GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA ® – golden yellow hybrid tea rose – Meilland
Bring a touch of red‑carpet glamour to Your garden with Gina Lollobrigida – a golden‑yellow hybrid tea that combines exhibition‑worthy blooms with reassuring reliability. Large, very full, cup‑shaped flowers in a rich, lasting golden shade appear repeatedly from summer into autumn, holding their colour beautifully even in changeable Irish weather. Each bloom is strongly fragrant, with a fresh, citrusy note that makes it ideal both for the vase and for enjoying on the patio. Grown on its own roots in a 2‑litre pot, this rose settles in steadily, building a long‑lived, well‑balanced bush that copes well with our humid, cool summers and occasional downpours. Given a sunny spot and basic care, it rewards You with upright, elegant growth and consistently high quality blooms for cutting and display. In its first year it focuses on roots, in the second on stronger shoots, and by the third it delivers its full ornamental value as a standout feature in beds, front gardens and containers.

Parameter
Data

Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland in France in 1986 from ‘Laura’ × ‘Parador’®, introduced after 1990 by Meilland International and Star Roses, continuing the Meilland tradition of elegant, exhibition-quality hybrid teas.
Growth and structure
Upright, medium-tall bush reaching about 110–150 cm in height and 75–105 cm in spread, with moderately dense, slightly glossy mid‑green foliage and moderate prickliness; forms a neat, vertical accent in beds.
Flower morphology
Very full, 40+ petalled, XL-sized cup-shaped blooms with a pronounced medium rise, usually borne singly on stems; remontant with an abundant second flush, providing classic hybrid tea flowers for cutting and display.
Colour and phenology
Warm golden-yellow blooms with long-lasting vibrancy; outer petals paler yellow, inner petals more intense; colour fades only moderately yet remains clean yellow without pink or brown tones from bud to fall of petal.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, fresh, well-scented fragrance with clear citrusy notes, best appreciated at close range near paths or seating; ideal for those who value both visual effect and a noticeable scent in cut and garden flowers.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose hips form sparsely due to the very double flowers, but when present they are small, 10–14 mm, ellipsoid and orange-red, adding a modest decorative touch late in the season without significant seeding.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −15 to −12 °C (RHS H6, Swedish zone 2, USDA 7b); good resistance to black spot with moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and rust; benefits from regular watering in dry spells and basic preventative care.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions; spacing 65 cm in mass plantings, 55 cm for hedging, around 100 cm as a specimen; suitable for beds, cut-flower rows and large containers, with moderate maintenance and occasional deadheading advised.
GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA ® offers long-lasting golden blooms, strong citrus fragrance and dependable, own-root longevity in family gardens; consider it if You would like a stylish yet manageable hybrid tea rose.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
GINA LOLLOBRIGIDA ® – golden yellow hybrid tea rose - Meilland
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Self-Cleaning Description:
According to the descriptions, spent blooms tend to remain on the plant, so subsequent cleaning (deadheading) is recommended.
Flower Colour:
Warm, full golden-yellow shade with long-lasting vibrancy.
Closed Bud:
Externally deep yellow-green to gold, internally a clear golden-yellow tone.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Vibrant, radiant golden-yellow petals with a subtle lemon-yellow sheen.
Full Bloom:
Uniform, intense golden-yellow surface, with a paler yellow reverse on the outer petals.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The colour fades but remains yellow, without any pinkish or browning tones.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the intense golden-yellow only moderately fades; it remains yellow until the end of flowering, without pinkish or brownish tones.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its highly double (fully double) flower form makes it only weakly attractive to pollinators because the crowded petals obscure and restrict access to the stamens.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers enclose the stamens, making it primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be sparse due to the double flowers; occasionally producing orange‑red, ellipsoidal rose hips 10–14 mm in diameter.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
