The tea-hybrid rose Interflora, bred in France in 1968 by the breeder Meilland, is an elegant perennial plant with a compact bush reaching 80 to 90 cm in height. The bushes have upright and sturdy stems, and the leaves are leathery, glossy, dark green with a bluish tint, creating a striking contrast with the bright blooms. The flowers are large, about 10 cm in diameter, double-flowered, with 40-60 petals, colored coral-orange, which gradually lighten over time to take on a salmon-pink hue.
The Interflora rose blooms in mid-June and continues until October with two waves: the first lasts about 25-28 days, then after a short period of rest, the second wave begins and lasts until frost. The flowers may be single or clustered in groups of 11-18 blooms, ensuring abundant and prolonged flowering. The rose has a soft, pleasant fragrance, which complements its decorative qualities.
Interflora is suitable for creating borders, flower beds, diverse flower arrangements, and decorative compositions, and is widely used for cut flowers. The rose is frost-tolerant but sensitive to moisture and may be susceptible to fungal diseases, requiring careful care. Due to its beauty and versatility, it harmonizes well with other plants in the garden, creating vibrant and expressive ensembles.
