The hybrid tea rose Mythos is a beautifully elegant choice if You would like classic long-stemmed blooms in a manageable, upright bush for an Irish family garden. Its large, high-centred flowers are produced repeatedly through the season, bringing reliable flowering to beds and front gardens without complicated design work. The refined cream to off-white petals carry a subtle greenish sheen, giving a uniquely sophisticated look that pairs easily with cottage-garden perennials and low hedging. Although it prefers a sunny position, it copes well when summers turn damp and cool, even where humidity builds in more enclosed gardens near the coast or in town. The own-root, 2‑litre plant is already well established, settling in steadily so the bush keeps its shape and ornamental value over many years. With moderate height and medium spread, Mythos fits neatly into smaller borders, while its long, straight stems and long-lasting, double blooms make it excellent for cutting into vases indoors. Planted into improved, free-draining soil, it responds well to regular deadheading and simple care, rewarding Your patience with increasing flower quality season by season.

Flower morphology
Large, double, high-centred hybrid tea blooms with 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on stems. Strong remontancy provides abundant second flushes when regularly deadheaded for sustained display and cutting.
Colour and phenology
Cream to off-white flowers with a subtle greenish reflex at petal edges. Buds open pale creamy white, then fade to matte white with a delicate silvery sheen while retaining good colour stability through the flowering period.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
MYTHOS – cream-coloured hybrid tea rose - Evers
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Full Bloom:
Uniform creamy off-white, with a subtly cool, greenish reflex towards the petal edges.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The petals fade to a matt white with a delicate silvery sheen.
Colour Fading Description:
As it opens, the creamy-white tone fades to a uniform off-white and then to a matte white; a slight greenish reflex remains at the petal margins.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its heavily double flowers make it only weakly attractive to pollinators, since the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double blooms partially obscure the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited and it is primarily ornamental.

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.
