ABOUT

The Rosa Claire Marshall, known commonly as a type of rose, is a plant that boasts a striking display of flowers. These roses are characterized by a unique coloration that can be best described as a blend of pastel tones, often featuring shades of soft pink that may gradient into creamy hues, sometimes with a hint of apricot or peach. The petals are typically full and voluptuous, with a velvety texture that is inviting to touch. Each flower comprises multiple layers of petals that unfurl elegantly from a tight, pointed bud to a full, lush bloom. The leaves of the Claire Marshall rose are deep green with a glossy, leathery texture, which provides a perfect backdrop for the softer colors of the flowers. The leaves might have serrated edges and are often shaped in an ovate to an elliptical form, clasping the stems with a strong presence. The overall form of the plant tends to be bushy and well-branched, allowing for clusters of flowers to emerge. The stems may bear thorns, which is a typical characteristic of rose plants. These thorns help protect the plant from being eaten by animals and assist it in climbing if it is situated near supportive structures. Overall, the Claire Marshall rose is a plant that exudes a classic elegance, with its rich foliage and blooms that are often associated with romance and beauty.

- Common names
  Rosa 'Harunite' (PBR) (F).
Toxicity
- To humans
  The plant commonly known as rose is not considered highly toxic to humans. However, like many plants, if ingested in large quantities, parts of the rose such as the leaves or petals could potentially cause stomach upset or gastrointestinal discomfort. This is generally due to the plant's natural defense mechanisms, including thorns and potentially irritating compounds, rather than potent toxins. It is important to note that the hips (fruit of the rose) are often used in teas and jellies and are non-toxic when prepared properly. There is no specific poisoning syndrome associated with ingesting typical quantities of rose plant parts for humans.
- To pets
  Roses, including the variety you've mentioned, are generally considered non-toxic to pets. Pets, such as cats and dogs, may experience mild gastrointestinal upset if they ingest a significant amount of rose petals or leaves, including symptoms like diarrhea or vomiting. However, the thorns on rose bushes can cause physical injury if a pet tries to chew on the stems, potentially leading to puncture wounds or infections. It is always a good idea to discourage pets from chewing on any plants, including roses, to prevent any possible discomfort or injuries.

Water
For the Rosa 'Claire Marshall', it is crucial to maintain evenly moist soil, so watering should be done regularly but with care to avoid waterlogging. The frequency of watering largely depends on weather conditions and soil type, but as a general rule, a deep watering once a week with approximately 1 to 2 gallons should suffice, ensuring that the water penetrates deeply into the soil. During hot and dry spells, water may be needed up to two or three times a week, while during cooler or rainy periods, watering can be reduced. Always check the top couple of inches of soil for dryness before watering again. It’s best to water early in the morning to allow foliage to dry out during the day, which helps prevent diseases.
Light
Rosa 'Claire Marshall' thrives best in full sun, which means it should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. The ideal spot for this rose would be a location that offers bright morning light with some protection from the intense afternoon sun, especially in hotter climates. Full sun exposure encourages healthy growth and abundant flowering.
Temperature
Rosa 'Claire Marshall' can generally tolerate a wide range of temperatures but performs optimally when the ambient temperature is between 65°F and 75°F. The plant can survive minimum winter temperatures down to around 10°F, but spring frosts can damage young shoots. Protecting the rose from extreme cold and providing good air circulation will help prevent frost damage and disease.
Pruning
Prune Rosa 'Claire Marshall' in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins, to promote healthy growth and flowering. Remove dead or diseased wood, thin out crowded branches, and shape the plant by cutting back by one-third to one-half of the previous year's growth. Pruning should be done annually to keep the rose bush vigorous and to improve air circulation, which reduces the risk of disease.
Cleaning
As needed
Soil
For the best soil mix for roses, use a well-draining loam with organic material like compost. Aim for a pH between 6.0 to 6.5 for optimal growth.
Repotting
Roses generally do not require frequent repotting; repot every 2-3 years or when the plant appears to be root-bound.
Humidity & Misting
Ideal humidity conditions for roses are moderate, between 40-60%. Avoid high humidity to prevent fungal diseases.
Suitable locations
- Indoor
  Ensure bright light, good air flow, and consistent watering for indoor roses.
- Outdoor
  Plant in sunny spot with well-draining soil and ample space.
- Hardiness zone
  5-9 USDA
Life cycle
The Rosa 'Claire Marshall' plant, commonly known as a type of floribunda rose, begins its life cycle when a seed germinates, typically in early spring under proper conditions of warmth and moisture. The seedling stage follows, where the young plant establishes a root system and sprouts its first leaves. As it enters the vegetative stage, it develops a stronger stem and more foliage, preparing for the flowering stage. During the flowering stage, typically from late spring to fall, 'Claire Marshall' produces colorful, fragrant blooms in cycles, attracting pollinators for reproduction. After pollination, the plant may produce rose hips (fruit containing seeds), which, once matured, can be dispersed to give rise to new plants. Finally, the plant enters dormancy in winter, conserving energy to restart the cycle in the next growing season.
Propogation
- Propogation time
  Late winter to early spring
- Rosa Claire Marshall, commonly known as a type of garden rose, is most commonly propagated through the use of softwood cuttings. This method typically takes place in late spring to early summer when the plant's new growth is still tender yet mature enough to handle cutting and rooting. To propagate by this method, a healthy, non-flowering stem around 6 to 8 inches (15 to 20 cm) in length is selected. The stem is cut at a 45-degree angle just below a leaf node, and all but the top few leaves are removed. The cut end is frequently dipped in a rooting hormone to encourage root development and then planted in a well-draining soil mix or potting medium. The cutting should be kept moist but not waterlogged, and in a warm environment with indirect sunlight. Roots generally develop within a few weeks, after which the new plant can gradually acclimate to outdoor conditions.
