ABOUT
The Rosa Poetry in Motion, also known simply as the rose, presents itself as an exquisite flowering plant with a particular set of aesthetic features. Its blooms are characterized by a full and rounded form, often exuding a romantic allure. Typically, these roses unfurl to showcase swirling petals that gracefully overlap in a harmonious spiral, reminiscent of traditional English roses. The petals themselves embody a delicate pink hue, often edged with a softer or deeper contrast that adds depth and vibrancy to each flower. As the roses mature, the petals may fade to a paler version of their original color, providing a sense of gentle transition in the plant's ongoing display. Beneath the blooms, the foliage provides a rich backdrop of glossy, dark green leaves. The leaves contribute to the overall elegance of the rose, with their shiny surface reflecting light and adding to the rose's luminosity. Their edges are typically serrated, and their arrangement along the stems is orderly and architecturally pleasing. The plant itself exhibits a bushy and well-branched habit, encouraging a profusion of flowers that create a visually impactful display. The stems are robust, often possessing thorns, which is a characteristic feature of rose plants. These thorns aid in protecting the plant from various herbivores and add to the rose's wild and natural charm. Overall, the appearance of the Rosa Poetry in Motion is that of a classic rose, with densely petaled flowers and vibrant foliage, presenting gardeners and admirers with a timeless and enchanting floral experience.

ToxicityTo humans
Hybrid Tea Rose is not considered toxic to humans. Ingesting large quantities of the plant, especially the leaves or stems, can result in mild stomach upset due to the fibrous plant material, but it does not contain toxins that are known to cause serious harm or poisoning in humans. Contact with the thorns can lead to physical injury and possibly secondary infection if the wound is not properly cared for.
To pets
Hybrid Tea Rose is generally considered non-toxic to pets. However, similar to humans, ingestion in large amounts may cause gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting or diarrhea due to the fibrous nature of the plant. The thorns can also pose a risk of physical injury to pets, potentially leading to puncture wounds or scratches. It is always best to discourage pets from chewing on rose plants to prevent any potential discomfort or injury.

WaterPoetry in Motion roses, like other hybrid teas, should be watered deeply once a week, providing about 1 to 1.5 gallons of water for each plant to encourage deep root growth. During hot or dry periods, water twice a week. It's best to water early in the morning to allow the foliage to dry before nightfall, reducing the risk of fungal diseases. Use a soaker hose or drip irrigation to deliver water directly to the base of the plant, minimizing moisture on the leaves. Avoid overhead watering to prevent leaf wetness and potential disease issues.
LightPoetry in Motion roses require full sun to thrive, meaning they should receive at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. Place them in a spot in the garden where they can enjoy unobstructed sunlight, especially in the morning. Good sunlight is critical for flower development and overall health of the rose bush.
TemperaturePoetry in Motion roses grow best in regions with temperate climates, preferring temperatures between 65°F and 75°F for optimal growth. They can survive in temperatures as low as 20°F during dormancy in winter but should be protected from prolonged periods of frost. Extremely high temperatures above 90°F may stress the plant and warrant additional care, such as increased watering.
PruningPrune Poetry in Motion roses in late winter or early spring, when the plant is still dormant but just before new growth starts. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased canes, and thin out the center to increase air circulation. Prune to shape the plant and encourage new growth by cutting back by about one-third of the previous year’s growth. Annual pruning ensures the plant remains healthy, encourages blooming, and maintains an attractive form.
CleaningAs needed
SoilHybrid Tea Roses like Rosa 'Poetry in Motion' thrive best in well-draining soil with a mix of two parts loam, one part peat moss or compost, and one part perlite or coarse sand. The pH for this rose should ideally be between 6.0 and 6.5.

Life cycleThe life cycle of the Hybrid Tea Rose, commonly known as Rosa Poetry in Motion 'Harelan', begins with seed germination (although commercially, it is often propagated through cuttings), where the seedling emerges from dormancy and starts to grow roots and shoots. The vegetative stage follows, where the rose plant develops a strong root system, foliage, and stems, gradually maturing and increasing in size. As the rose reaches maturity, it enters the flowering stage, producing its characteristic, fragrant blooms in varying shades. After pollination by insects or wind, the flowers develop into fruits, commonly called rose hips, which contain seeds for the next generation. In subsequent years, the plant undergoes periods of active growth and dormancy, continually producing new flowers each season. Finally, the rose plant may experience a decline stage due to age, disease, or environmental stresses, ultimately leading to its death if conditions do not improve or interventions are not made.
PropogationPropogation time
Spring to early summer
The Rosa 'Poetry in Motion' = 'Harelan' (PBR) (HT), commonly referred to as hybrid tea rose, is best propagated through the process of budding. This method involves taking a bud from the hybrid tea rose and grafting it onto the rootstock of a more vigorous and disease-resistant rose. The best time to perform this procedure is during the late summer months, as the rose plants are actively growing and can heal from the graft more quickly. In budding, a T-shaped cut is made in the rootstock and a bud from the cultivar is inserted into the incision; then it is wrapped tightly to hold it in place. This method enables gardeners to rapidly produce multiple plants that maintain the genetic characteristics of the Rosa 'Poetry in Motion'. It typically takes about a year before the new plants are ready to be transplanted into their permanent location.
