INES SASTRE® pink-white climbing rose – pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL
If You would like an impressive rose that behaves reliably in an Irish family garden, INES SASTRE® is a romantic climber that gives You big, cupped, raspberry‑cream blooms with eye‑catching stripes from early summer, repeating generously later. Its glossy dark foliage and sparsely thorned canes make it easy to enjoy on a wall, arch or pergola without constant fuss, while an own‑root plant quietly builds strength below ground for a long‑lived, steadily improving display. The pharmaROSA® 2‑litre container arrives well rooted and ready to plant, so You simply water, feed and watch it settle, even where soil is heavy and needs careful drainage after rain. In year one it concentrates on roots, in year two You see stronger shoots, and by year three it reaches its full ornamental potential. With extra‑large flowers, remontant blooming, adaptable training options and medium care needs, it fits beautifully into small to medium gardens where You want reliable height and colour without complicated gardening routines.
Ines Sastre® in fresh bloom, with raspberry-pink petals and creamy-white striping.
Ines Sastre® flowers are very double, with more than 40 petals and a full, cupped centre.
Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front‑garden wall beside the entrance
Trained as a climber, its height of around 180–280 cm frames a doorway or front window without overwhelming a typical Irish house façade, keeping paths welcoming while adding long‑season striped colour for busy homeowners seeking simplicity
Pergola or archway over a garden path
The flexible, creeping growth habit and sparsely thorned stems suit guiding over an arch or light pergola, creating a romantic tunnel of extra‑large, raspberry‑cream blooms that lends cottage‑garden charm for families who enjoy relaxed outdoor ambience
Feature fence in a compact family back garden
Medium maintenance needs and reliable remontant flowering make it ideal along a boundary fence where You want dependable summer colour without constant pruning, especially when regular watering is manageable in a typical family routine
Sunny terrace in a large container
In a 40–50 litre or larger container with support, it brings vertical interest and striped blooms to patios or roof terraces, making the most of limited ground space for urban gardeners who want a statement rose with manageable care
Small group planting on a south‑facing gable
Planting 2–3 plants at the recommended spacing creates a fuller, more continuous flowering surface, while own‑root growth helps them adapt to their final position and give long‑term structure for householders planning ahead with quiet confidence
Mixed rose and perennial border backdrop
Used at the back of a bed with perennials in front, its dark foliage and showy flowers form a contrasting backdrop that matures steadily over years, suiting gardeners who prefer planting once and then mostly gentle seasonal tweaks
Sheltered coastal front garden trellis
Good winter hardiness and moderate disease tolerance allow reliable growth in many Irish sites when combined with sensible watering and feeding, even in areas where persistent rain means soil needs help to drain freely between downpours for coastal‑area owners
Cut‑flower corner near the house
Long, well‑branched stems with clustered, very double blooms make attractive indoor arrangements; regular cutting encourages fresh flowering, giving pleasure both in the garden and vase for home decorators who appreciate easy, repeatable results
Decorating ideas
Cottage Archway – Train INES SASTRE® over a metal arch with lavender and catmint at the base for a soft, romantic entrance to a back garden – ideal for lovers of traditional cottage style.
Front‑Door Welcome – Cover a trellis by the front step, underplanting with dwarf rosemary and violas to echo the rose’s pink‑white tones – suited to homeowners wanting a smart but low‑effort entrance.
Patio Feature Pot – Grow it in a 50‑litre wooden half‑barrel with a fan trellis, adding trailing thyme around the rim – perfect for small patios where vertical colour is needed without taking floor space.
Raspberry Border – Place at the back of a mixed border with bee balm and obedient plant in front to repeat raspberry and pink hues – good for hobby gardeners who enjoy coordinated colour schemes.
Romantic Screen – Use along a seating‑area fence, interplanting with hydrangeas and evergreen honeysuckle groundcover to create a soft privacy screen – ideal for families who want a calm, sheltered corner.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Registered as MEIteratol, marketed as INES SASTRE® Romantica®; American exhibition name Raspberry Cream Twirl. Large-flowered climbing rose belonging to the Romantica® collection.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Antoine Meilland, Meilland International SA, France. Parentage: ‘Meinoiral’ × (‘Meihestries’ × ‘Meidomonac’ Bonica ’82). Introduced and registered in 2012 from 2010 French breeding.
Awards and recognitions
First prize at the Hradec Králové International Rose Competition in the Czech Republic in 2012, highlighting its ornamental value and performance in comparative trial conditions.
Growth and structure
Creeping climbing habit with dense, glossy dark green foliage and relatively few thorns. Typical height 180–280 cm, spread 90–160 cm, suitable for training on arches, pergolas, walls and sturdy trellis supports.
Flower morphology
Very double, cupped blooms with over 40 petals, borne mainly in clusters of three to five per stem. Extra‑large flowers, approximately 9 cm or more, with self‑cleaning weak so deadheading improves appearance.
Colour and phenology
Raspberry-pink base with irregular cream‑white stripes and speckles; petals fade to softer pink with blurred streaks as blooms age. Repeats well with an abundant second flush after the main early-summer flowering.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak, with a fresh, apple-like character detectable only at close range. Primarily chosen for its striking striped colour effect and flower form rather than for strong scent in the garden.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is generally poor due to the fully double flower form, though occasional small spherical red hips 6–10 mm in diameter may form late in the season if flowers are not removed.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (H7, USDA 5b, Swedish Zone 4). Disease resistance rated medium for black spot, mildew and rust; benefits from good air circulation and timely preventive care in humid seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with fertile, well‑drained soil; water regularly in dry spells. Space around 140–150 cm, or 225 cm as specimen. Suitable for walls, fences, arches, pergolas and large containers from 40–50 litres upward.
INES SASTRE® offers striking striped extra-large blooms, dependable repeat flowering and adaptable climbing height on a long-lived own-root plant that matures steadily, making it a reassuring choice if You would like a graceful feature 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.
