A Striking Floribunda

On my last trip to the local Rose Garden, I discovered a remarkable rose.
It looked as if some naughty artist took a palette and added pink brushstrokes to a white rose. In addition to its distinctive beautiful coloring, the rose had the most fantastic fragrance. Being intrigued by this rose, I wanted to know its name. And what a special name it has – Julio Iglesias!




I love Julio Iglesias’ romantic songs especially the ones in Spanish. There is so much passion and ardor in his voice. His love songs are full of drama and affection. And now I love his rose!
From the little research that I made, I found that it was bred in France in 2006. What beautiful tribute to a great singer.




Well, now I must have Julio Iglesias in my garden.

Today, I'm linking to Outdoor Wednesday at A Southern Daydreamer. Please, come and see other bloggers' outdoor adventures.

Dearest Olga,

That is so special for bringing back sweet memories from Europe... Especially his song: "Un Canto A Galicia". That single sold 1 million copies in Germany!
Thanks for sharing him and his BEAUTIFUL rose with us!!!

Sunny greetings from Georgia

What a pretty rose! Thanks for sharing!
Possibly Julio Iglesias lyrics are full of passion, because life is too.
Did you know that he has 7 children?
3 with his first wife and 4 present, but between one and another his life has been full of love and beautiful women.
I really like him because always has Spain in the heart, no matter where in the world he is.
Love from Spain.

Mercy, it is striking with the two colors. I wonder if it is easy to grow? I lost a climber to disease this week and am getting picky about difficult roses. hugs♥olive
