More information
This variegated rose, bred in Denmark, is widely grown in the USA under the name Berries’n’Cream. Calypso carries trusses of small, semi-double blooms whose coloration resembles the pattern of the Gallica rose Versicolor: a mix of crimson and white, with stripes and speckles across the flower. In hot weather the blooms are redder; in cold weather they are whiter. The coloration also varies with growing conditions. In hot climates it reaches up to 4 m, in cold climates about 2 m. Petals are wavy; clusters of 5–15 flowers form on long shoots, and hips may follow. The foliage is dark green, glossy, disease-resistant, with few thorns. With good care it blooms almost continuously.
One of the recent striped rose varieties. Large trusses of medium-sized flowers (5–6 cm), semi-double, lightly fragrant, crimson with pink stripes. The foliage is large, and the shrub reaches 3–4 m. The variety is vigorous, almost thornless, and blooms abundantly. The flowers are damaged by rain.
