DICK CLARK™ – cream-yellow with red-edged petals bedding grandiflora rose
If You are looking for a rose that is both reliable and showy, DICK CLARK™ is an excellent choice for Irish family gardens, coping well even where soils are heavy and need a bit of help with drainage. This tall, bushy grandiflora forms a strong, upright structure with dense, glossy foliage, giving Your front garden or main bed an instant sense of maturity. Its cupped, medium-sized blooms appear generously in waves, with a remontant habit that keeps colour coming through the season. Each flower opens cream‑yellow with a cherry‑red edge, then gently shifts tones as temperatures change, so the bush never looks the same twice, yet always remains decorative. The sweet, spicy fragrance is easily noticed as You pass the path or patio. As an own-root, 2‑litre pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL plant, it settles in gradually for the long term – roots in the first year, stronger shoots in the second, then full ornamental value from about the third season – rewarding You with a long-lived, characterful focal point that needs only moderate care and occasional deadheading to stay tidy.

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.
