in borders, rose beds, or as a feature plant, it can also be grown in large containers on patios.
Reaching approximately 90–120cm in height, Rosa ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ forms a neat, upright habit, making it well-suited to both formal and informal planting schemes. Its repeat-flowering nature ensures a continuous display from early summer through to autumn.
With its classic shape, reliable performance, and cheerful colour, this Hybrid Tea rose is an excellent choice for adding elegance and structure to any garden.

Plant in a sunny, open position in rich, well-drained soil. Improve planting areas with organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure to support strong growth.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells and in the first growing season. Feeding with a balanced rose fertiliser in spring and again in early summer will encourage healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back stems to an outward-facing bud to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth. Deadhead spent flowers throughout the season to promote repeat flowering.
Apply a mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds. With proper care, Rosa ‘Absolutely Fabulous’ will reward you with masses of beautiful blooms year after year.
