Ima

Growing to 120 cm tall with strong, straight stems ideal for cutting, it forms a bushy, productive shrub suited for cutting gardens or large patio planters. Each bloom is a visual delight: starting as a tight, rounded bud, it unfurls into a perfectly symmetrical cup shape with firm petals that hold form beautifully from bud to full bloom—unlike “Victoria’s Secret,” its cup shape stays more defined, adding a classic touch to every arrangement. The color magic takes center stage: bright orange buds mature to pale orange centers framed by soft pink outer petals, creating a dreamy two – tone effect that mimics a summer sunset. With a delicate, subtle fragrance, it’s ideal for any space, from romantic dining tables to fresh, airy offices, and its repeat – blooming habit ensures abundant flushes of blooms from spring to fall, letting you craft endless elegant bouquets that shine in any setting. For best results, plant Ima in full sun (6+ hours daily) and well – drained, fertile soil to boost stem strength and color vibrancy. Light pruning in late winter (cut back to 3–5 healthy buds per stem) and regular deadheading encourage continuous blooms. Water deeply 1–2 times weekly, and feed with a phosphorus – rich rose fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season to fuel its heavy flushes. Its firm petals resist wilting and bruising during transport, and the upright growth habit needs minimal staking, making it a reliable cut – flower star for both home gardeners and floral designers. This Dutch – bred gem blends sunset hues with timeless cup form, turning every bunch into a warm, romantic display that captures the magic of fading daylight.
