Rose Pink Intuition is one of the most popular varieties of French selection with lush, luxurious flowers and original, multi-colored colors. This variety is widely popular among European flower growers; it is grown both in personal plots and used to create beautiful landscape compositions in squares and park areas.
History of selection
The rose variety Pink Intuition was developed relatively recently - in 1999 in France. A natural mutation of the Red Intuition rose variety was used as the starting material. The originator is the famous breeding company Delbar. They introduced the marbled novelty in 2003 as a cut variety. The densely doubled two-color masterpiece quickly won the sympathy of gardeners and quickly spread throughout Europe. It was patented in 2004, but was not included in the State Register of Breeding Achievements of the Russian Federation.

Description of the variety
This variety is suitable for landscape design like no other. Even a few bushes of this unusual rose will turn any area into an island of happiness. In 1999, Frenchman Georges Delbart developed an extraordinary variety of exquisite roses, Red Intuition. Among breeders, this flower is called “The most decorative hybrid rose.”
On a bush 1 m high there are lonely heads of exquisite beauties. The rose has absolutely no thorns. The leaves are medium in size and rich green in color. The gloss adds sophistication to the entire bush.
The buds are shaped like a glass. But the most impressive sight is the flowers. They are large and bowl shaped. Their colors are simply amazing: on a burgundy or red-garnet background there are many stripes, stains, and small spots in the same color scheme. The rose is also called “tiger”.
The terry coating on the petals gives it a special chic. The flowers look as if they were painted by an artist. The splashes and stripes are gracefully intertwined, creating the impression of a single color. Rose has a faint but pleasant aroma. In single plantings or mixes, this amazingly colored flower will be an accent. Flower growers recommend growing it in the foreground in flower beds, so that everyone who passes by can see this elegant terry miracle with striped colors.
The variety has a lot of undeniable advantages:
- resistant to high temperatures and heat;
- not affected by fungi;
- high degree of frost resistance;
- has continuous flowering;
- the flowers look luxurious;
- The aroma is delicate, unobtrusive.
The rose is planted on a summer cottage as a hedge, in flower beds. The buds open slowly, so they are in “good shape” for a long time. Red Intuition is great when cut and makes delightful bouquets and arrangements.
Description of hybrid tea rose Pink Intuition and characteristics
Rose Pink Intuition is a hybrid tea variety. Remontant, that is, capable of blooming twice in one season with a short break. The buds take a long time to ripen, gradually gaining the required volume. From the moment a flower bud appears until it blooms, it can take 10 to 20 days. But the flowers last incredibly long without losing their magnificent appearance. They can withstand rain, sunlight, and early autumn frosts.
Rose Pink Intuition is a powerful bush, reaching 70-110 cm in height and 40 to 70 cm in diameter. When planting a rose on your own plot, this nuance must be taken into account. The stems are strong, erect, unbranched, with a single flower bud at the top. Like all hybrids, they are distinguished by their large diameter and strength. The color is green, with brown streaks in places. The number of spikes is average.
The foliage is abundant and large in size. Quite dense, dense green and malachite, lacquered and shiny. Young leaves are more tender and have a reddish-brown tint. The shape is oval-elongated, with small teeth along the edge. The tips of the leaves are pointed.
The buds are large, very terry. When blooming, they are shaped like a glass, up to 9-13 cm in diameter and about 7-8 cm in height. The petals are large, round, curved outward at the ends, forming beautiful ridges. The color is reminiscent of exotic marble - on a creamy-pinkish background there are numerous longitudinal veins of carmine, crimson, and hot pink. The number of petals reaches 17-45 pieces; they practically do not fall off, remaining in the receptacle until completely dry.
The aroma of the blossoming buds is very pleasant, sweetish and refreshing, reminiscent of a fruit mix. The core of the flower is sunny yellow, with tall stamens. A fully blossomed bud has a spherical, slightly flattened shape, with distinctly curved petals. The flowering period is from early summer to October frosts.
Advice! Since Pink Intuition roses are classified as repeat bloomers, buds that begin to fade must be removed. This way new flowers ripen and bloom faster.
Pink Intuition is not susceptible to fungal diseases, including spotting and powdery mildew. Can grow in sun and partial shade. Hardy, if there is sufficient snow cover, it winters at the latitude of Moscow without additional shelter. Withstands frosts down to -23, intended for cultivation in climate zone 4.
Growing such a large-flowered beauty in your summer cottage is the dream of any housewife who loves roses. The lush bush is almost completely covered with luxurious marble flowers throughout the summer, and the gap between two waves of flowering is insignificant. The plant fits perfectly into group plantings and combines with other varieties of roses. Looks especially good with lush greens. Ideal for making bouquets. Rose Pink Intuition is shown in the photo.
Rose Pink Intuition is perfect for growing in the Russian climate and can withstand temperature changes and winter frosts.

