Which variety am I growing?

Posted by meowbaby 9 (My Page) on

Does anybody know if the names for rose varieties are the same in Italian as in English?? I'm a beginning gardener living in Tuscany and have only a small understanding of the Italian language(though I am slowly learning more!). However, my landlord has given me 7 roses to tend to and I know I could be a lot more effective if I knew what varieties I'm looking after. I have 2 miniatures, 2 bush or dwarf(not entirely sure), and two of what I first thought were bush roses but are in fact climbers. Anyways, any help would be most appreciated. This forum is a great resource for sharing and learning, and I look forward to doing both. Grazie e ciao,

RE: Which variety am I growing?

I don't know much about italian names for roses, but I know , for exemple, that 'Mutabilis' is called 'Tipo Ideale' in Italy, and there's certainly other roses that have got an italian name.

If you know the italian names of your roses, it would be easier for us to help you. Or if you could take pictures of them and tell us a bit more about them, colour, flowering periode, scent, etc...
