CAFFE LATTE™ – light brown hybrid tea rose - De Ruiter
If You would like something truly special that still behaves like an easy garden rose, CAFFE LATTE™ is a tall, upright hybrid tea with unusual colour and a strong vanilla fragrance, grown in a handy 2‑litre pot so You can simply plant it, water it and let it settle. Its warm mocha, caramel and beige shades look refined in Irish front gardens and cottage borders, while its long, straight stems make it perfect for cutting a few blooms for the kitchen table. As an own‑root plant it matures steadily for a long, reliable lifespan, coping well with our damp, breezy weather and the kind of humidity that can challenge fussier roses. In year one it focuses on roots, year two on strong new shoots, and by year three it shows its full ornamental value with generous, repeat flushes. With moderate care – mainly watering in dry spells and light pruning – this rose rewards You with season‑long flowers and a distinctive look that stays elegant without complicated gardening routines.

Long‑term structural rose in a mixed planting
The own‑root shrub adapts to local soil over time, rebuilding from its base if ever cut back, so it fits long‑lived mixed borders where You want plants to mature gracefully rather than be replaced often, ideal for thoughtful planners

Pollinator Attraction:
The flowers are double (26–39 petals); this flower form obscures and restricts access to the stamens, making the variety of low attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers make it unattractive to pollinators, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited; it is 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.
