rosin for velvet garbo

[tito mangialajo]

hi everyone,
can you suggest me a rosin to playing Velvet Garbo with a german bow?
I know that Garbo are hard to bow, but I obtain a decent sound with Nyman-Harts; maybe some rosins are better.
I live in North Italy, south to Milan: hot and humid in summer, cold and humid in winter: horrible climate!

I've used pops on them, but I think Nyman (or Carlsson. Yeah, go Sweden!) would be the best for Garbos.
I think Rufus Reid uses Kolstein Rosin on his Animas.

Do not apply too much pressure on the bow as this will choke the string, especially the G. In my experience, this will make it easier to bow Garbos, but if you consider arco playing as an important part of your playing, I believe you should start look for another string.
