CSINI CSANI – pink hybrid tea rose – Márk
Softly coloured and easy to manage, CSINI CSANI brings a romantic cottage-garden feel to small family plots without demanding professional gardening skills. Its upright habit and repeat-flowering nature create a dependable, high-centred cut-rose look for hedges, beds and mixed borders, while the semi-double blooms offer a gentle, clearly noticeable fragrance that suits afternoon tea corners and quiet seating areas. Own-root planting means long-term stability, natural regeneration after harder pruning and a reassuring lifespan that matures steadily in a simple, year-by-year rhythm, allowing the plant to settle securely even where breezes and coastal weather are part of everyday life. In typical British clay or chalk soils, CSINI CSANI will reward basic care – watering in dry spells and light deadheading – with an increasingly floriferous display of peach-pink blooms that soften to powder pink. Over time the glossy foliage and steady framework of stems build a structure you can rely on, supporting repeat flushes of flowers for cutting or for admiring from the kitchen window.

Planting at 50–60 cm spacing creates a loosely formal line; repeat-flowering and moderate height produce a soft, storybook edge that frames lawns or play areas for the family with traditional taste. |
