Large-Flowered Rose 'Gallivarda' ®
The large-flowered rose ‘Gallivarda’ (Rosa) is a marvelous flower. ‘Gallivarda’ has magnificently shaped flowers in a bright, cheerful colour. ‘Gallivarda’ is very effective planted in large groups. This rose is excellent for cutting and is also very suitable for bouquets.
You receive the large flowered rose ‘Gallivarda’ from us with bare roots. Soak the roots overnight in a bucket of lukewarm water. Prepare a large planting hole, loosen the soil and improve it with compost and granulated cow manure. Spread the roots of the rose, and place the bush at the correct depth. This means that the frost sensitive graft union (the thickening where the branches form) should be about 5 cm beneath the soil. Fill the planting hole with the improved soil, press firmly with your foot and water generously. The best planting time for bare rooted roses is October, pot grown roses can be planted all year round.
Rosa ‘Galivarda’ in the garden borderThis large-flowered rose is a great cut flower, but Rosa ‘Gallivarda’ is also beautiful in the garden border. The white-orange-red colours are marvelous for combining with other roses or with lavender. When planting in the border, always plant three bushes together.
Rosa ‘Gallivarda’ is a rose bush with very large multi-coloured flowers. The inside of the petals is orange-red, over time they will turn slightly pink. On the outside, the white rose petals at the base are often yellow. The flowers are full and have a very beautiful shape. They stand on strong stems above healthy, dark green leaves.
Rosa ‘Gallivarda’ needs a lot of food for an abundance of flowers, therefore it is important to fertilize regularly. In winter put granulated cow manure around the base of the bush. Early spring apply a mixed organic fertilizer or bone meal and in July use a special rose fertilizer. Look on the package for the correct dosage.
Pruning Rosa ‘Gallivarda’.Rosa ‘Gallivarda’ should be pruned every spring. This is actually very simple: in March prune the branches back to within 3 to 5 eyes (buds). Leave about five big branches per bush. The roses you receive from us have already been pruned, so you do not have to prune for another eighteen months. In the summer remove any ‘wild shoots’ that can grow from the trunk or the roots. You can identify a wild shoot by the many thorns and the seven small leaves (leaflets).
