This
is another of the Miniature Moss roses bred by Ralph Moore, of California.
'Rose Gilardi' is compact and well, branched, blooming profusely
throughout the season. There is little fragrance from the bloom, but
the mossy buds are balsam scented when rubbed. Blooms are frequently
produced in clusters of 3 or more, but sometimes appear singly as well.
The individual blooms are 1.5 to 2 inches across, and open fully to
display bright stamens. There are not a lot of petals, so this is not
a show variety......buds open fully quite quickly. The beauty of this
variety is in the fully open bloom, which displays the striping wonderfully!
