Koko Loko™ Floribunda Rose

Unusual, sophisticated, and endlessly fascinating, Koko Loko™ is a distinctive Floribunda rose prized for its extraordinary cocoa, lavender, and mauve-colored blooms. Bred by renowned rose hybridizer Christian Bédard, this remarkable variety offers one of the most unusual color palettes in the rose world, making it an irresistible choice for collectors and gardeners searching for something truly different.

Koko Loko™ begins its display with beautifully formed buds in warm shades of milk chocolate, café au lait, and mocha. As the flowers open and mature, those warm tones gradually transition into smoky lavender, mauve, and soft lilac. With flowers at different stages appearing simultaneously, the plant develops a fascinating multicolored effect that continually changes throughout the season.

The medium-sized, fully double flowers have a beautifully rounded form and are produced generously in clusters. A moderate fragrance adds to their appeal, while long-lasting blooms make Koko Loko™ an excellent choice for cutting and creating sophisticated floral arrangements.

Naturally compact and bushy, Koko Loko™ works beautifully in dedicated rose gardens, mixed borders, decorative containers, and collector gardens. Its repeat-flowering habit provides successive waves of its extraordinary blooms from late spring through fall.

An Extraordinary Color-Changing Rose

The remarkable coloring of Koko Loko™ is what makes this rose truly unforgettable. Fresh flowers can display warm mocha and milk-chocolate shades before gradually transitioning toward cooler lavender and mauve as they mature.

Temperature, sunlight, and bloom age can all influence the exact coloring, so the same plant may display several different shades at once. This ever-changing palette gives Koko Loko™ the romantic, muted appearance that makes café-colored roses so desirable.

Pair it with cream, ivory, blush pink, dusty mauve, lavender, or deep burgundy for an exceptionally sophisticated garden combination.
