Why we like this plant
For gardeners who love something a bit different, ‘Magic Harlequin’ is a standout. Its quirky, dual-colour petals add surprise and contrast to garden spaces — and it keeps the performance going all summer long. It’s ideal for those who want a talking point or a break from traditional single-colour roses.

About this plant
‘Magic Harlequin’ is a striking and playful floribunda rose, best known for its unique bi-coloured petals that shift between deep pink and creamy white. No two blooms are quite the same, making this rose a true garden showpiece. Its repeat flowering nature and sturdy, bushy form make it an excellent choice for borders, pots, or even small feature plantings. This rose combines visual drama with ease of care and a mild fragrance.

Planting guide
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with good drainage. Dig in compost or well-rotted manure at planting time, and keep watered until well established.
Care tips
Feed with rose fertiliser in early spring and midsummer. Deadhead regularly to prolong the flowering season. Prune to maintain shape and vigour.
Winter care
Apply a generous mulch in autumn and prune to shape in early spring. Protect young or newly planted specimens with fleece during hard frosts.
