The Marina Steven rose is a tea-hybrid variety bred in 2006 at the Nikita Botanical Garden by Klimenko Z.K. The flowers of this rose are large, reaching 10-11 cm in diameter, densely double, with up to 60 petals, and feature an old-fashioned shape. The flower coloration is delicate, with cream-pink tones and an apricot shade in the center, giving them an exquisite bicolor appearance. Flowers can be single or gathered into small clusters of 3-5 pieces, emitting a light rosehip aroma.
The Marina Steven rose bushes are compact and upright, reaching a height of about 100 cm. The leaves are large, dark green, and leathery, creating a striking contrast with the delicate flowers. The rose is characterized by long and abundant blooming, which occurs in two waves, making it an excellent choice for both group plantings in flower beds and for cut flowers.
The variety has high resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, which significantly eases plant care. Additionally, the rose is frost-hardy and capable of flowering even at the first frosts, which expands the possibilities for its cultivation in various climatic conditions. Thanks to these qualities and decorative appeal, the Marina Steven rose is an excellent choice for gardeners who value beauty and reliability.
