Pollination Information for Cream Veranda Rose (Rosa 'KORfloci01')

The Cream Veranda Rose is a self-pollinating hybrid tea rose cultivar. This means that it has both male and female reproductive structures in each flower, allowing it to produce viable seeds without requiring pollen from a different plant.

However, while self-pollination is possible, cross-pollination can still occur and can lead to genetic diversity in the resulting seedlings. Insects such as bees, butterflies, and moths are common pollinators for roses, as they are attracted to the flowers' bright colors and sweet fragrance.

It is important to note that certain rose varieties may require cross-pollination in order to produce the best quality blooms. However, the Cream Veranda Rose does not fall into this category and can effectively produce quality flowers without cross-pollination.
