More information

Small buds open into rosette-shaped blooms of clear apricot, typically with a pronounced central button. The scent is strong, of tea-rose type. Leaves are long, light green, with pointed tips. The shrub is upright; together with the foliage this gives a vertical outline. The cultivar is hardy, produces many basal shoots, quickly becoming dense and requiring thinning; otherwise flower numbers decrease. It needs time to reach full potential.

Sweet Juliet forms a tall shrub with fairly rigid, upright shoots. Flowers are medium-sized, rosette-shaped, deep apricot with paler edges. The fragrance is gentle, tea-rose; as the blooms open, a lemon tint appears. The variety shows disease resistance. To obtain large, well-formed flowers, prune to about half the height. Although vigorous, it is recommended to plant in groups of two or three bushes because the shrub is quite narrow.

Small buds expand into large, deeply cupped rosettes with a central button. The colour is soft apricot, fading to almost white at the edges, with a rich tea fragrance. Foliage is pointed, pale green, with a brownish tinge. The shrub is very upright and strong, forming a thicket by autumn. Many of these autumn shoots do not flower; spring bloom is significantly more abundant.
