REGNER – pink-lilac hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA®
If You would like a reliable, elegant rose that settles calmly into an average Irish family garden, REGNER is a beautifully shaped hybrid tea that keeps its bushy form and colour impact without asking for complicated care. Its XL blooms in soft pink‑lilac tones open on glossy mid‑green foliage, creating a refined structure in beds and borders that looks planned, yet relaxed. Own‑root plants gradually build a long‑lived, balanced shrub that regenerates well, even after tough winters and wet spells typical of coastal areas. Strong, sweet‑fruity fragrance means each flower is worth a close look, while the cultivar’s confirmed hardiness and disease resistance let You enjoy clean leaves with fewer sprays. In the first year it quietly invests in roots, in the second it gains height and shoots, and by the third year You can count on its full ornamental value in the garden picture.
