EUPORIE – pink bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA®
Euporie is a compact, bushy floribunda that fills your front garden or border with clusters of vivid fuchsia-pink blooms that gently fade to soft, powdery tones, giving months of reliable colour with very little fuss. Bred for moderate disease tolerance and solid winter hardiness, it copes well in Irish gardens where heavy rain and cool spells mix with periods of humidity and mild fungal pressure. The dense, glossy foliage and medium height make it naturally neat, so You can edge paths or low hedges without constant clipping. As an own-root rose in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot, it arrives well established and ready to plant, forming a durable, regenerating bush that keeps its ornamental value year after year. Enjoy the clearly noticeable damask‑raspberry fragrance on still evenings, ideal beside a seat or under a window You like to open. With its medium maintenance needs, occasional pest checks and simple feeding and deadheading are usually enough to keep the generous, cluster‑flowering display going. In its first year it concentrates on roots, in the second it builds its framework of shoots, and by the third year it reveals its full show as a long‑lived feature of your family garden.
