Strong F₁ hybrid with rich flowering

Illumination® Rose belongs to the latest generation of F₁ tuber hybrids, ensuring uniform growth, strong branching, and reliable flowering. The plants develop drooping stems of 40–60 cm, abundantly covered with large, double flowers of 6–8 cm.

Flowering begins early in the season, usually from May onwards, and continues until the first frost. The Illumination® series is known for its excellent performance in partial shade, making the Rose variety reliable and easy to care for.

Key Features:

• 🌞 Early and long flowering – from May to October

• 🌿 Trailing growth habit – ideal for baskets and pots

• 🌸 Double flowers in warm shades of pink

Pink flowers with a soft appearance

What makes the Illumination® Rose unique is its soft to warm pink color, which adds elegance and refinement to any outdoor space. The trailing stems overlap, creating a lush cascade of flowers, ideal for terraces, balconies, or patios.

Thanks to its self-cleaning properties, wilted flowers disappear automatically, allowing new blooms to continue to appear and the plant always looks well-cared for. The pink shades are perfect for romantic borders, mixed hanging baskets, or potted plants and combine beautifully with white, yellow, or apricot begonias.
