Frida Kahlo ®
Floribunda • cv. WEKcifrabaun • Pat.#29,878
As an emblematic artist of Mexico, world-acclaimed painter Frida Kahlo needs
no further introduction. She once said “I paint flowers so they will not die.”
Like the flowers she immortalized in her art, the rose Frida Kahlo is a lively
& colorful reminder of her enduring spirit. Just as Frida is one of the most
recognizable artists for her unique style, the scarlet red & gold striped flowers
of Frida Kahlo are also one of a kind in the rose world. The swirl of colors inten-
sifies as the flowers age, adding a red blush as the final touch. Like any painting
needs a good stand, the flowers are set in small clusters on a healthy disease
resistant plant with clean glossy leaves. If you are one of Frida’s followers or
simply a rose lover, join the Fridamania by adding a piece of art to your garden
with the striking vibrant rounded flowers produced abundantly on the compact
upright vigorous plants.

Mysterious, indescribable, elusive…whatever! There’s
just no other rose color quite like this. Pointed buds
of deep rust unfurl to reveal a chocolate haze of velvety
smoked tones that can even take on a purply cast.
Set against gobs of glossy foliage, the ruffled fragrant
flowers are mirrored by super-green leaves. Easy
vigor and natural disease-resistance make it a must 2003 Floribunda
