ABOUT
The Rosa 'Marinette' (also known as 'Auscam'), is a type of rose with a charming and beautiful appearance. This plant is adorned with flowers that exhibit an attractive blend of colors, typically shades of pink that can range from soft, pastel hues to a more vibrant, eye-catching pink. The petals are often delicately ruffled or slightly curled, adding a touch of romantic elegance to the plant's overall look. Blossoms on the Rosa 'Marinette' are usually full and rounded, with multiple layers of petals that converge to create a classic rose shape. When fully opened, the flowers are dense with petals, providing a lavish and lush visual. The center of the flower may display a slightly different tone of pink or even hints of yellow, giving depth and contrast to the bloom. The foliage of this rose complements its flowers, typically being a rich green color. The leaves are typically glossy, providing a backdrop that highlights the vibrant pink flowers. The leaves' edges may be serrated, which is common in roses, lending a textured appearance to the plant's overall greenery. This variety of rose may also be noted for the attractive way its blooms are displayed, often in clusters that make the flowering display even more impressive. Buds may start as more pointed or rounded shapes before unfurling into the full flower. As it is a rose, thorns are to be expected along the stems, serving as a natural defense mechanism for the plant. In sum, the Rosa 'Marinette' is celebrated for its striking pink flowers, lush layering of petals, and glossy green foliage that together create a picturesque and enchanting addition to any garden or landscape where roses are appreciated.

WaterThe English Rose 'Marinette' requires regular watering to maintain evenly moist soil, especially during its first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering should be done so that the soil is moist to about 18 inches deep, which usually equates to 1 to 2 gallons of water per week, depending on weather conditions. Avoid overhead watering to prevent diseases and instead aim for the base of the plant. During hot, dry periods, increase the frequency of watering but always allow the soil to dry a bit between waterings. In the cooler seasons or in areas with higher rainfall, reduce the amount to avoid waterlogged soil.
LightEnglish Roses like 'Marinette' thrive best in a location that receives full sun for a minimum of 6 hours per day. The ideal spot for planting is one where they can enjoy morning sunlight that dries the dew from their leaves, which helps to prevent disease. Partial shade is tolerated, but full sun exposure ensures the best bloom and plant vigor.
TemperatureEnglish Roses such as 'Marinette' prefer temperatures between 65°F and 75°F for optimal growth but can survive in temperatures as low as 32°F and as high as 90°F. Keep them protected from harsh winter conditions with mulch and ensure good air circulation to maintain a stable temperature around the plant.
PruningEnglish Roses such as 'Marinette' should be pruned to promote healthy growth, remove dead wood, and shape the plant. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring when new growth begins. Depending on the climate, this is commonly around the time forsythias bloom. Cut back the canes by about one-third to one-half, removing any damaged or diseased wood and any crossing branches to encourage good air circulation.
CleaningAs needed
SoilThe best soil mix for Rosa Marinette, commonly known as a variety of Shrub Rose, should be well-draining with good fertility. An ideal mix would include equal parts loam, peat moss or compost, and sharp sand or perlite. Incorporate a slow-release fertilizer into the mix to support healthy growth. The pH level for Shrub Roses should be slightly acidic to neutral, ranging from 6.0 to 7.0.
RepottingShrub Roses like Rosa Marinette typically do not need to be repotted frequently as they are often grown outdoors. If grown in containers, they should be repotted every 2-3 years in the early spring, using fresh soil mix and a slightly larger pot to accommodate root growth.
Humidity & MistingShrub Roses such as Rosa Marinette do not require high humidity and are well-suited to the average outdoor environment. They thrive in natural air circulation, and the ambient humidity typical of most temperate climates is sufficient, without the need for any special humidity adjustments.
Suitable locationsIndoor
Ensure full sun, well-draining soil, and infrequent watering.
Outdoor
Plant in full sun, enrich soil with compost, ensure good drainage.
Hardiness zone
5-9 USDA.
Life cycleRosa 'Marinette' begins its life cycle with seed germination, where the seeds require a period of cold stratification before they can sprout. Once the seeds germinate, the seedlings develop a root system and a shoot that will grow into a stem and form leaves. As the plant matures, it forms buds that eventually bloom into the characteristic flowers of a rose, which are typically lush and fragrant. After pollination, often aided by insects, the flowers develop into fruit (rose hips), containing seeds for the next generation. During the growing season, the rose will go through cycles of blooming, where proper care including pruning, watering, and fertilizing is essential for continued health and flower production. Finally, Rosa 'Marinette' will enter a period of dormancy during the colder months, dropping leaves in temperate climates and resting until the next growing season.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring-Early Summer
Rosa Marinette, more commonly known as a variety of garden rose, is most effectively propagated through the method of softwood cuttings. This technique is usually carried out in late spring or early summer, when the plant is actively growing and the stems are tender enough to take root but mature enough to survive independently. To propagate by this method, a gardener would cut a stem around 6 inches (15 centimeters) in length, just below a leaf node, from a healthy parent plant using a sharp, sterilized pair of scissors or secateurs. The lower leaves are removed, and the cut end is often dipped in a rooting hormone to encourage root growth. The cutting is then placed in a well-draining soil mix, ensuring at least one or two leaf nodes are below the soil surface. The environment should be kept humid by covering the cutting with a plastic dome or placing it in a greenhouse, and the soil should be kept consistently moist. Roots typically form within a few weeks to a couple of months, after which the new plant can be transferred to a more permanent location.
