JEANNE MOREAU® – white hybrid tea rose – Meilland & Mouchotte
If You dream of a refined white rose that simply settles in and performs, JEANNE MOREAU® is a dependable choice for Irish family gardens. Its romantic blooms are large, very double and silky, opening one by one on strong stems so You always have pristine flowers to admire or cut for the house. The intense citrus‑and‑jasmine fragrance carries on still evenings, adding a touch of classic elegance near seating areas, front paths and doorways. With an upright, bushy habit around 80–110 cm, it fits neatly into beds and smaller borders without overwhelming nearby plants, while the dense, dark green foliage gives structure even between flushes of bloom. Colour retention is superb; the snow‑white petals stay clear and luminous, barely changing as they age, a real asset in formal plantings. Grown on its own roots in a 2‑litre pot, this premium gold‑rated rose is ready to establish steadily; roots in year one, strong shoots in year two, and full ornamental impact by year three. In typical Irish conditions it appreciates steady watering and soils that drain reasonably well even on heavier ground, helping it cope gracefully with our mix of rain, cool spells and humidity. Ideal if You want an easy‑care, long‑lived rose that brings cut‑flower quality to everyday garden life.

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.
