JULIETA – salmon-pink hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL
If You would love a romantic, salmon-pink hybrid tea that feels instantly at home in a typical Irish family garden, JULIETA is an easy-going choice that fits neatly into beds, borders and front gardens without demanding complicated care. The bushy, mid-sized plant carries clusters of elegant, cup-shaped blooms in a warm salmon shade, opening from pointed buds and softening to pastel tones as they age, so Your planting never looks flat or dull. Its medium maintenance needs suit real-life schedules in a busy household, while own-root growing gives reassuring longevity, helping the rose regenerate and keep its shape over many years. Well-rooted in a 2‑litre pot, it arrives ready to settle quickly, even where clay soils need a bit of thought for drainage in wetter spells. JULIETA flowers repeatedly through the season with a clearly noticeable, fresh, fruity perfume, so You can enjoy colour and scent from garden or patio without specialist know-how. In its first year it focuses on roots, in the second on building shoots, and by the third summer it usually delivers its full ornamental display.
