Floribunda Rose
Thank you to the team (for order preparation and shipping), the rose bush I received appears healthy. Planted in the ground, I'm now patiently waiting for it to take root...(or not?).

Description
The Sophia Romantica® 'Meisselpier' rose is a charming and highly romantic variety. This compact yet robust bedding rose produces an abundance of bold, double, creamy white and pastel pink flowers that rival old-fashioned roses. This floral display repeats from May until the first frosts. Its glossy, dense and very healthy foliage provides a decorative green backdrop throughout the season.
The Sophia Romantica® 'Meisselpier' rose was grown by Meilland in 2007. It is also marketed under the name of 'Kurfürstin Sophie'®. This bedding rose belongs to the floribunda rose group characterised by their cluster-type flowering. It is part of the Romantica® collection renowned for its varieties producing bold double, fragrant flowers that combine the charm of old roses with the qualities of modern roses.
This rose has a bushy, compact habit, reaching a height of 60-80 cm and a spread of 40-60 cm. Measuring approximately 7 cm in diameter, the blooms are emphatically double with a form reminiscent of old roses, featuring creamy white petals subtly tinged with pastel pink, deepening towards the centre of the corolla. They exude a light, delicate fragrance. Flowering repeats from May until October-November. It will cease with the onset of frosts or during very dry summers. The foliage is dark green, glossy and deciduous: it falls in autumn and regrows the following spring. The stems bear thorns as is typical for most roses.
The Sophia Romantica® 'Meisselpier' rose looks superb in beds or containers on a terrace. Its elegance is enhanced when planted alongside the Astronomia® rose, covered in single, delicate flowers. Add blue tones to the front of your border with the perennial geranium 'Johnson’s Blue' and the scabious 'Butterfly Blue'. Complete the scene with the large double daisy 'Wirral Supreme' and its rustic flowers with ruffled petals.

Planting and care
To plant your Sophia Romantica rose, prepare the soil by working it to a depth of 30 cm, breaking up any clumps. At the bottom of the planting hole, add a base fertiliser such as dried blood or dehydrated horn. Place the young plant after removing it from its pot, covering the top of the root ball with 3 cm of soil. Fill in the hole and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. During dry weather, water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root establishment. Also consider feeding your rose with a special rose fertiliser to promote flowering. Choose a sunny spot, or partial shade in very hot regions.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
