VILLAGE DE SAINT YRIEIX – lilac hybrid tea rose – Panozzo
If You dream of a romantic hybrid tea that stays compact, flowers repeatedly and copes well with Ireland’s wet, heavy soils, VILLAGE DE SAINT YRIEIX is an easy-care choice for real-life gardens. Its tall, elegant, XL blooms in soft lavender-lilac bring a genuinely luxurious look to front beds and borders without demanding expert skills. The powerful, long-lasting fragrance adds a romantic atmosphere to paths and seating areas, while the neat bushy habit keeps the plant looking orderly in smaller spaces. Own-root formation supports a naturally long-lived shrub that regenerates well and settles into Your soil and care routine over time. In the first year the roots establish, by the second the bush shape fills out, and by the third year You enjoy full ornamental effect with consistent, remontant flowering. Plant it in beds or a minimum 40–50 litre container for a reliable, showpiece rose that suits both beginners and time-pressed gardeners who still want something special.
