CHERRY™ – red hybrid tea rose - Tanjga
If You are looking for a rose that simply fits into everyday Irish garden life, CHERRY™ gives You an easy balance of elegance, colour and confidence. This compact, bushy hybrid tea produces fully double, cup-shaped blooms in a rich cherry-red tone that keeps its depth even in bright summer light, so Your beds stay visually neat and refined over a long season. Its medium height and dense foliage make it ideal for front gardens and edging where You want order without fuss, and it responds well as a cut-flower for the house too. As an own-root plant in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre pot, it’s delivered well established, prepared to settle into gardens that can experience prolonged rain and heavy, moisture-holding soils, helping it cope reliably with humidity and clay conditions. In year one it focuses on roots, in year two the bush fills out, and by year three You enjoy its full ornamental value with stable structure, long lifespan and a planting that matures naturally with Your home.
Use cases
| Target area |
Reason |
| Front garden feature rose |
Compact, bushy growth to around 60–90 cm keeps front gardens tidy without dominating windows or paths, while the cherry-red, velvety blooms add a clear focal point that is easy to shape with simple annual pruning for beginners |
| Small flower bed beside the house |
Dense foliage and good colour retention create a well-filled, orderly bed even in a small space; plant singly or in groups of three at 50–75 cm spacing for a composed, medium-maintenance display that suits busy homeowners |
| Low edging along paths or drives |
The moderate height and compact habit allow You to form a low, formal edging line that stays controlled; regular deadheading once a week in summer rewards You with continuous flowering that works well for tidy-minded garden owners |
| Cut-flower row in a family garden |
Large, fully double hybrid tea blooms on straight stems are ideal for cutting, so a short row of plants can supply vases indoors from late spring to autumn, making this a good choice if You like bringing flowers inside as a hobby |
| Mixed border with shrubs and perennials |
Its mid-height, compact structure slots easily between lower perennials and taller shrubs, giving a clear block of red colour without overwhelming neighbours; it combines well with cranesbills or low grasses for relaxed cottage-style plantings |
| Urban front garden with limited space |
Where space is tight, a single CHERRY™ by the gate or doorstep offers a smart, upright bush that does not sprawl, while its reliable repeat flowering brings interest through the season for time-pressed city garden dwellers |
| Large patio container or courtyard pot |
Performs well in a 40–50 litre container with regular watering and feeding; the compact frame suits courtyards, paved areas and balconies where You want a strong shot of colour without complex care tasks, ideal for container-loving gardeners |
| Clay or high-rainfall family gardens |
The own-root plant adapts gradually to heavier, moisture-holding Irish soils, forming a stable bush that copes well where drainage is less than perfect and periods of prolonged rain are common, supporting less experienced country gardeners |
Decorating ideas

Fully double, cup-shaped hybrid tea blooms, 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on stems; large flower size in the 7–10 cm range, with good repeat flowering and a strongly remontant habit through the season. |
| Colour and phenology |
Mid-red, velvety flowers with cherry-red tones; buds open dark and glossy, then lighten slightly as they age, with generally very good colour retention, though strong sun can cause some visible fading. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, pleasantly sweet rose scent that is noticeable at close range without being overpowering; suitable for small seating areas or cut stems indoors where a subtle perfume is preferred. |

Hip set is limited due to fully double blooms; where formed, hips are ellipsoid, about 10–14 mm in diameter, in an orange-red shade that may add some discreet autumn interest. |
| Resistance and hardiness |
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); disease resistance is medium to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so occasional protective treatments are recommended in humid seasons. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, edging, containers and cutting; prefers moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, regular feeding and deadheading; spacing 40–75 cm, own-root plants establish reliably in 2-litre containers. |
