    Hello again,

    Whilst translating I found this
    • "Modern bouquet roses with large, semi-blooming scented flowers" (I'm translating a brochure on roses). What is this "semi blooming"? Could you please explain? I've googled it but with no chance, unfortunately.
    • Large-flowering roses> abundant or with big flowers?:please:
    • "All our roses are produced as container roses on their own root - just with one cutting" (?)

    Thanks for your help (if I can help with something Italian feel free to ask :ThankYou: )

    Francesca

      Hi I have been tagged:heehee:

      Thank you Zigs and chow Francesca:)

      1.I have only heard of the a semi-double rose bloom,but to my mind semi bloom would have very loose petals of about 5-16 in number just my opinion of course.

      2.Abundant (many blooms)or large blooms (less blooms but larger
      in size)

      3.Roses grown on their own root and not grafted on to another rose
      Roses are grafted to allow large numbers of plants to be propagated from a small amount of starting material, since every bud can produce a new bush. All that’s required is a rootstock, which can be propagated in unlimited numbers from seed or cuttings. In other words, grafting is for the rose grower’s convenience, not yours. Roses grow quite happily on their own roots, and they are usually more vigorous and longer-lived than grafted roses. Nor will you spend your time digging up unwanted suckers from the rootstock.

      Hope this is of some help to you:)

            Hello Giardinieri,

            here I am again to pester with my questions. But translations must be precise, so I need your precious help (once again).

            Sentence:
            Our indoor roses are now also characterised by [...] sumptuous flowers, but ‘on the top’ of the plant.
            > question: are flowers ONLY on top then?
            :ThankYou:
