DIE ROSE IHRER MAJESTÄT – white hybrid tea rose – BEAinesza
If You dream of a classic white rose that looks refined yet stays manageable in an average Irish front garden, DIE ROSE IHRER MAJESTÄT helps You achieve it without complicated routines. This bushy hybrid tea stays neatly within 70–100 cm, ideal for smaller beds, edging and containers, while its large, cup-shaped blooms open in a cool, snow-white that hardly fades. Strong remontant flowering means elegant new buds keep coming through the season, so a small group of 3–5 plants can give a surprisingly full display. The fresh, citrusy fragrance is impressive enough for cutting into vases, yet the plant remains easy to look after if You provide basic watering and drainage that copes with Ireland’s wet, heavy soils and frequent rainfall. As an own-root rose, it builds a balanced, long-lived bush that recovers well after pruning or weather damage, gradually becoming a stable feature of Your garden. In year one it focuses on roots, in year two on stronger shoots, and by year three it delivers its full ornamental value with reliable, pure-white flowers You can simply enjoy.

The 70–100 cm height and 35–50 cm spread allow for precise planting distances, creating a formal yet friendly edging that stays easy to manage and visually consistent for years, reassuring the order-loving planner |
| Coastal and exposed situations |
Established plants show robust structure and medium disease resistance that, with basic care, perform well even where wind and frequent rain test garden shrubs, including areas with challenging, waterlogged-prone soils, giving confidence to the Atlantic-coast gardener |
| Long-term, low-fuss plantings |
As an own-root hybrid tea, the shrub forms and reforms from its own base over time, remaining true to type, so after the first few seasons of establishment it becomes a stable, long-lived element of your planting, reassuring the long-term thinker |
