MONCLER – vivid pink hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL
If You dream of a romantic rose that simply gets on with the job in an Irish family garden, MONCLER is for You: its vivid cyclamen-pink, rosette blooms bring impact to small front beds and paths while coping well with typical Irish rain and humidity. This upright, medium-height hybrid tea forms a dense, slightly glossy green bush that stays pleasantly compact, so it fits neatly into modest borders or along low fences without overwhelming the space. As an own-root, 2‑litre plant it settles in steadily, building a strong base for a genuinely long‑lived investment shrub that can regenerate from its own wood rather than depending on a graft. After planting, it focuses first on root growth, then on bushy shoots, and by the third year rewards You with its full ornamental performance of large, generously repeating flowers and a strong, far‑reaching fragrance that You can enjoy with only straightforward, occasional care.

| Ornamental beds around the home |
The vivid cyclamen-pink, rosette blooms act as a strong colour accent among shrubs and perennials, and the bush’s compact footprint allows easy mowing and paving edges, suiting homeowners who want a clear, decorative focal point with limited upkeep for busy-gardeners |

Its remontant habit and generous second flush mean that within a couple of years a small group gives a long window of flowering, gradually building from good first-year colour to a rich, full display by the third season, reassuring cautious new gardeners for first-time-owners |
