HENRIETTA – yellow-red hybrid tea rose - McGredy
With its glowing yellow-red blooms and elegant, upright shape, HENRIETTA is a reliable hybrid tea rose that suits Irish family gardens where soils can stay heavy and wet yet still drain reasonably well. You get long-stemmed, high-centred flowers, ideal for cutting, on a sturdy, own-root bush that matures steadily over time for a genuinely lasting planting. Its dense, dark green foliage and strong disease resistance keep the plant looking healthy with little fuss, so You can enjoy colour rather than chores. The large, very double flowers repeat well across the season, giving a continuous show in beds or as a striking specimen. HENRIETTA fits beautifully into classic front gardens, smaller borders and cottage-style schemes, bringing warm, romantic tones that feel welcome close to the house or along paths. In a spacious container of at least 40–50 litres it forms a vertical, structured accent for patios or coastal balconies. Own-root plants settle in gradually – roots in year one, bush structure in year two, and full ornamental value by year three – helping even beginners grow a confident, successful rose.

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.
