http://www.fwxflowers.co.uk/rose/c3268-1...





the site says between 1 and 6 inches. but thats what they say of ALL the roses...





so whats the average size black baccara?


Otherwise, i want a deep scarlet rose that is a "good" size, any ideas? is a passion rose really that scarlet? thats what i was recommended but i am not sure from the pictures they just look average red to me?

Do you mean the size of the bloom or the shrub? The site would be talking about the size of the bloom, closed about 1-2 inches, fully open 5-6 inches. This would be true of most Floribunda species roses.


The size of the rose bush will vary according to how much you prune it. Let go and a rose will grow up the three meters and beyond. Best keep it pruned to under a meter.


Every winter after they loose their leaves, prune back hard and open up the plant (take out branches that cross over, turn inwards etc). This will stimulate lots of new growth come spring and lots of flowers.


I cant suggest a particular variety as there are thousands and one thats available down here may not be a common type there. I have grown Black Baccara before and it is a beautiful rose.
