Colorful Floribunda favorite! You'll love the outstanding, large, orange-scarlet, semi-double, classic Floribunda Rose blooms on the Playboy® Rose Bush (Rosa 'Playboy'). No wonder this fragrant fantasy has been so popular. Its proven performance makes it an easy choice - no matter if you are an experienced Rosarian or a total newbie.

With the visual impact of its blooms and foliage, this charming variety is a standout in the landscape. It is one of the showiest Roses you can plant! The most endearing characteristic of Playboy® is the fanciful color shading. The blossoms start out brilliant orange-yellow and age to a deeper red. A golden yellow stamen sits in the middle of each blossom.

Playboy will lightly perfume your yard with a luscious apple scent. The hint of freshness seduces your nose as you get closer. The semi-double blooms appear full and lush, due to the extra set of petals on each bloom. A wavy outside edge of each petal adds depth to each multicolored blossom. The eye-catching blossoms reach 3.5 inches across. In colder climates, blooms may grow even larger.

Glossy green foliage offsets the vivid blooms. The foliage is dark green and appears to be almost polished. Growing into a tidy 3-4 feet in height and width in time. Not the fastest growing shrubs, Playboy® Floribunda Rose's slower growth means very low maintenance and not overwhelming their space.

Playboy Floribunda Roses bloom very profusely and can be widely grown across most of the United States in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9. Playboy has been performing at a high level for a long time. It was the New Zealand National Rose Trial Ground winner and it was a Portland Gold Medal winner. This is a Floribunda cross of the City of Leeds with a Hybrid of the Chanelle and Piccadilly roses, which gives it multi-blooming characteristics and a larger blossom size!

Planting and Application:

No matter where you plant it, people are drawn to the Playboy Rose. This appeal makes it a great plant to use as a single specimen in a border planting. Try it as an outstanding focal point in a personal Meditation Garden.

Of course, you'll want to be sure to include at least one as a part of a collection of different Rose varieties. Pair it with yellow, melon-colored, or red Roses for an extra appeal! It's just the va-va-voom your Rose garden and cut flower border needs.

Treat this Rose as a shrub to be used almost anywhere in the garden. Plant as a low hedge by spacing plants at 5 feet on center. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

A dependable repeat bloomer, the long continuous bloom can be sustained by simply removing the spent blooms during the flowering season. Much to the delight of your butterflies, bees, and beneficial pollinators, the blooms just keep popping! You can even keep these tidy shrub Roses in large containers as focal points in the sun.

Be sure to allow the last spray of the season to develop into beautiful Rose hips. Birds will love them, and they'll provide gorgeous winter interest. Chock full of Vitamin C, you might even use them in seasonal teas.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Site selection is actually the most important aspect. Plant Roses in full sun, favoring the morning sun for best results. Making sure the soil is well draining is important as well! Roses outdoors or in containers require a consistent schedule of supplemental moisture. Don't forget to add a thick layer of Mulch.

Floribunda Roses are easy to maintain and extremely disease-resistant! No need to worry about common Rose ailments anymore! Fertilize each spring with a slow-release or controlled-release fertilizer should do the trick and leave your shrub happier and healthier than ever.

Prune to maintain height in late winter or early spring. Cut out all but 3 to 4 evenly spaced laterals and then cut those back by 1/3rd to get your plants off to a great start for the growing season. Pruning Roses allows for better, bushier growth each year. Read all you need about Rose pruning Roses Here, and about winterizing your Roses Here, and un-wintering Roses in Spring in our #ProPlantTips Garden Blog! Don't forget the Nature Hills Root Booster, to give this fragrant Rose life-long support when used during planting.

Rose Bush FAQs

Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?

Rose bushes prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.

What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?

You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.

Do Rose Bushes Come Back Every Year?

Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.

Just lovely, 3 color stage, single petal rose

It is so lovely going from a yellow to tangerine then to coral. The Playboy rose grows wonderfully well here in Phoenix, as long as it gets a little protection from the sun. Otherwise the delicate flowers burn.

Dear April,

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful experience with the Playboy® Floribunda Rose! We’re delighted to hear how much you’re enjoying the stunning three-color transition—from yellow to tangerine to coral—that truly makes this rose a standout in your Phoenix garden. Your tip about providing some sun protection to prevent the delicate flowers from burning is incredibly valuable, especially given the intense Arizona sun.

If you’re interested, light afternoon shade or using a shade cloth during peak sun hours can work wonders to keep the blooms vibrant and healthy. Also, regular watering during those hot periods helps the rose stay resilient. For more tailored advice on caring for roses in warmer climates, feel free to check out our care guides or reach out anytime!

Thanks again, April, for your thoughtful feedback and happy gardening with your stunning Playboy rose!

Bloom on,
The Nature Hills Plant Knowledge Team

Hi April,

Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with the Playboy® Floribunda Rose! We’re delighted to hear how beautifully those vibrant hues transition from yellow to tangerine and finally coral—it truly is a stunning sequence. Your tip about providing some afternoon sun protection in Phoenix is spot-on; those delicate petals definitely appreciate some shade during the hottest parts of the day to prevent burning.

If you’re interested, you might also consider mulching around the base to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature even further. Ensuring your rose gets deep watering in the cooler hours can also promote healthy, resilient blooms. And don’t hesitate to reach out if you want advice on shade options or companion plants that thrive in Phoenix’s climate alongside your roses!

Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback. Wishing you many joyous moments with your vibrant rose garden!

Wishing you happy planting,
The Nature Hills Plant Experts
