Paeonia 'Julia Rose' | Julia Rose Peony
DESCRIPTION
Paeonia ‘Julia Rose’ is an Itoh hybrid semi-double peony variety. It produces large, rounded blooms that open from rich cherry-red buds and gradually fade through warm shades of apricot, salmon, and rose before settling into soft yellow. Multiple color stages often appear on the same plant, adding seasonal interest. The blossoms are lightly fragrant and appear in late spring to early summer. Broad petals form a loose, layered structure around golden stamens, held on sturdy stems that remain upright without support.
Julia Rose’ combines strong growth with excellent ornamental traits. Its foliage is deeply divided and retains a healthy, green appearance throughout the season, providing structure even after flowering ends. The plant offers good performance as a cut flower, with blooms that hold well in vases and add soft, evolving tones to floral arrangements.
