What?
This time we are testing the rose ‘i2i’ in our flower test, this is a new variety of Bloomingdale Roses.
Information:
- Name: i2i
- Colour: Cerise / Purple
- Grower: Bloomingdale Roses
- Country: Kenya
- Length: 70cm
First Impression:
This is a complete new variety, the colour is pink on the inside and a little bit more purple/cerise on the outside.
The bud feels hard and they have a lot of thorns.
At first sight it’s a beautiful rose but I would be surprised when they open up.
After 7 days:
It’s a beautiful and strong rose but just a few opened up, the rest just stay the way I bought them as you can see in the picture. (The rose on the right stayed completely closed)
After 10 days:
They are still there but it doesn’t look like they’re going to change a lot more, I think they are asleep.
Conclusion:
It’s a beautiful rose and I would say they’re just ok.
It’s not really an eyecatcher, they won’t open up very easy and they have a lot of thorns.
But the colour is nice and althought there are just a few in a bunch which will change during the week they will last 7-10 days.
Positive Points:
- Beautiful bright colour
- Strong rose
- Their vaselife is just fine with 7-10 days
Negative Points
- Not a real special rose or an eyecatcher
- A lot of thorns
- 40% didn’t open up
