PIERRE CARDIN® – pink hybrid tea rose – Meilland
PIERRE CARDIN® is a fragrant hybrid tea that gives Your garden an effortlessly refined, almost couture look, without demanding complicated care. Its large, high-centred blooms mix romantic form with a modern, speckled pink colour that softens to silvery-pink as the flowers mature, bringing continuous interest from bud to fall of petal. The strong, garden-filling scent and long, straight stems make it as good for cutting as for admiring from Your kitchen window. Bushy, mid-height growth and dense foliage suit smaller Irish front gardens, even where humidity and frequent rain increase fungal pressure. As an own-root rose in a 2-litre pot it settles in reliably: roots build up in year one, shoots strengthen in year two, and by year three You enjoy full ornamental value with minimal fuss. Plant it in sun, give it decent drainage on heavier soils, and this reliable, long-lived, premium, easy-care rose will reward You with repeated flowering from early summer well into autumn.

Refined border in a family back garden
Remontant flowering with a generous second flush keeps colour returning through summer, so a simple mixed border looks thoughtfully planned without complex planting schemes, suiting the low-maintenance gardener
Container planting on patio or terrace
Performs well in a large container of at least 40–50 litres, where the bushy habit and repeat bloom provide a smart, vertical accent that is easy to water and enjoy up close for the urban balcony owner

Planting a drift of three to five bushes at recommended spacing creates a seamless block of speckled pink colour that knits together into one elegant feature over a few seasons, pleasing the design-conscious owner

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.
