WALTZ TIME™ – mauve hybrid tea rose – Delbard‑Chabert
Elegant without being fussy, WALTZ TIME™ brings a soft mauve glow to your garden with classic hybrid tea form that looks as good in a vase as it does by your front path. Its bushy, compact shape is easy to accommodate, even in smaller Irish gardens, and performs reliably despite our rainy spells and heavier soils typical near the coast. Large, cupped blooms in a refined mauve and silver-lilac mix appear in flushes, offering a generous second flowering season after season. The mild, classic rose scent is pleasant but not overpowering, ideal near sitting areas. As a 2‑litre, own‑root plant, it settles in steadily and develops into a long‑lived, well‑balanced bush that you can trust for many years. Root growth in year one, stronger shoots in year two and full ornamental value by year three give you a clear, reassuring timeline from planting to maturity. With medium maintenance needs and only occasional plant protection, it suits busy gardeners who still want reliable colour and cut flowers. Whether You favour a neat front garden border or a romantic cottage‑style bed, this reliable, premium‑rated hybrid tea will anchor your planting scheme with confidence and quietly charming style.

Long-term structural planting

Mixed bed with perennials and grasses
The dark, slightly glossy foliage and medium height let it sit comfortably among perennials and ornamental grasses, providing repeat flowering structure without shading everything else, ideal for mixed borders that should look good from spring to autumn for the average family gardener

Property

Origin and breeding
Bred by André Delbard-Chabert, France, 1961; parentage (Christopher Stone × Marcelle Gret) × (Holstein × Bayadère [1951]); introduced and initially distributed by Georges Delbard SA as a classic garden and cut-flower hybrid tea.
Growth and structure
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 85–120 cm high and 50–70 cm wide; dense, dark green, slightly glossy foliage; moderately thorny stems; weak self-cleaning so spent blooms benefit from regular deadheading to keep a tidy appearance.
Flower morphology
Double, cupped hybrid tea blooms with 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on stems; large flower size around 2.75–3.95 inches, with medium-height, well-defined flower form; remontant with a generous second flush in suitable conditions.
Colour and phenology
Uniform mauve-pink with silvery-lilac sheen; buds medium-dark mauve pink, fresh blooms soft silvery mauve with pure mauve-pink inside; colour lightens to powdery lavender-pink and silvery tones, fading moderately in strong sun as flowers age.
Fragrance and aroma
Delicate, classic rose fragrance of mild strength; noticeable at close range without overwhelming nearby seating or open windows; primarily an ornamental variety, with densely petalled flowers that offer limited pollen access to visiting insects.
Rose hip characteristics
May produce a small number of ovoid, egg-shaped hips, approximately 10–14 mm in diameter; orange-red at maturity, adding a subtle seasonal accent in late season if spent flowers are not removed for continued flowering.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (USDA zone 6b, Swedish zone 3, RHS H7); moderate heat and drought tolerance, needing watering in prolonged dry spells; disease resistance moderate to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, benefits from occasional protection.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with well-drained soil; spacing 60 cm for mass planting, 50 cm for hedging, 90 cm as a specimen; recommended density around 2.8 plants/m² in square layout; suitable for beds, cut flowers and specimen use with regular deadheading.
WALTZ TIME™ offers soft mauve hybrid tea blooms, dependable repeat flowering and a compact, long-lived own-root bush that matures steadily, making it a reassuring choice if You want lasting colour with manageable care.
Pollinator Attraction:
Highly double, densely petalled flowers have less accessible stamens, reducing their attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double blooms partially conceal the stamens, attracting pollinators only to a limited extent, so it is primarily an ornamental variety.

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.
