描述
This flower is called “Marriotta,” a miniature rose from New Zealand. It is sometimes also known as “New Zealand Micro Rose.” Although not very popular, it exhibits excellent performance. Marriotta is also referred to as the “Enchanting Flower” by flower enthusiasts. Its flowers and colors are very dazzling, with a heavy double-petal structure and multiple layers of petals. The petals are deep pink with a white edge, resembling a halo and appearing exceptionally vibrant in the sunlight. It looks like a smaller version of a peony, incredibly captivating.
Marriotta’s flowering ability is particularly remarkable. It blooms diligently throughout the year, with abundant flowering during spring and autumn, and sporadic blossoms during summer and early winter. The flowers cluster together in multiple heads, and each flower branch forms a beautiful bouquet, with each bloom exquisite.
As a miniature rose, Marriotta has a low and compact growth habit, reaching a maximum height of around 50 centimeters. It has excellent branching, with many side branches, forming a neat and rounded plant shape. It is suitable for potted cultivation, and the potted display effect is excellent, easily growing into a ball-shaped arrangement. It doesn’t require much space, making it perfect for decorating small balconies and windowsills for ornamental purposes.
