Rosa 'Pinkerbelle'
Pinkerbelle Hybrid Tea Rose
Rosa 'Pinkerbelle' is a hybrid tea rose that produces large cup‑shaped blooms of creamy ivory and soft pink, edged with magenta picotée. The blossoms open from pointed buds and continue to flower in flushes from late spring through fall, filling gardens with spicy‑verbena fragrance. Dark green semi‑gloss foliage frames each flower, and upright bushy stems support elegant display and cut‑flower use.
Introduced by Meilland International, this rose is valued for its strong disease resistance and performance in climates prone to fungal challenges.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Long, straight stems make hybrid teas ideal for cutting, so give each plant room and airflow.
