PLUME – pink nostalgia rose – Kawamoto
With its pastel-pink pompon blooms and gently arching habit, PLUME brings a touch of romantic cottage-garden charm to the average Irish family garden without asking for complicated care. This shrub rose was selected for steady flowering through the season, so You can rely on soft, feather-like petals from early summer well into autumn, even where gardens face frequent rain and need help with good soil drainage. Its medium maintenance needs suit busy homeowners: regular watering and occasional pest checks are usually enough to keep the bush healthy and neat. As an own-root plant it offers impressive long-term longevity, rebuilding from its base if stems are damaged and maturing into a stable, balanced shrub over the years. In the first year it concentrates on roots, the second year brings stronger shoots, and by the third season PLUME shows its full romantic beauty in your front or back garden.
Closed bud of Plume, showing a delicate silvery-pink tone.
Plume rose with a light, fresh fruity-tea fragrance.
Plume shows a very double, spherical flower form.

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.
