A vivid red floribunda rose with wild-rose charm, golden stamens, and a garden-loving purpose: feeding pollinators first, then birds with brilliant hips.
A Red Rose With a Wild Heart
Rosa 'MEIariba' PP 35,045
Friendly® Red
Friendly® Red brings soft, joyful color to the easy-care landscape rose category. Its simple five-petal blooms open a true, velvety-red around a small white eye and bright golden stamens, creating an inviting landing place for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators.
As the season progresses, the flowers give way to decorative red hips that extend the display into fall and winter while providing a valuable food source for fruit-loving birds. It is a rose that combines beauty with purpose—floriferous, resilient, and remarkably easy to grow.
A rose with a wild heart, Friendly® Red celebrates the simple beauty of nature while supporting the pollinators and wildlife that help our gardens thrive.
