More information
More than 40 years after its introduction, Nina Weibull remains widely grown among red floribundas in Scandinavia. It is distributed from Finland to Iceland and is noted for winter hardiness and resistance to diseases. It is virtually unknown in North America, including colder regions. The flowers are bright, dark red, and do not burn out. They usually appear in clusters of 3–10, sometimes in large bouquets of up to 30. Resistant to rain; flowering is almost continuous until the first frost. The foliage is dark and shiny, the shoots carry large thorns, and the bush is large and branched. The plant does not grow tall, allowing uniform-height mass plantings: the whole plant blooms at the same height.
The dark red flowers of Nina Weibull hardly burn out. The blooms are double, with an informal shape. They appear in small clusters of 3–5. The foliage is dark green, and the bush is compact and low. It usually blooms freely and shows resistance to diseases. Used for mass planting in gardens.
