Baby Blanket® bedding floribunda rose – KORfullwind
If You are looking for a reliable rose that simply settles in and gets on with flowering, Baby Blanket® is an easy-going bedding floribunda that spreads into a low, soft blanket of bloom. Its compact, spreading habit quickly knits together borders and front garden beds, giving a neat, finished look without complicated pruning or shaping. The small, pastel pink, semi-double flowers appear in generous clusters all summer, fading to a near-white veil that keeps the plant looking light and airy even between flushes. With dense, glossy dark green foliage and only sparse thorns, it is straightforward to look after and pleasant to work around, even in small spaces. As an own-root plant it matures steadily, building a long-lived, well-shaped shrub that copes well with our damp Irish conditions and the challenges of humidity and fungal pressure. In the first year it concentrates on roots, in the second on stronger shoots, and by the third year it shows its full ornamental value in a stable, rounded carpet of colour. Baby Blanket® suits mixed cottage-style plantings, low hedging and family gardens, and also performs happily in a generous container, offering a dependable base for relaxed, low-fuss planting schemes that still feel romantic and inviting.

Low edging along paths or drives

Small groups in cottage-style borders

Mixed bed with shrubs and perennials
The floribunda flowering and dark, glossy foliage provide steady structure at the front of the border, tying taller shrubs and perennials together while remaining simple to manage for beginner gardeners

In a minimum 40–50 litre container with good drainage, its spreading habit drapes gently over the rim, giving long-season colour on patios and balconies, even near the coast where wind and damp air can be challenging for urban dwellers

The low, rounded form, sparse thorns and modest height make it easier to place near lawns and play areas, offering colour and interest without towering stems, suitable for shared spaces for families with children

Growth and structure
Low, spreading shrub 65–95 cm high with 130–170 cm spread; dense branching and glossy dark green foliage; sparsely thorned shoots; forms a wide carpet-like bush suited to ground-cover and edging uses.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, cup-shaped clusters with 13–25 petals; small blooms around 0.5–1.5 inches; floribunda-style trusses; remontant with plentiful second flush, giving many small flowers rather than a few large ones.
Colour and phenology
Pastel soft pink with warm tone; buds mid-pink, opening light pink with paler edges; colour fades to very pale pink, almost white; overall effect is a soft, even veil of colour over a long flowering season.
Fragrance and aroma
Very weak fragrance, only a softly sweet aroma close up; grown primarily for its colour effect and ground-cover habit rather than scent, making it suitable where fragrance is not a key requirement.
Rose hip characteristics
Produces moderate numbers of small, spherical orange-red hips, about 6–10 mm in diameter; decorative late-season accent but generally secondary to the long flowering display in most garden settings.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); medium resistance to black spot, mildew and rust; tolerates heat if watered regularly; may need occasional protection and care in wet seasons.

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.
