RED GOLDFLUSS – pink hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA®
With RED GOLDFLUSS you can bring a sense of afternoon tea romance into a real family garden, combining colour drama with reassuringly straightforward care. This hybrid tea’s XL, fully double blooms open from velvety buds into richly layered cups, then slowly soften into cooler violet tones, giving evolving interest from first opening to final fade. Its strong, far‑reaching fragrance adds natural garden theatre around seating areas and paths, while the upright, moderately dense bush keeps borders looking orderly rather than overblown. Own‑root plants offer long‑term resilience and easy regeneration after pruning, helping maintain stable shape and flower quality for many years. It settles well even where soil is heavy, when planted into well‑prepared beds with improved drainage that stand up better to wet, windy weather. Over the first seasons you will see roots establish, then stronger new shoots, before the full ornamental display really comes into its own.
