ALTESSE™ 75 – white-pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
If You enjoy classic, elegant roses, ALTESSE™ 75 offers an easy way to add a touch of quiet majesty to a family garden without complicated care. Its upright, well-behaved habit fits beautifully into smaller Irish borders and front gardens, while the creamy-white blooms edged with raspberry-pink lend a romantic, cottage-style accent that stands out from a distance. The flowers appear repeatedly through the season, with an abundant second flush for long-lasting colour in changeable summers and in areas where prolonged humidity can challenge fussier varieties. Medium disease resistance and reliable hardiness give You a long-lived planting that will settle in and mature gracefully. As an own-root rose in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre range, it is already well rooted, so You can simply plant, water and allow it to build strong growth in year one, fuller shoots in year two and its complete ornamental potential by year three.
Dense, glossy dark green foliage on Altesse™ 75.

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
ALTESSE™ 75 is a hybrid tea rose from the Meilland range, traded as a white-pink hybrid tea rose; registered cultivar name not specified and formerly marketed as Anticipation in the USA.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Marie-Louise Meilland in France from unnamed seedlings; breeding completed in 1975 and introduced in 1990 by Meilland International and Co-Operative Rose Growers, primarily for the cut-flower and garden market.
Growth and structure
Vigorous, upright bushes reaching about 100–130 cm in height with a 60–85 cm spread; densely branched with dark green, glossy foliage and noticeable prickliness, forming a neat, vertical presence in beds and borders.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double, cup to chalice-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals; usually borne singly on stems in classic hybrid tea fashion, with remontant flowering and an especially abundant second flush in season.
Colour and phenology
Blooms have a creamy white centre and vivid pink to carmine edges, softening to salmon-rosy tones as they open; good colour retention and strong contrast at full bloom provide a striking, refined appearance in the garden.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, delicately rose-scented fragrance, noticeable at close range but not overpowering; primarily selected as an ornamental variety rather than a highly scented rose, suitable where subtle perfume is preferred.
Rose hip characteristics
Occasionally forms small, ovoid hips around 10–14 mm in diameter; orange-red in colour and generally sparse, so hips do not strongly influence the plant’s ornamental effect or maintenance needs.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately -15 to -12 °C (H6, USDA 7b, Swedish zone 2); medium overall disease resistance with good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, and moderate susceptibility to rust under high-pressure conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers a sunny position with well-drained soil; plant at 40–75 cm spacing depending on use, allowing 4.2–4.8 plants/m² for mass plantings; maintenance is medium, with occasional pest and disease checks advised.
ALTESSE™ 75 offers elegant repeat-flowering blooms, a compact upright habit and long-term stability as an own-root rose, making it a dependable, low-fuss choice for your garden that You can consider with confidence.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its large, double flowers make it less attractive to pollinators, as the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit insects' access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers restrict access to the stamens, making it primarily ornamental.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
