'Marina ®' rose Reviews & Comments

Is "Fuegro Negro" spelled correctly? I can't find a translation for "fuegro" anywhere but "fuego" gives me "fire." That would make sense, given the color of the rose. Any way I can get a response so that I can correct some of my own records?

We have you listed as an anonymous member - what do you mean by your own records ?

The HMF default listed me as an anonymous member -- and I'm not a member. I just clicked on the email link -- and didn't really intend to post anything. My own records are lists I recently used in saving some greenhouse roses from a site where the abandoned florists nursery is being demolished. I was working with the city of Richmond on the project and trying to ID the roses we were collecting. One of the old nursery lists I was working with had a rose called "Fuegro Negro" on it -- I looked it up on HMF to see if any of the roses I was finding at the old site matched. Indeed, one did. I was curious about the meaning of the name and tried a couple of online translators to find out. They didn't return results for "fuegro" but offered "fuego" as an alternative. Seeing that it is a "black" rose, that name made more sense -- "Black Fire." However, I see that apparently Meilland uses the word "fuegro" so I'm still curious about what the name of the rose means and whether it's listed correctly on HMF. Do I have to be a member to find out? You can contact me by email if you want to know my "identity."

Can this rose be grown in a container?

Marina is a nice rose with a strong fragrance and also has good disease resistance. It grows in an upright fashion to about 2 1/2 feet tall so should be fine for a container.

Of course this rose may be grown in a container. It is a nice small size. I have even larger roses growing in VERY large pots and 1/2 barrels. The main thing is to remember to water because containers can dry out very quickly. I happen to be checking on this rose because I have a niece with the same name, who is in the hospital and my tradition is to gift a living plant as "get well" gifts. This looks just perfect.
