The Gallica rose Cosimo Ridolfi has settled in slowly but surely over 5 years with me and has now reached its final height of about 1 m. The bush has lovely, deep green, healthy foliage and arching branches with few thorns. The flowers are medium-sized, flat and fully double, cherry pink, turning violet as they fade, which sometimes appears blue. The fragrance is intense. A rarer but good, small, uncomplicated rose for Gallica lovers. Thanks to its small size it is easy to use anywhere.Automatically translated · Show original
