History of occurrence
The first roses, which appeared a greenish tint in the coloring of the petals, were bred in France. Such unusual varieties appeared in the last century. But the Limbo tea-hybrid rose variety was bred relatively recently.
In 1999, in Germany, breeder W. Cordes managed to achieve a stable greenish color of petals with a scalloped edge.What is the difference from the rest of the species?
The main distinguishing feature of the Limbo tea hybrid rose from the overwhelming majority of the other varieties of roses is its color. The most unusual shade that may be inherent in a flower is green. Breeders have long worked to obtain such a result - and this variety one of the brightest representatives of green varieties of roses.
Bloom

The first flowering occurs in the month of June and continues with a short break until October. Flowering at the bush is quite plentiful. Flowers are stable and last long in blooming state (do not fade for a long time). Such flower stability is observed under hot conditions, and during the onset of autumn.
Flowering occurs in two phases. Has a slight light, pleasant aroma with acidity. The specificity of the Limbo variety is that the flowers last extremely long, but do not sprinkle themselves, or sprinkle poorly. Therefore, to maintain an attractive appearance of the bush, it is necessary to pick off the blooming buds.
If suddenly the rose bush ceased to bloom, then one of the possible reasons must be eliminated:
- insufficient soil fertility;
- bush running wild;
- the need for proper care during the winter for the bush;
- rose bush may require pruning, that is, it must be rejuvenated.
