Rosa x floribunda Decorosier Calizia - Standard Rose

Rosa x floribunda Decorosier Calizia is a radiant, floriferous, and easy-to-grow variety of rose. It produces bouquets of small, semi-double flowers in warm tones that range from a deep salmon orange to pale orange, from late spring to the first frosts. This variety also offers very good disease resistance, and its foliage always remains impeccable. Give it a prominent place in the garden or even in a large pot on the patio, it will alone provide exceptional decoration for many years.

Stem roses are obtained by grafting a variety (here the Decoroza Cep Rose) onto a single, upright stem belonging to a different rose (Rosa canina, R. laxa, or R. multiflora), with the graft being done at the top. In very cold regions, it may be useful to protect the rootstock in winter.  Grafted onto a stem, it shows a characteristic habit, with a slender and vertical 'trunk' carrying a globular crown. Its thorny stems bear glossy, well-furnished foliage, divided into small, tough, and toothed leaflets of dark green colour. Its flowering is abundant and regular from May to October-November if it is regularly pruned and provided with water. The semi-double flowers are gathered in clusters of about ten units and are 5 cm (2in) wide. The tightly closed buds open into open cups, revealing a small heart of yellow stamens. The fragrance in this rose is absent. The plant will more or less keep its leaves in winter if the weather is not too harsh.

DECOROZA roses are bushy roses with a spreading habit. They can be used in many ways: as lawn borders, in flower beds, on slopes, or in containers. They can be grown in any soil, in sunny or semi-shady locations. They offer long and exceptional flowering on healthy, glossy, semi-evergreen foliage. Naturally resistant to diseases, they do not require treatment.

This Calizia Rose is a magnificent specimen, to be placed in the centre of a bed of delicate perennials, along a pathway, near the patio, in isolation in a well-kept small garden, or in a large pot on the balcony. Its orange colour pairs well with yellow, white, or blue flowers. For example, it can be planted in the centre of a bed of groundcover roses, alongside catmints, chamomiles, perennial salvias, foxgloves, cornflowers, or baby's breath. A groundcover composed of silver baskets, lady's mantle, or aubrietas will perfectly showcase it.
