Abracadabra ® Fantasia® – red-yellow floribunda bed rose
If You would like a truly unique rose that almost looks different on every flower, Abracadabra ® Fantasia® brings striped, red-and-yellow blooms that turn an ordinary front garden into something magical. Its bushy, upright, medium-sized habit makes it easy to fit into beds and borders in a family garden, and it copes reliably with Ireland’s wetter spells and humid summers where good air flow and drainage are in place. This floribunda flowers in waves through the season, providing a steady show of colour for small groups of 1–5 plants along paths, in front beds or as a cheerful focal point. Own-root plants like this one establish steadily, building a long-lived, balanced shrub that can regenerate from its own base rather than from a graft. Give it a sunny spot, tidy off the older blooms now and then, and You gain a striking, conversation‑starting rose that remains surprisingly manageable for beginners who want interest without complicated techniques, while experienced gardeners appreciate its reliable, decorative impact in imaginative cottage or urban planting schemes.

In a substantial pot with good compost and drainage, its upright structure and steady flowering turn a balcony or paved patio into a colourful corner, especially valuable where ground is limited for city-dwelling rose enthusiasts
Small group planting of 3–5 shrubs in a bed
Planted together at recommended spacing, the shrubs gradually knit into a low hedge of colour, giving a coherent, long‑term picture that matures over the first few years for householders wanting dependable garden structure
Edging along a path or driveway
The medium height and dense foliage create a defined line that guides the eye, while the flowers add warmth without blocking views, a neat choice for those who like clearly framed yet welcoming approaches
Pollinator-aware decorative corner
Semi-double blooms offer some access to pollen and nectar, and when combined with other insect-friendly plants the rose contributes visual drama to a corner that still supports wildlife, appealing to nature-conscious garden owners
Coastal or exposed garden bed with reasonable shelter
Once established, it handles breezy, damp conditions provided soil drains well after heavy rain, suiting Irish gardens where managing regular rainfall and soil moisture is as important as choosing the right planting partner

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda shrub rose, registered as KORamsaro, marketed as Abracadabra ® Fantasia®; bed and flowerbed type for ornamental garden use and exhibition under the name Abracadabra.
Origin and breeding
Bred in Germany by W. Kordes & Sons around 2004, introduced in 2014 by W. Kordes’ Söhne as a decorative floribunda rose with striking striped flowers for general garden planting.
Growth and structure
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 80–110 cm high and 50–80 cm wide, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a medium-sized, well-filled garden bush.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, cupped blooms with around 13–25 petals, borne in clusters on branching stems; large flower size within floribundas, and remontant habit providing a generous second flush later in the season.
Colour and phenology
Deep carmine-red base petals streaked and splashed with lemon-yellow, cream and peach tones; colour holds well in sun with only moderate lightening, giving a distinctive striped effect throughout the flowering period.
Fragrance and aroma
Very light scent with a delicate, classic rose character that is barely noticeable in the garden, chosen primarily for visual impact rather than strong perfume, making it suitable near seating for sensitive noses.
Rose hip characteristics
Produces moderate quantities of small, spherical rose hips about 6–10 mm in diameter, coloured orange-red, adding a subtle decorative element in late season if spent flowers are not removed.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish Zon 3) with moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; benefits from regular care and good site choice to stay healthy.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers a sunny position with well-drained soil; spacing 50–90 cm depending on use, density around 2.8–3.2 plants per m² for mass plantings; deadhead spent blooms and water during longer dry periods for best display.
Abracadabra ® Fantasia® offers eye-catching striped flowers, compact shrub growth and reliable repeat blooming from a long-lived own-root plant, making it a practical, colourful choice You can plant with confidence and enjoy over many seasons.
Flower Colour:
The petal ground colour is deep carmine red, crossed by lemon-yellow stripes.
Closed Bud:
Raspberry to crimson-red base, with white marbling and scattered speckling visible at the edges.
Freshly Opened Flower:
On a vivid carmine-red ground, irregular cream–butter-yellow, in places peach-coloured streaks and splashes appear on the inner surface.
Full Bloom:
A red–white 'striped' effect dominates; the red areas tend towards a slightly raspberry shade and the whites may turn creamy.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The red tone softens, turning to a burgundy‑raspberry; the light bands can take on a creamy, slightly yellowish hue.
Pollinator Attraction:
Semidouble (simple/semidouble/double) 13–25‑petal flowers moderately attract pollinators, as the semidouble form and partially obscured stamens reduce pollen and nectar accessibility compared with simple blooms.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
