CHERRY GIRL® – cherry-red bedding floribunda rose - Kordes
Cherry Girl® brings a burst of vivid cherry-red colour to your beds and front garden, with clusters of medium-sized, very double blooms on a bushy, compact, upright shrub that stays neat and easy to live with in everyday family gardens. Bred by Kordes and ADR-awarded, it combines decorative impact with reassuring robustness, coping well even where humidity-driven fungal pressure is common in Irish gardens. The 2-litre, own-root plant arrives already well established, so You can simply plant it and let it settle, gradually forming its own balanced bush shape for long-term ornamental value. In an average garden, roots build in year one, top growth fills out in year two, and by year three You enjoy full, richly flowering beds that look thoughtfully designed without complicated maintenance. Its dense, dark green foliage frames the flowers beautifully, and occasional red hips add extra seasonal interest. Ideal for mixing into smaller borders, edging, or grouped planting of 3–5 for a strong, colour-block effect, Cherry Girl® suits both beginners and hobby gardeners who want dependable flowering with straightforward care. With a minimum 40–50 litre container it will also shine on patios or urban fronts, where its compact habit, medium fragrance and long lifespan fit perfectly into relaxed, cottage-style or contemporary schemes, giving You a reliable, long-term feature that simply gets better year after year.

Flower Colour:
The petals are a vivid, full cherry-red shade with a slightly darker centre.
Closed Bud:
The closed buds are deep, velvety cherry red, with a slightly darker shade at their tips.
Freshly Opened Flower:
A subtle lighter cherry red appears on the outer petals, while the inner petals remain an intensely rich colour.
Full Bloom:
When fully open a uniform, vivid cherry-red colour predominates, with the reverse of the petals a paler shade.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The colour of the ageing petals lightens, tending towards a pale cherry-red and crimson tone.
Colour Fading Description:
For most of the bloom it remains a vivid cherry red, but before fading it lightens to a pale cherry red and, in places, to a purplish tone.
Pollinator Attraction:
Fully double (40+ petals) blooms have limited attraction for pollinators because the double flower form conceals the stamens and reduces nectar and pollen accessibility.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Very double (40+ petals); the flowers mostly conceal the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited.

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.