For the winter, Pink Intuition does not need to be covered; the variety tolerates frost. But if the winters in your region are harsh, you can install a special frame with two layers of non-woven fabric near the plant. You can put regular film on top of them. After the snow melts in winter, the plant can be opened. But until the soil warms up, it is still recommended to leave one layer of non-woven material. If you do not do this, the rose will immediately begin to actively bloom.

Recommendations
Landing
The best place for planting is a sunny, windless side. Loose, well-drained soils are suitable. The planting hole is dug to a depth of 50 cm, and its width depends on the size of the root shoot. The bottom is lined with a layer of sand and crushed stone. Then the hole is filled with a soil mixture of well-rotted manure, turf soil, sand and peat in a ratio of 3:2:2:1. It needs to be planted in already warm soil; near Moscow, the most favorable time for planting roses is during the May holidays. Before transplanting, each bush is kept in water (a root formation stimulator can be added) for 4-5 hours. Weak shoots are removed, excessively long shoots are shortened - this will contribute to the active development of the remaining ones.
Care
It tolerates frosts down to minus 20 °C, suitable climatic zones: 6-9 (the south of the Moscow region is included here, shelter for the winter is desirable in the north of the region). Resistant to pests. To maintain high growth rates and rich flowering, you need to feed regularly. It needs systematic watering: once a week will be enough.

Pests and diseases
Rosa Pink Intuition has a powerful immune system. With proper agricultural technology, healthy plants are not susceptible to fungal and bacterial diseases. In rare cases, if watered too much, root rot may develop.
Like all roses, Pink Intuition is susceptible to pest attacks. The most dangerous are:
- aphids, spider mites;
- copperhead, sawflies and caterpillars.
When insects appear, it is necessary to treat with industrial insecticides or folk remedies, for example, a solution of laundry soap with garlic or infusion of tomato tops.
Advice! Ants carry aphids to garden flowers. Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of anthills on the site.
Recommendations for protecting flowers from diseases and parasites
Diseases and parasites can cause serious damage to a flower and can sometimes even destroy it. Even though Pink Intuition has a very good immune system, preventive measures will not be superfluous:
- Aphid. This parasite very often attacks roses, affecting the above-ground part of the plant. Infestations of aphids lead to a serious weakening of the flower, so if you notice this parasite, you must immediately begin protective measures. Most often, pesticides such as Actellik, Karbofos, etc. are used to solve problems with insects. They are very effective in controlling aphids.
- Pink Intuition is often affected by other parasites: mites, copperheads, sawflies or caterpillars. To combat these insects, use a solution based on 300 grams of chopped onion and 400 grams of tomato foliage. All this is poured with 3 liters of water and left to brew for 6 hours. Then the solution is filtered and 7 liters of clean water are added. Add about 40 g of crushed laundry soap to the finished solution. After its dissolution, the infested areas are treated with the prepared mixture.
- Another unwanted guest may be a spider mite. To get rid of this parasite, you will need to purchase special pesticides such as Acrex or Isofen.
Many gardeners advise giving preference to traditional methods rather than pesticides in case of minor damage.
Application in landscape design
Large-flowered hybrid roses Pink Intuition are classified as highly decorative varieties and are readily used to decorate areas.
