Lady Romantica

Full Description:

Lady Romantica has the kind of beauty that makes a garden feel instantly more welcoming. Its cream-white flowers open with a soft, rounded form, creating a calm and luminous display that feels equally at home in a romantic border or a carefully structured rose bed.

Created by Meilland Richardier, this variety reflects the breeder’s talent for combining classical beauty with dependable garden performance. Each double flower measures approximately 8 cm and is composed of around 120 petals, giving the blooms a rich, delicately layered appearance.

The first flowering arrives abundantly in spring, followed by repeated flushes that continue through late autumn. This long season allows Lady Romantica to renew its display again and again, rather than offering only one brief moment of beauty.

The plant reaches approximately 60 to 100 cm in height, making it easy to place in the front or middle of a border, in a dedicated rose bed or in groups for a fuller cream-white effect.

Its pale colouring combines beautifully with blush pink, lavender, soft apricot and silver foliage. Planted near an entrance or terrace, Lady Romantica becomes a gentle presence that welcomes you back into the garden with every new flowering flush.
