CLARITA™ – orange-red hybrid tea rose – Meilland
With its vivid orange-red blooms and reliable reblooming, CLARITA™ is an easy-going hybrid tea rose that brings a touch of elegance to everyday Irish gardens. You receive a well-rooted, own-root plant in a 2-litre pot that is simple to plant and quick to settle, even where soils are heavy and need thoughtful drainage. In its first year it quietly builds roots, in the second it develops strong shoots, and by the third season it shows its full ornamental value, forming a bushy, dark green backdrop to glowing, cup-shaped flowers. Low-maintenance yet rewarding, its good disease resistance and compact habit make it ideal for front gardens, borders and containers, while the mild, harmonious fragrance and long-stemmed blooms lend themselves beautifully to cutting for the house.

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as MEIbyster, marketed as Clarita™ hybrid tea rose MEIbyster; ARS approved exhibition name Clarita, belonging to the hybrid tea rose commercial group.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Alain Meilland, Meilland International, France, from ‘Tropicana’ × (‘Zambra’ × ‘Romantica’); introduced and registered in 1971, reflecting classic hybrid tea breeding lines.
Growth and structure
Bushy, moderately dense shrub reaching about 70–100 cm high and 50–70 cm wide, with dark green, glossy foliage and moderate thorniness, forming a compact, upright garden presence.
Flower morphology
Large, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne mainly solitary on stems; remontant habit with an abundant second flush, making it suitable for cutting and continuous display.
Colour and phenology
Vivid orange-red with a slight vermilion undertone; buds deep orange-red, opening to intense tones that gradually soften to pale coral as they age, giving gentle colour variation across the shrub.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, subtly scented rose fragrance with a soft, harmonious character; noticeable at close range near seating areas or when used as a cut flower, without becoming overpowering indoors.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is usually limited due to double flowers; when present, produces occasional 12–18 mm ovoid, orange-red hips that provide a modest autumn accent rather than a main feature.
Resistance and hardiness
Shows good resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately −15 to −12 °C (RHS H6, Swedish zone 2, USDA 7b), suitable for most mild, temperate Irish locations.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny sites with well-drained soil; spacing 60 cm for mass planting, 50 cm for hedges, 90 cm as a specimen. Low maintenance with routine feeding, watering and deadheading for peak display.
CLARITA™ offers vibrant orange-red blooms, dependable repeat flowering and good disease resistance on a long-lived own-root plant, giving You an easy, elegant garden feature that should serve You well for many years, if You would like that.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
CLARITA™ – orange-red hybrid tea rose - Meilland
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very full (fully double) flower form makes it less attractive to pollinators, because the dense petal formation typical of fully double blooms conceals the stamens and limits their accessibility.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partially cover the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited; it is primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally 12–18 mm diameter, ovoid, orange-red rose hips are produced.

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.
