The Priscilla rose is a modern cut rose variety bred by Wans in Germany (2022), known for its large, romantic, and delicate appearance. It features cup-shaped, 8-10cm blooms with a blend of soft apricot, light pink, and creamy white tones. These fragrant, 45-petaled flowers grow on plants 80–110cm tall, ideal for elegant, long-lasting bouquets.
