DELSTROR – salmon-pink bedding floribunda rose – Delbard & Delbard
If You enjoy unusual roses with painterly, shifting colours, DELSTROR (Grimaldi) is a charming floribunda that brings colour and soft romance to smaller Irish gardens without complicated upkeep. Its semi-double clusters open in a fresh salmon-pink, brushed and streaked with creamy-white, then gently lighten so the bush always looks lively rather than rigidly formal. The bushy, rounded habit stays neat and compact, ideal for front gardens and borders where You want reliable display but still need room for the children to play. As an own-root plant it settles in steadily, forming durable roots that help it cope with our changeable showers and the kind of humidity that often encourages problems in fussier roses, especially when planted with sensible spacing and good air flow. In year one it focuses on its underground network, in year two the framework fills out, and by year three You can enjoy its full ornamental value with less replanting and long-term stability. DELSTROR is remontant, so it flowers in waves through the season, and its medium-sized, semi-double blooms provide a partially pollinator-friendly stop-off for bees looking for a quick visit between showers.

Foliage:
The variety has medium-density foliage; the surface texture of the leaves cannot be clearly classified and their colour is a dark green shade.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double-flowered varieties (as opposed to simple or semi-double forms) are less attractive to pollinators because the densely filled petals hide or restrict access to the stamens and nectar.
Maintenance Requirements:
Maintenance requirement high; due to poor disease resistance it requires regular inspections and frequent plant protection measures.
Key Uses:
flower bed, group, container, hedge, cut flower, park

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.
