Hybrid tea rose 'Marilyn Monroe'
FamilyRosaceae
Rosa ‘Marilyn Monroe’, a glamorous and luminous hybrid tea rose, captivates with its large, double, cream-apricot flowers delicately nuanced with peach pink, whose coloration subtly evolves as they bloom. The thick, satiny petals form an elegantly turbinated flower borne on long, sturdy stems ideal for cutting and refined bouquets. Its light to moderate fragrance pleasantly accompanies the bloom without overpowering the space. Its bushy, upright, and vigorous habit gives it a structured silhouette perfect for sunny beds or as a focal point in a warm-toned and pastel border. Floriferous and remontant, it produces several waves of blooms throughout the summer. Its dense, healthy, dark green foliage highlights the softness of the color while showing good disease tolerance in rich, deep, and well-drained soil. Rosa ‘Marilyn Monroe’ brings elegance, softness, and sophistication to the garden while attracting pollinating insects.
