Stock ‘Milla Rose’ is a classic garden favourite, celebrated for its rich rose-pink blooms and beautifully sweet fragrance. A standout in the ‘Milla’ series, this variety is specially bred for strong, upright stems with well-formed, densely packed flower spikes.
​The Milla series typically produces a balanced mix of approximately 50% double flowers and 50% singles.
​
Stem length: Typically reaches 50–60 cm.

Vase life:  Stock ‘Milla’ typically has a vase life of 5 to 7 days, and sometimes up to 10 days with proper post-harvest care. Stock holds well in the vase, especially when picked as the lower florets just begin to open.

Fragrance: Wonderfully fragrant, adding both beauty and scent to floral arrangements.

Productivity: Each plant produces a single, sturdy flowering stem. Successive plantings can provide a continuous harvest.

Growing Tips
  • Plant spacing: Space plants 15–20 cm apart to allow for airflow and strong stem development.
  • Support: May benefit from light support in windy or exposed areas.
  • Flowering season: Blooms from late spring to mid-summer.
  • Growing conditions: Thrives in full sun and prefers rich, well-drained soil. Best grown in cooler seasons or mild summer conditions, as heat can shorten the flowering period.
  • Care tips: Keep soil consistently moist, especially as plants establish.
