Oooooh!!! What a GORGEOUS red rose!! And look at the deep green of those leaves!! :) :)

Darren that is absolutely glorious! That little yellow flower photobombing Florentina is so cute.

Are you still getting blooms or are your roses done for the year ?

Gorgeous, Darren. Forentina is definitely one I would like to grow in multiples if I had room, and I'm picky about reds - no yellow or warm tones. It's a true, deep red, leaning toward the cool side. One cluster of blooms makes a whole bouquet. Also, the cluster blooms all at the same time, so there are no dead ones on the same stem.

My bareroot Florentinas I planted this spring are beasts already. Easily over 6' tall and very thorny. The one on the east side of the arbor blooms off and on but the one on the west side is in shade midday and only bloomed a small cluster in late summer. The flowers last a long time.

I didn't get accustomed, but I always admire this variety of roses. https://www.oke.io/Y3tJ6St
