MÁRTON ÁRON – cream-white hybrid tea rose – Márk
With its refined cream-white blooms and strong garden performance, MÁRTON ÁRON is an easy-care hybrid tea rose You can rely on for beginners, busy weeks and changeable Irish weather. Its upright stems carry large, high‑centred flowers perfect for cutting into vases, while the bush stays neat and manageable in an average family garden. The own‑root plant settles in steadily and offers a long lifespan, regenerating well over the years with only light annual pruning. Strong resistance to common fungal problems makes it a truly reliable choice where damp air and frequent showers can encourage disease in other roses, coping well even where soil stays heavy after rain and needs improved drainage. The medium, noticeable fragrance gives a clean, fresh note along paths and near seating, and the clear cream‑white colour mixes easily with cottage‑style favourites. In its pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot it arrives well rooted and simple to plant, so You can watch roots establish in the first year, shoots build shape in the second, and full ornamental value unfold by the third season.
