BARONIET ROSENDAL™ – cream-coloured bedding shrub rose
If You love romantic roses but prefer easy care, BARONIET ROSENDAL™ fits beautifully into everyday Irish gardens. Its upright, compact habit stays neat in smaller beds and front gardens, while the large, cup-shaped blooms bring a quietly elegant presence from early summer onwards. Creamy flowers with a buttery-yellow centre fade gently to ivory, giving a soft, cottage-style look that feels relaxed rather than formal. A strong, characterful fragrance adds a luxury touch each time You pass by the path or patio door. As an own-root plant it settles in for a long, stable life, steadily building a resilient framework so the rose remains reliable year after year, even in areas where persistent rain and heavy soil mean You need planting that copes well with humidity and fungal pressure. In the first year it concentrates on roots, the second on bushy growth, and by the third year You can expect its full ornamental value.
