Sevillian rose bush (Rosa 'La Sevillana')

Rose bush lover? I understand you! I know what it is to walk, for example in the nursery, and see a lot of beautiful and cheerful roses. Years ago my mother marked out a path with some specimens with different colored flowers, and it was a joy to be there, contemplating them. Although there was one in particular that you couldn't stop looking at: the Sevillian rosebush.

Although it is a shrub with more or less erect branches, it can be planted in large pots and kept as a pendant, which makes it look very, very pretty. But, How do you take care of yourself? If you want to know, then I'll tell you 🙂.

Origin and characteristics

The Sevillian rose bush, whose scientific name is Rosa 'La Sevillana', is a modern rose that belongs to the Floribunda group created in France in 1978 by the French rose artist Marie-Louise Meilland. It comes from the crossing of seeds (Melbrim x Jolie Madame x Zambra x Zambra) and pollen (Tropicana x Tropicana) x Poppy Flash x Rusticana).

It has an upright bearing, and reaches between 60 and 120cm tall by about 150cm wide. The leaves are dark green and shiny. The flowers, which appear in spring and summer, measure about 5cm, and have 9-16 orange or orange-red petals. These are fragrant.

It is one of the rose bushes that produces the most roses, but the most.
