The array of gorgeous copper-tinged pink blooms you get on one Peony 'Julia Rose' plant is enough to make your eyes pop out on stalks - this colourway is sensational! Each bloom is unique in its variation of apricot, copper and dusky pink - three of the most adored colours of the moment - all blended together to create the kind of peony plant that dreams are made of.
Whether you like to pick a posy of peonies in early summer of leave them to do their thing in the garden, this pretty variety should be on your list. Intersectional (Itoh) Peony 'Julia Rose' is easy to grow and returns every year to treat you to another fabulous show.
This is a remarkable itoh peony, with stunning large, silky, semi-double blooms that change colour over time. They start with buds of cherry red, opening to young blooms of apricot-orange, and pass through rose-pink with an inner glow of yellow, coming from the depth of the petals. The plant can display three types of colour at once; each bloom can be 10-15cm / 4-6" wide, and there could be as many as 30 open on a plant – making it a truly spectacular garden feature. The flowers also have a rich, spicy fragrance, too. The thick, long, deeply divided leaves become beautifully burnished with a silvery sheen in autumn. 'Julia Rose' will not require staking.

Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
