Stock Stox Deep Rose is a richly coloured, sweetly fragrant flower that brings elegant rose-pink blooms to cool-season gardens and bouquets alike. This variety is beloved for its dense flower spikes packed with double, ruffled blossoms in a deep rosy hue that pairs beautifully with whites, creams, and soft pastels.
