The Rosa floribunda 'Frida Kahlo', commonly known as the 'Frida Kahlo' floribunda rose, is a stunning variety that catches the eye with its vibrant contrast and continuous bloom. Its compact, dense bushy habit bears abundant clusters of intensely striped and splashed double golden-yellow flowers with vermillion red, each flower displaying a unique pattern. Slightly fragrant, they diffuse a sweet and fruity scent that attracts pollinating insects throughout the summer. Very free-flowering from the beginning of the season until the first frosts, this rose offers a remarkable visual impact in beds, borders, or as an edging plant. Its glossy dark green foliage highlights the vividness of the petals. The Rosa floribunda 'Frida Kahlo' brings boldness, color, and character to landscape designs.
