JULIO IGLESIAS® – red-and-white hybrid tea rose – Mouchotte
If You love classic roses but want something genuinely easy-care, JULIO IGLESIAS® brings you bold, striped flowers without complicated routines. Its creamy‑white petals streaked with rich ruby red give a striking display in small Irish front gardens and cottage‑style beds, while the very strong, fresh citrus fragrance adds instant character by doors, paths and seating areas. This upright, compact bush fits neatly into average family gardens, coping well even where soils are heavy and need careful drainage after rain. Container‑grown in a 2‑litre pot on its own roots, it settles in reliably and develops a stable, long‑lived structure that regenerates well if ever cut back. Plant once and enjoy years of colour and scent as the bush gradually adapts to your garden’s conditions, giving dependable performance with only moderate upkeep.

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as MEIstemon, marketed as Julio Iglesias® hybrid tea rose MEIstemon; ARS exhibition name Julio Iglesias; a premium gold rated pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre own‑root potted rose.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Jacques Mouchotte, Meilland International SA, France, from (Shocking Blue × Lancôme) × Scentimental; breeding year 2005, registered 2006, introduced 2007 via Meilland Richardier for garden and cut‑flower use.
Growth and structure
Compact, upright hybrid tea bush 65–95 cm high and 50–70 cm wide, with dense, dark green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness; forms a structured, easily maintained shrub in beds or larger containers.
Flower morphology
Very full, many‑petalled hybrid tea blooms, usually solitary on stems; XL flower size from about 3.5 inches, cupped form, remontant with a generous second flush, providing long ornamental display through the main season.
Colour and phenology
Creamy‑white base with rich ruby‑red stripes and spots; pattern sharp at first, then softening to rosy red on yellowish‑cream as blooms open; colour contrasts remain attractive and distinctive even as individual flowers age.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, garden‑filling scent with a fresh, citrus‑peel character; designed primarily as an ornamental rose but also appreciated for scented cut stems, especially near seating areas, paths and doorways where fragrance is enjoyed.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose‑hip formation generally limited due to very double blooms; when set, hips are globular, orange‑red, around 12–18 mm in diameter, adding occasional late‑season interest without significant self‑seeding.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3); medium resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, with heat tolerance good but drought tolerance moderate, so regular watering needed in hot spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with improved drainage; spacing 40 cm for mass planting, 35 cm as a hedge, 65 cm as specimen; 5.7–6.5 plants/m²; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control and dead‑heading for best repeat bloom.
JULIO IGLESIAS® offers striking striped blooms, powerful citrus fragrance and compact, long‑lived own‑root growth that regenerates reliably, making it a practical choice if You would like a distinctive yet manageable rose for your garden.

pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose

On a creamy-white background rich ruby-red stripes and spots appear. The contrast is striking, with the white and red pattern sharply delineated.

Pre-Fading Flower:
The white base softens to a slightly yellowish cream, and the red stripes fade to a rosy pale red.
Colour Fading Description:

Pollinator Attraction:
Highly double (many‑petalled) flowers are less attractive to pollinators because the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit pollinator access.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers enclose the stamens; primarily an ornamental cultivar.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose-hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally produced, 12–18 mm in diameter, globular, orange-red rose hips.

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.
