COSMOPOLITAN™ – pink hybrid tea rose – SIMgrid
If You dream of a neat, romantic front garden without complicated gardening, COSMOPOLITAN™ helps You keep things beautifully simple. This upright hybrid tea forms an elegant, compact bush that fits perfectly into average family beds and borders, giving classic, long-stemmed blooms for cutting. Its porcelain-pink flowers with raspberry-edged petals appear repeatedly through the season, offering reliably generous flowering if You give it a sunny spot and regular moisture. Strong, fruity fragrance adds a touch of luxury You can enjoy outdoors or in a vase, while its proven disease resistance means less spraying and more time to relax. As an own-root plant it builds a stable, long-lived structure, regenerates well after pruning and settles into your soil and care routine over time. In year one it mainly deepens its roots, in year two it gains height and side shoots, and by year three it reaches full ornamental value, coping comfortably with Ireland’s frequent rain and heavy soils if basic drainage is provided.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
COSMOPOLITAN™ – pink tea-hybrid rose - Simpson
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Colour Fading Description:
During opening, the pink ground colour moderately fades; the intensity of the edge decreases, becoming a powder-pink before the bloom fades.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39 petals) — likely to attract pollinators poorly, as the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit insect visitation.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Double (26–39 petals) flowers partially conceal the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited — primarily an ornamental variety.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
According to the descriptions, it flowers even in warm conditions but weakens under prolonged drought; regular watering is required.

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.
