Florentina is such a great rose, I sprouted a couple seedlings. This is the first to bloom. It is more coral colored, blooms in terminal clusters like the parent. August 9, 2025, Zone 7a, Provo, Utah, USA

If this is a OP seedling it should be listed separately. Nice!

Thanks! I thought it had to be registered or something? Anyway, if not cool! I will see about doing that.

No, it doesn't have to be registered.

You can call it what you wish and should be recorded as a new listing.

Within limits. It would be prudent to check that the name you have in mind isn't already in use. It annoys me that some of the big firms re-use names (cheaper to register them that way?), and declare a rose extinct - even when it's still around - so they can use its name.

Understood. I too get super annoyed when they recycle names!

Nice to have a red climber that does well in SF.

I'm in the Oakland hills where we get quite a bit of fog at night that settles here. I've got a spot that gets about 6 hrs sun in the AM, and shade in the PM. Based on your experience, do you think Florentina would do well? Thanks so much.

Hi!
Yes it should do just fine. No more blackspot than any other healthy roses in our climate.

Thank you for your reply! One more question: how’s repeat blooming for you? The description here says occasional repeat later in the summer but bloom frequency is rated ‘excellent’ by reviewers… Thanks again!

It’s budding now, then more blooms in July and September usually
