Like the painting technique it’s named after, Impasto brings a textured, dynamic burst of colour to the garden. This exuberant shrubby rose applies nature’s palette with the same boldness an artist wields a brush—thick, layered, and rich with movement.

Its slightly arching stems bear clusters of 3 to 5 smallish blooms, each one a masterstroke of deep yellow, dramatically edged with orange and red that intensifies with sun exposure. As the blooms age, the vivid colours deepen rather than fade, eventually turning a striking full red in maturity—creating a layered canvas of floral colour at every stage of flowering.

Flowering profusely on bushes that easily reach hip height, Impasto offers healthy foliage and a relaxed, slightly informal growth habit. It’s well-suited to large pots, borders, or mass plantings. A vibrant complement—and possible rival—to ‘Deloitte & Touche’, this rose demands attention and rewards with a spectacle of lasting, painterly beauty.
