    There are several roses named Paprika. This is the oldest of them -- a Tantau floribunda bred in the 1950s. It is a small rose, usually not much more than 2 feet tall, with an exceptionally attractive habit. It is bushy from top to bottom, forming a pretty ball of color. The clustered blooms are semi-double, showing off their prominent stamens. They have a unique color blend -- bright brick-red with a purple center.
