ADSON VON MELK™ – yellow floribunda bedding rose – Delbard
If You would like a rose that simply settles in and performs, ADSON VON MELK™ gives You a bushy, upright shape covered in clusters of golden blooms that light up the garden from early summer onwards. Its vivid, deep-yellow flowers keep their warm colour remarkably well, hardly fading even in changeable weather, so Your beds stay bright and tidy-looking for longer. As a floribunda bedding rose it offers generous, repeat flowering in compact clusters, ideal for front gardens, smaller borders and low hedges where You want colour without complicated pruning. The dense, glossy foliage forms a solid green backdrop, helping the plant look full and healthy even between flushes. Grown on its own roots in a 2-litre pot, it arrives well established, ready to plant so it can gradually shape itself to Your soil and care routine with stability over many years. In Irish conditions it copes well once given basic drainage, helping it manage our typical rain-laden, heavier soils in exposed family plots. Over time You can expect a reliable development rhythm – strong root growth in year one, more shoots and structure in year two, and full ornamental impact with abundant flowering from year three onwards. Its mild, yellow-fruity fragrance adds a gentle, pleasant note near paths, while the medium maintenance level keeps care tasks reasonable for busy beginners and hobby gardeners alike.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden bedding strip by the path
Compact, bushy habit and small, double flowers in clusters create a neat, formal-looking line that stays within bounds, ideal for edging a path or drive where You want cheerful colour with moderate care for beginners
Small group planting in a family front garden
Planted in groups of 3–5, the deep golden-yellow colour with very good fade resistance makes a bright focal point that looks composed from the street, even in typical Irish wet, heavier soils once basic drainage is in place for beginners
Low, flowering hedge along a boundary
Its bushy, evenly branching structure and 110–150 cm height suit low hedging; regular repeat flowering fills gaps so the hedge reads as a continuous band of yellow without demanding intricate pruning, reassuring time-pressed beginners
Mixed cottage-style bed with perennials
The dense, glossy green foliage and cup-shaped flowers combine well with soft perennials such as baby’s-breath or biting stonecrop, giving a relaxed cottage feel while the rose itself stays structurally tidy, helping design-shy beginners
Specimen rose near a seating area
As a single specimen it forms a rounded, bushy shrub with plenty of bloom clusters and a light yellow-fruity scent that is pleasant but not overpowering, adding gentle atmosphere for seating areas and patios favoured by fragrance-loving beginners
Own-root rose for long-term garden structure
The 2-litre own-root plant establishes reliably, then builds a balanced, bushy framework that regenerates well from the base over time, supporting a long-lived planting that adapts gradually to Your garden routine and rewards patient beginners
Medium-sized border with simple care routine
Medium disease resistance and moderate maintenance needs suit gardens where You prefer occasional, straightforward care rather than intensive spraying or complex pruning, offering a dependable yellow accent for busy, low-fuss Irish garden beginners
Large container on a sunny patio
In a 40–50 litre container with good compost and regular watering, its upright, bushy growth and strong colour retention give a long season of interest on balconies or patios, even in breezier, coastal spots that attract space-conscious urban beginners

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Trade name ADSON VON MELK™; floribunda bed rose from the Bedding rose collection. Registered cultivar name not specified; ARS exhibition name not recorded. Verified for authenticity for pharmarosa.ie premium bronze range.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Georges Delbard, France. Introduced and registered in 2004 as a floribunda bedding type. Parentage is unknown; selection focused on strong colour, bedding performance and reliable garden display.
Growth and structure
Bushy, upright shrub 110–150 cm high with 80–120 cm spread. Dense foliage and well-branched framework create a full, rounded shape suited to beds, borders, hedging and specimen use in average-sized gardens.
Flower morphology
Double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, carried in clusters of 3–5 per stem. Small flower size (0.5–1.5 in) but produced freely. Remontant, with an abundant second flush following the main early-summer display.
Colour and phenology
Deep golden-yellow flowers with a warm tone; outer petals RHS 14B, inner 13B. Colour retention is very good, with only slight fading as blooms age, so beds maintain a uniform, warm yellow appearance through the season.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, understated scent with a light yellow-fruity character. Not overpowering, making it suitable near seating areas or paths. Primarily grown for colour and bedding effect rather than strong perfume or cut-flower use.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip production is limited due to the double flower form, but occasional small spherical orange-red hips 6–10 mm may develop, adding a modest late-season accent without significant self-seeding issues.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (USDA zone 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3). Disease resistance rated medium for black spot, powdery mildew and rust, requiring basic monitoring and occasional protection under high-pressure conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with reasonable drainage. Spacing: 65 cm for mass plantings, 55 cm for hedges, 100 cm as a specimen; 2.4–2.7 plants/m² in beds. Suits flowerbeds, parks and specimen planting in family gardens and urban schemes.
ADSON VON MELK™ offers vivid, long-lasting golden flowers, a bushy, reliable shape and own-root durability that helps it settle for years in your family garden, so you can plant it with confidence and enjoy its colour at your own pace.

Colour Fading Description:
During opening, the deep golden yellow only slightly fades, and even in the final stage it retains its warm yellow character.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39 petals) flowers attract pollinators only poorly, as the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit their appeal.

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.
