Gispy boy

Gipsy boy, Geschwind 1909

Zigeunerknabe 

Bourbon

Geschwind from the Danube Monarchy gave us a few fabulous roses and I'm still discovering creations from him and they are all very very good

Gipsy boy or Zigeunerknabe is probably his most known creation. It's a Bourbon rose which is loved worldwide. It has full, cupped violet red flowers turning to purple when aging. When fully open you see the yellow stamens. They have a lovely old rose fragrance. Summer blooming in June and July.

Like all Bourbons she can get big 200X200 cm and she's perfect for pegging purposes or as a small climber

She's healthy for her age. It's an extremely Hardy rose USDA 2b to 9b

Dirk's opinion:

A classic. Every bigger garden should have this rose. It's such a stunning rose when in full flush.
