Garden Roses - Koko Loko

Koko Loko
Koko Loko is one of those roses that stops people mid-step — unexpected, intriguing, and just a little bit addictive.
The buds emerge in warm, cocoa-toned hues before softening into a washed palette of milky lavender and smoky mauve. As each bloom matures, the colour continues to shift, fading into a silvery, antique finish that feels both modern and nostalgic at once. It’s a rose with depth — the kind that adds quiet complexity to arrangements and gardens alike.
The blooms are full and softly structured, with a classic shape that holds beautifully both on the plant and in the vase. Lightly fragrant with a crisp, subtle spice, Koko Loko® offers just enough scent to draw you in without overwhelming.
Its compact, upright habit and repeat blooming nature make it an easy addition to the garden — generous with flowers from late spring through fall, and reliably strong even in more challenging conditions.
Unusual in colour, effortless in presence — a rose for those who appreciate something a little different.
