MAGIA NERA™ – dark red hybrid tea rose – COMsor
If You dream of a front garden rose that looks sophisticated but stays easy to manage, MAGIA NERA™ delivers rich colour without complicated care. This classic hybrid tea forms a compact, bushy shape with glossy, dark-green foliage, ideal for neat beds and smaller borders. Its velvety, almost black-maroon blooms keep their dramatic colour even in strong sun, so You can rely on a consistently elegant look. Strong, classically rosy fragrance and long-stemmed flowers make it perfect for cutting into vases and for exhibition-style displays at home. The semi-double, high-centred blooms open repeatedly through the season, giving a steady rhythm of flowers rather than a single flush. Own-root plants gradually form a balanced, long-lived bush that can regenerate from the base, supporting years of use in your garden. Plant in well-drained soil that copes with our wetter Irish spells and You gain resilient, disease-resistant performance with minimal spraying. Over the first three years the roots establish, the shoots build up, and then full ornamental value appears as the plant settles into your garden. With its premium quality and dependable flowering habit, MAGIA NERA™ suits busy gardeners who want to plant once and enjoy for many seasons.

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.
