'Charisma' rose Reviews & Comments

|
I have a rose that I have narrowed down to Charisma, Rumba, or Tequila. It is 4-5' tall, has very 'happy' golden yellow buds that open to orange, red, and cherry. I believe it is a floribunda, it is always in bloom, sometimes very prolifically, it attracts attention, doesn't set hips well, has large sized medium matte green leaves, was labeled as Just Joey, spent it's first 3 yrs. in a pot next to the pool, got planted out this past spring, grew vigorously to 5', takes heat very well, does not always like to shed it's old petals, but is virtually fool proof to grow. But I don't know what it's name is and haven't seen it around. I think I saw someone's misidentified photo of Tequila on another site that led me to believe it was Tequila. I can post a photo.

This also resembles the short climber: PINATA ~ I , too, am trying to identify a rose very similar to this, currently growing on the Pacific Coast in HalfMoonBay CA. It blooms in clusters, until December 20th! It is thorny, full, & reaches about 6 ft; it tolerates shade & partial Sun: the coastal climate.

Unregistered guest: I did come to the conclusion that this was perhaps Pinata. Mine does not exceed 5-6', kind of like an Olympiad or About Face in growth habit, but not as tall as Queen E or Mr. Lincoln. But the flowers sure fit. Since I planted it out I have come across the same variety twice, and each time it was unlabled or the lable had been removed. It has lots of small prickles, along with a few larger ones.

Charisma is a blooming fool...never without at least some and usually covered with colour for me all season. A very happy looking and cheerful plant. Yes, it does blackspot, but is vigorous and keeps going and growing, and with all those cheerful hues, I can ignore it.

Hi, I just purchased climbing form of Charisma, but because I purchased it at Home Depot the tag it comes with only said...Rosa Cl. Charisma. No other information was given. Does anyone have any info? This site doesn't have any and I can't find anything anywhere on the net. I feel so alone :( please help! I can't be the only one who owns this rose. I purchased the only one that Home Depot had. Thanks! Lisa
PS. I'm new to roses and new to this site so please bear with me.

Charisma is a very double bright red Floribunda. It should make a beautiful climber. Plant it in a large hole with a cup of bonemeal mixed in with the soil. Then keep the soil damp but not wet. Finally place a thick mulch of anything you can get in your area around the base, as roses love cool feet, and enjoy!

I see you posted your question two years ago. I assume you feel less alone than you did then. I was new to roses when I planted Charisma in Tucson. I'm still alone, but I can share my experience. I have six bushes. The only care I provide is water in the summer. The flowers are far from spectacular, but all have survived nicely.
