Notes:

Shizuku (しずく), meaning “Water Drop” in Japanese, is a poetic and elegant variety from the famous WABARA breeding program by Kunishige Imai. Released in 2010, it belongs to the Miniature-type WABARA family and is admired for its ethereal beauty both in the garden and as a cut flower.

The blooms are pure white, with a soft, translucent quality that sometimes shows a faint blush of pink in cooler climates. With densely packed, semi-transparent petals and a visible central “beauty point”, each flower offers a unique, almost snowflake-like charm.

Growing up to 80 cm in height, Shizuku features a horizontal, arching growth habit with slender stems that bring a sense of gentle movement and sophistication to any planting. The fragrance is soft and calming, making it ideal for creating serene indoor spaces when used in floral arrangements.

With a long blooming season and high rain tolerance, Shizuku thrives even in areas with frequent showers. Its moderate disease resistance and delicate growth make it suitable for well-cared-for garden spots or container cultivation.

For gardeners seeking a white Japanese rose that captures purity, elegance, and poetic beauty, Shizuku is a perfect choice.
