Rosa Girandola

The Girandola Rose is a beautifully coloured rose created by Barni for bouquet lovers. It is a vigorous bush with healthy foliage, producing large double turbinate flowers, changing in shades of orange and pink. Its long and sturdy stems are almost devoid of thorns, and it blooms throughout the summer in successive waves.

The Girandola 'Bargira' Rose is a variety with strong growth, forming in a few years a well-erected bush, with slightly thorny stems, reaching 90cm (35in) in height and 60cm (24in) in width, adorned with very healthy, shiny dark green foliage. Its flowering is renewed from June to October. Its 9cm (4in) wide roses are double, solitary, carried by long thick stems. The well-closed buds, orange in colour, open into turbinate roses. The petals show an orange colour at first, gradually turning into dark pink from the edge of the petals, with the pink spreading to the heart of the corolla and becoming pastel. Their scent is light. The deciduous foliage falls in autumn.

The bush roses with large flowers allow for beautiful beds, planted in groups or mixed in small shrub beds. Combine them with Weigelas and dwarf Abelias, Caryopteris, and peonies for example. They are good companions for phlox and tall Gypsophila. The modest size and resistance of Girandola makes it an interesting variety for all gardens, even small ones and for cultivation in large pots. Its use is versatile, according to the desires of each gardener: in a monochrome rose bed or in the company of white varieties, red or purple ones. It pairs well with light and easy-to-grow plants such as perennial geraniums (Geranium 'Blue Cloud', 'Anne Folkard', 'Nimbus', 'Orion'), bellflowers (lactiflora, rapunculoides), catmints, cornflowers, foxgloves, phlox... Its flowers can be used to create elegant bouquets that will enhance the home.
