Common name

Family
Rosaceae

Rosa ‘Gingersnap’, a floribunda rose with warm, changing colors, is distinguished by its double burnt-orange flowers nuanced with copper and cinnamon, whose hue subtly evolves as they bloom. Produced in abundant clusters, they create a bright and dynamic mass effect particularly appreciated in flowerbeds. The slightly wavy petals highlight a moderate, sweet, and spicy fragrance, which adds a discreet but pleasant sensory dimension. Its bushy, compact, and well-branched habit ensures a beautiful dense structure ideal for group plantings or sunny borders. Its vigorous and healthy dark green foliage contributes to good overall resistance and enhances the richness of its color. Rosa ‘Gingersnap’ brings warmth, depth, and floral constancy to the garden while actively attracting pollinating insects.
