The large, semi-double to double flowers reach up to 20 cm across and carry a warm, spicy fragrance over a long bloom period.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSturdy stems hold the blooms without staking, well clear of glossy, deeply divided dark green foliage that stays tidy through summer before dying back in autumn. It forms a compact, rounded bush around 70 cm tall, takes full sun to part shade in rich, free-draining soil, and shrugs off the diseases that trouble herbaceous peonies. Cut in bud, the blooms last well over a week in the vase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBred by the celebrated American hybridiser Roger Anderson (also behind the landmark yellow Itoh 'Bartzella') 'Julia Rose' remains one of the most sought-after intersectional peonies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long-lived, low-maintenance showpiece whose every bloom changes colour as it ages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower form: Semi-double to double, up to 20 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Cherry-red ageing through apricot and peach to yellow, purple-flushed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature height: 70 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloom season: Mid to late (late spring–early summer)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight needs: Full sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrost tolerance: Hardy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Spring Park Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Bare Rooted","offer_id":52079270396215,"sku":"20015282","price":49.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 mm","offer_id":52079094923575,"sku":"20002908","price":69.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"250 mm","offer_id":52079094956343,"sku":"20002909","price":79.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false},{"title":"300 mm","offer_id":52079094989111,"sku":"20002910","price":89.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/5499\/2695\/files\/JuliaRose_7987208c-0b74-4813-aa1f-bc7539048e14.jpg?v=1784108471","url":"https:\/\/springpark.com.au\/products\/itoh-peony-julia-rose","provider":"Spring Park Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
