About Eleganza® La Perla™ Bare Root Rose Bush

Rosa ‘KORpenparo’ PP21471 — Eleganza® La Perla™
🌹 A Kordes Hybrid Tea Rose

Eleganza® La Perla™ is an exquisite hybrid tea rose designed to bring timeless elegance and refined simplicity to the garden. With creamy-white to pearly-cream blooms unfolding on elegantly upright stems, this rose evokes the luminous beauty of a pearl in full bloom. The large, fully-double blossoms open with classic high-centered form and soften into rosette style, offering a graceful performance from spring through fall. 

True to Kordes’ reputation, the foliage is semi-glossy and leathery with very good resistance to black spot and mildew—making La Perla™ a reliable choice for gardeners seeking both beauty and durability.
