BUFF BEAUTY – apricot park rose - Bentall
If You would like a romantic shrub rose that simply fits into Your everyday garden life, BUFF BEAUTY is a softly coloured, strongly scented classic that settles in without fuss. Its bushy habit with arching branches gives natural, cottage charm for front gardens and mixed borders, while the warm apricot tones stay glowing even in our changeable summers and frequent rain. As an own‑root plant in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot, it arrives well established, ready to grow on in Irish soils from heavy clays to freer‑draining beds. In year one it concentrates on roots, year two brings top growth and more blooms, and by year three You can enjoy its full ornamental value with a stable, long‑lived shrub that copes reliably with our humid weather. The clusters of very double flowers refresh themselves well, so tidying is minimal, while the rich, long‑lasting fragrance makes every flush a pleasure near paths, terraces or a favourite seat. With medium maintenance needs and good heat tolerance it remains manageable for beginners, yet rewarding for experienced gardeners choosing a trusted, award‑winning classic. Use it as a mellow, flowering screen along boundaries or as a specimen near the front door, where its colour and scent quietly lift the whole garden mood.

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.
