Occhi di Fata
Floribunda Occhi di Fata by ROSE BARNI is one of those rare roses whose flowers change color under sunlight. The white semi-double flowers with a slightly pink edge magically turn into dark pink over time. The flowers, arranged in large clusters of up to forty or more, have a light fragrance. The compact and upright bush often exceeds the stated size under favorable conditions and in a favorable climate. The variety is characterized by rapid growth, abundant flowering, and good health. It can be used for flowerbeds, borders, and container planting to adorn terraces and balconies, and it also looks stunning in group plantings.
