Floribunda Rose 'Fabulous!': Zary's Exclamation Point

Introduced in 1999 by Dr. Keith Zary, 'Fabulous!' (PP12130, also known as JACrex) lives up to its punctuated name. This floribunda produces clusters of large, high-centered blooms in a stunning blend of lavender, mauve, and silver—a color combination that stops traffic.

Botanical Profile

The flowers are double, 4-5 inches across—unusually large for a floribunda—borne in clusters of 3-7. The color is a complex blend of lavender-mauve with a silvery reverse and edges. The fragrance is moderate, sweet floral. The plant is compact and bushy, 3-4 feet tall, with glossy, disease-resistant foliage. Zary has a gift for "wow" colors in the floribunda class—roses that deliver hybrid tea impact in a shrubbier package. 'Fabulous!' doesn't whisper; it announces itself with an exclamation point. For the gardener who wants a floribunda that commands the border, this is it.
