Rosa 'Frida Kahlo'

Frida Kahlo Floribunda Rose

Rosa 'Frida Kahlo' is a floribunda shrub rose that showcases brilliantly striped blooms blending scarlet red, warm yellow, and bold gold. The medium- to large-sized flowers emerge in small, decorative clusters from late spring through fall, producing a gentle tea-fruity fragrance that enhances both garden and vase. Glossy deep green foliage provides a sleek backdrop for this continual floral display, and the petals often develop a red blush as they age, adding visual depth.

Planting & care

Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Floribundas bloom in generous clusters, and light shaping keeps the framework rounded and full.
