Rosa 'Cinco de Mayo'

Rosa 'Cinco de Mayo', (aka Wekcobeju ), is a floribunda rose cultivar, bred by Tom Carruth in 2006.

The plant was created from a hybridization of floribunda cultivars, 'Topsy Turvy' and 'Julia Child'.

The cultivar was introduced into New Zealand by Matthews Nurseries Ltd in 2013 as 'The Shire', and was named an All-America Rose Selections winner in 2009.

The plant bears small clusters of double ruffled flowers that open from long, pointed buds.

The rose has a mild fragrance and glossy, dark green foliage.
