Julio Rose / Osiria (Candlestripe Rose) - Rosa hybrid

About Julio Rose / Osiria (Candlestripe Rose)

Julio Rose, also known as Osiria or Candlestripe Rose, is a perennial flowering shrub prized for its large, striking pink-and-white striped blooms with a distinctive camellia-like shape. It grows as a vigorous, upright bush and does particularly well in warmer conditions, where more sun deepens the colour contrast in the petals. The flowers carry a strong citrus and verbena fragrance, making this a popular choice for cutting as well as garden display.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Minimum 5-6 hours of full direct sun daily - more sun intensifies the striped colouring.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic content.
• Water: Water regularly, keeping the root zone moist without drowning it.

Planting & Placement

Grows well in a garden bed or a large container, making a strong statement wherever it's planted. Give it room to develop its upright, bushy form.

Care

• Fertilizer: Organic fertilizer once a month, with a phosphorus-based fertilizer added for more profuse flowering.
• Pruning: Prune every spring and remove old or diseased material; skip pruning in the fall and just cut off dead or diseased canes as needed. The plant carries healthy, disease-resistant foliage.

Flowering

Produces large, striped pink-and-white blooms in abundance through the growing season, each carrying a strong citrus-verbena fragrance.
