The internationally recognized Flora Colonia rose has charmed the gardens from Poland to Italy and now, North America. Her globular blossoms mature into large, very full, cupped blooms that are a warm medium pink with a hint of apricot. Deeply fragrant, which is most noticeable in the mornings or evenings, she produces small clusters and at times even a singular bloom per stem. The plant is an upright grower reaching 5′-6′ in height. The foliage is dark green, glossy and leathery with distinct undulations. The canes of this rose are nearly thornless.
