Rosa x floribunda Fizzy Lady

The 'Fizzy Lady' Rose is an unusual, fragrant cluster-flowered rose that stands out in the garden. This bush produces bouquets of double, turbinate flowers, completely and randomly flamed from pink to raspberry red on a white background. It blooms abundantly throughout the summer and is adorned with dark green foliage that is highly resistant to diseases. Resilient against bad weather, it is an original rose that smells of citrus and spices. It can be prominently displayed in the garden, near the terrace, or in a large pot on the balcony.

The 'Fizzy Lady' Rose is a recent introduction from Sunflor, which offers Roses created by Week’s Roses, the leading breeder in the USA, and Interplant, the leading breeder in the Netherlands. This 'Fizzy Lady' variety was obtained in 2019 by Christian Bédard in the United States. The plant forms a upright bush with thorny stems in a few years, measuring 90 cm (35in) in height and 50-60 cm (20-24in) in width, adorned with very healthy, dark green foliage. It blooms abundantly from June to October. Its wide corollas, measuring 7-8 cm (3in), are very double, turbinate, and gathered in bouquets of 5 to 7 flowers. The tightly closed buds open into round, slightly flattened cups with splashes of red, pink, and white petals, with the colours varying from one flower to another. Their fragrance is pronounced, especially in hot and calm weather.

Floribunda roses can be used to create beautiful small hedges, planted mixed along the edge of the terrace or in small shrub beds. Combine them with abelias, nandinas, or caryopteris, for example. They are also good companions for paniculate phlox and catmints. The medium size and resistance of 'Fizzy Lady' make it an interesting variety for all gardens, even small ones, as well as for growing in large pots. Its uses are versatile, depending on the desires of each gardener: in a monochrome rose bed or alongside white varieties ('Marie Pavie', 'Swanny'). It pairs well with light and easy-to-grow plants such as perennial geraniums or asters. And its roses are beautiful in bouquets.
