Hermosa - China Rose

Creator: Marchesseau, France, 1834
Flowers: 6 cm
Height: 80 cm

The buds of this delicate rose are wide but elegant and its flowers are quite fragrant, displaying folded flowers, of a good shape and of a soft pink with shades of purple, appearing without interruption throughout the year, in groups of three to seven.
Marchesseau gave it the name of Hermosa, which means "beauty" in Greek. And from my point of view it was right. The plant has a good size, is compact and ideal as a rose or a flower bed border
The leaves are fragile and of a light green. Unfortunately, when the weather is damp, this rose is very susceptible to mildew and black spot thus requires appropriate treatment. Nonetheless, we should not allow this characteristic to inhibit its cultivation, once that this is a large category rose to rival the so many others roses in the market.
