Sexy Rexy was released nearly 40 years ago and caused a bit of a stir in the world of roses because of its name. Sexy Rexy is one of the most popular floribunda roses and still widely grown around the world today. It’s reputation is also down to its sheer flower power with a mass of pale pink blooms being produced. It can be a bit slow to repeat but is a sight in full bloom. In the garden, it is a medium growing bushy plant that also is great grown as a standard. Generally trouble free, black spot can show up when conditions are right. Sexy Rexy is named after an old friend of its breeder SamMcGredy. The name was originally a nickname when it was being tested as a seedling and stuck. A multiple award winner around the world including the top award at the New Zealand Rose Society trials in Palmerston North in 1984. Bred from ‘Seaspray’ x ‘Dreaming’, its reputation has also been forged as a parent to many newer roses over the years and is a good rose to start breeding with, even though it can produce a lot of similar roses in the pink and white shades.
