CSODÁLATOS MANDARIN – lemon‑yellow hybrid tea rose - Márk
If You dream of a rose that feels at home in typical Irish gardens, CSODÁLATOS MANDARIN brings a bright, lemon‑yellow centre to beds and borders while coping well with moist conditions and heavier soils influenced by coastal weather. Its strong, classic hybrid tea blooms appear on elegant, upright stems that are perfect for cutting, so You can enjoy the same rich fragrance indoors in vases as well as outdoors in the garden. This upright, medium‑sized bush fits easily into smaller front‑garden beds, mixed borders and cottage‑style plantings, creating a tidy look without complicated design. As an own‑root rose, it builds a reliable framework over the years, supporting a long ornamental lifespan and good regeneration after pruning. Plant it in a generous 40–50 litre container on a sunny patio or balcony, or in a well‑drained border, and expect it to focus on roots in year one, build stronger flowering shoots in year two and by year three reach its full showy potential.

| Origin and breeding |
Hybrid tea bred by Márk Gergely in Hungary around 2000; parentage and breeding company not recorded; initially distributed by PharmaRosa Ltd.; introduction and registration years are not documented for this cultivar. |
| Growth and structure |
Medium‑height bush about 55–80 cm tall and 50–70 cm wide; upright growth habit with moderately dense, medium‑green glossy foliage; moderately thorny stems, suitable for structured beds, borders and smaller group plantings. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double flowers with approximately 26–39 petals; classic high‑centred, pointed hybrid tea form on mostly solitary stems; remontant with abundant second flush; cut‑rose style blooms ideal for vases and formal display planting. |
| Colour and phenology |
Moderately bright lemon‑yellow overall; vivid lemon buds, fresh flowers bright lemon above paler reverse; centres strong yellow fading to creamy, then almost white edges over time; colour retention weak, giving a soft, blended effect in beds. |

Strong, rich rose scent with a full, classic fragrance character; fragrance is noticeable both on the bush and in the vase, making it an excellent choice where scented cut flowers and perfumed seating areas are particularly desired. |

Hip set is limited due to the double, full flowers; where formed, hips are generally round and around 12–18 mm in diameter; ornamental impact from hips is typically minor compared with the flowering display. |
| Resistance and hardiness |
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (USDA zone 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3); however, disease resistance is weak, with very susceptible reactions to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so regular preventive care is needed. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best in full sun with well‑drained, enriched soil and consistent watering; spacing 50–90 cm depending on use; 2.8–3.2 plants per m² for mass bedding; suitable for beds and cutting, but requires attentive plant protection and monitoring. |
