THEMISTO – cream-white-pink nostalgia rose – pharmaROSA®
With its nostalgic cream-white and blush-pink blooms, THEMISTO is a romantic floribunda shrub rose that suits typical Irish family gardens where summers can be cool and humid. Compact yet generous, it flowers in clusters, bringing a soft cottage feel to front beds and borders without demanding constant care. THEMISTO is bred for resistance, coping well with common fungal issues so You spend more time enjoying flowers and less time spraying. As an own-root plant, it offers reassuring longevity, rebuilding from the base if ever damaged and keeping its shape stable for years. Over the first three seasons it settles in steadily – first strengthening its roots, then building reliable shoots, and by year three giving its full ornamental display with lush, fully double blooms. Its compact habit makes it ideal for smaller gardens or grouped as a low, romantic hedge near paths and patios.
Themisto shows its colour shift from powder-pink cream buds to ivory-white blooms.

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.
