I didn't know this rose to be honest but a friend has her since a few years and when I visited his garden I was really impressed by Flora Colonia. It's a very bushy, rounded shrub of approx 120X100 cm or 4X3 feet. The foliage is glossy green and extremely healthy. As usual with Kordes the new released roses are almost impenetrable to diseases and she's high up the ladder regarding her resistance against blackspot, mildew and rust. Very cold hardy zone 5b to 9b.
Blooms are old fashioned, full and cyclamen pink. They stand in small clusters. They have an unusual fragrance of frangipani and ylang Ylang and it's quite potent. Reblooming is very good and she can keep going well into October.
Rain, heat and shadow tolerant (semi shade)
A rose equipped with the tools to withstand the warming climate. Very recommended rose
