Raspberry Cupcake suits gardeners who care about bloom shape and a more formal rose presence. Its colour, scent, and upright habit should be judged together before choosing a visible planting spot.
Cultivar overview
Raspberry Cupcake is a hybrid tea rose from Kordes. Introduced in 2023, it is best understood through its medium pink colour, strong raspberry and lemon teacake scent profile, and repeat bloom habit. Its strong raspberry and lemon teacake fragrance is one of the main reasons to consider it for a spot close to people. Repeat flowering makes it easier to plan for more than one moment of interest during the season.
Garden character and use
Its hybrid tea character suits gardeners who want a clearer bloom outline and an upright plant that can hold attention near paths or seating areas. At about 4 ft by 3 ft, it needs a position where mature growth will not feel crowded. Its medium pink colour gives it a romantic colour range that softens borders and pairs easily with classic perennials.
Bloom, fragrance, and care notes
Raspberry Cupcake is strongest for gardeners who care about both scent and repeat bloom. With petal count noted as 65, the bloom has a useful clue to fullness and shape. Give it good airflow, steady watering, and a sunny position so the fragrance and flower form have the best chance to show well.
