Floribunda Rose 'Gingersnap'

I love this rose so much! I have five of them. One doesn’t get much sun but still makes small, medium intensity orange flowers. The oth...Read Moreer four get full sun and knock my socks off! They start out a beautiful bright orange and then fade through a lighter orange to peach to cream. The petals never fall off.

It bushes quickly from a small plant into a bush type within the first season becoming very full if a bit small - maybe 2x2 - but easily reaches full height of 3-4 x 3-4 in the second season. For me it's been very disease resistant for an older rose in my dry hot sunny climate, but I do regularly use chemical pesticides, fungicides, and fertilizers on all my roses.

What a gorgeous & unique rose! Vibrant orange color, petite flowers, and a slight fragrance. Fragrance may become slightly more intense i...Read Moref you use horse manure in your mix like I do. I have noticed some color fading if the blooms are not shaded during at least part of the day. Overall it's a good specimen, and I am eagerly propagating it via cuttings. I will add pictures of my blooms when it begins to flower.
