Gina Lollobrigida Potted Tree Rose

Rosa ‘Gina Lollobrigida’ Gina Lollobrigida

Gina Lollobrigida™ is a hybrid tea rose introduced in the U.S. by Meilland International / Star Roses in 1989. Its striking golden-yellow blooms are high-centered, very full, and long-lasting, typically measuring 4–5″ across with 30–40 petals. The plant repeats in flushes from spring through fall, backed by glossy foliage and a light, sweet fragrance. With an upright, vigorous habit (4–5 ft tall), it also performs well as a cutting rose.
