Julio Iglesias

The greatest Spanish speaking singer of the 20th century deserved a stunning captivating rose and Meilland did just that with their rose Julio Iglesias. Southern European countries and also Latin America love multi colored roses so Julio Iglesias is a red and white striped rose. The blooms are big, very showy and very double. The buds are typical Hybrid Tea, very high centered. The best feature of this rose is it's very unusual and really captivating strong fragrance. It's old rose combined with a strong citrus note but not your average citrus, it has been described as Madagascar Verveine fragrance. Very sjiek yes and totally worthy of our womanizer Julio. Healthy dark green foliage and good reblooming skills. But that's where the good features stop: It's growth is ugly, too upright, too high, very irregular, not a rounded shrub, actually a disaster regarding bush form. 180X130 cm or 7X5 feet. So keep this rose as a cut flower as she'll fill your rooms with this romantic Madagascar Verveine perfume...
Quiereme mucho... 😂
