Rosa Monica produces elongated straight shoots with dark green glossy foliage and a few thorns. The flowers are single, which makes them convenient for cutting and forming a bouquet.
Note! Rosa Santa Monica has nothing to do with Monica.
Although similar to the hybrid tea variety are the roses Santa Monica, Monica Bellucci, Golden Monica, which have something in common with varieties of floribund. So, the Belluccus variety Zhilyak differs in that its middle is as bright as that of the Monica variety, but the underside of the leaf is white.
