MILROSE – pink bedding floribunda rose - Chabert
Milrose is a floribunda bedding rose that gives You a reliably neat, flower-filled look without demanding complicated care, thriving even where rain and cool summers feel typically Irish. Its bushy, compact habit and dense, light green, glossy foliage make borders look instantly orderly, while the clusters of mid-pink, cup-shaped blooms open repeatedly from summer into autumn for a long, colourful season. Bred for disease resistance, Milrose stands up well to black spot, mildew and rust, so You spend more time enjoying and less time spraying. As an own-root plant in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre pot, it settles in gradually and lives a long, reliable life in family gardens. In its first year it focuses on roots, the second year on bushy growth, and by the third year You see its full ornamental value, forming a tidy, lasting structure that suits front gardens, cottage-style beds and easy-care mixed borders alike.

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.
