CRAZY MAYA ® – red-cream-coloured bedding polyantha rose - Adam
If You enjoy colour and a touch of fun at the front of Your home, Crazy Maya brings a lively swirl of cherry-red and cream striping that instantly catches the eye while staying compact and tidy in small Irish gardens. This polyantha bedding rose flowers in generous clusters, so even a short row or a group of three plants delivers strong visual impact from early summer onwards. Its dense, glossy foliage builds a low, structured border edge without fussy pruning, and the moderate disease tolerance copes well when summer humidity encourages fungal problems in typical Irish weather. As an own-root shrub in a 2-litre pot, it settles in reliably, forming a neat bush that You can enjoy for many years with simple care. In a 40–50 litre container or a small bed, it gradually develops—first strengthening its roots, then building shoots, and by the third season giving its full ornamental value—so You can plant it with confidence and let it quietly get on with the job of looking good.
Freshly opened Crazy Maya rose flower with vivid red petals and cream banding.
Crazy Maya ® shows cupped, double flowers in clusters.

As the flower opens the red ground colour first darkens slightly, then before full bloom it mutes to claret, while the cream-coloured bands fade to ivory.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39 petals) flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent, as flower form (simple/semi‑double/double) and the accessibility of the stamens affect attractiveness.

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.
