Henri Matisse – red-white bedding floribunda rose
If You like roses that are both easy-care and eye-catching, Henri Matisse is a floribunda that slips into an Irish family garden without fuss. Its bushy, upright habit stays neatly within 75–105 cm, creating a compact clump that suits front beds and smaller borders. Large, fully double, cup-shaped blooms come in clusters, with carmine-red petals broken by vivid white streaks that fade gently to raspberry-pink and cream, giving a painterly effect that feels right at home beside cottages or modern drives. The flowers carry a clearly noticeable, fresh, fruity fragrance, making everyday garden visits more rewarding. As an own-root plant in a 2-litre pot it arrives well established, settling reliably and offering a genuinely long-lived feature that regenerates from its own base. With moderate disease resistance it copes steadily in damp Irish weather and heavier soils where good drainage helps manage humidity-driven problems. Over time it builds up into a dense, glossy-foliaged bush, and with simple deadheading You can enjoy remontant, season-long flowering. In year one it concentrates on roots, year two brings stronger shoots, and by year three You see its full ornamental value.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal bed by the entrance
The bushy, upright habit keeps a compact outline, so it fits neatly into modest front beds without overwhelming windows or paths, giving a reliable structure through the season for busy homeowners
Small groups in mixed cottage-style borders
Clustered, fully double blooms repeat through the season, so groups of three to five plants stitch regular colour into mixed borders and keep beds looking intentionally planted for beginner gardeners
Statement colour patch along a driveway
The large, painterly, red-white flowers draw the eye from a distance, creating a bold, striped ribbon of colour that works well beside gravel or paving and lifts everyday drives for urban families
Terrace or patio in a large container
In a 40–50 litre pot with good drainage this rose forms a tidy, upright plant that offers generous flowering without needing complex pruning, ideal beside seating areas for balcony and patio owners
Fragrant seating corner near a path
The clearly noticeable, fresh, fruity raspberry scent is easy to enjoy at close quarters, so planting it by a bench or path rewards quick garden visits with fragrance for scent-loving visitors
Low-maintenance rose bed for busy schedules
Moderate disease resistance and simple care needs make routine tasks straightforward, while own-root vigour supports recovery and long-term stability, a practical match for wetter Irish gardens with fungal pressure for time-poor gardeners
Long-term family planting around the home
As an own-root rose it gradually builds a balanced, resilient framework that can regenerate from the base, giving a stable, long-lived feature that grows with the household for family garden planners
Edging for ornamental beds and low hedging
With recommended spacing of 35–40 cm it forms a continuous, glossy-foliaged line that defines borders clearly, while regular deadheading keeps the flowering edge looking smart for neat-border enthusiasts
Decorating ideas
COTTAGE STRIPE BORDER – Plant small groups of Henri Matisse with Gypsophila repens ‘Knuddel’ to echo old cottage gardens while keeping a compact, easy-care layout – ideal for romantic-style beginners
MODERN ENTRANCE STRIP – Line a short drive with repeated clumps and low grasses, using the upright habit to give structure without blocking sightlines – suitable for contemporary urban homeowners
COLOUR-DRIFT BED – Combine with white Liatris spicata ‘Alba’ to highlight the red-white marbling and extend vertical interest above the compact bush – appealing to design-conscious garden improvers
FRAGRANT PATIO POT – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre container beside outdoor seating so the fruity scent and showy blooms can be enjoyed up close – perfect for balcony and terrace users
LOW HEDGE FRAME – Use closely spaced plants to edge a front lawn, letting the neat height and dense foliage create a living frame – great for families wanting tidy, low-maintenance definition

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
DELSTROBLA – red-white bedding floribunda rose - Delbard
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Flower Colour:
A deep carmine-red ground colour is broken by vivid, irregular white streaks and spots.
Closed Bud:
On the dark red surface, pale pink–white hairline streaks run across.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Contrasting snow-white bands and spots appear on the intense red petals.
Full Bloom:
The cup-shaped flower displays marbled, mixed carmine and white petals.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The red tone fades to raspberry-pink and the white areas take on a creamy hue.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the intense carmine-red tone fades to raspberry–pink, the white areas turn creamy; the striping remains and may lighten further in strong sunlight.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its fully double (telt) blooms conceal the reproductive organs, leaving the stamens largely inaccessible and making it of low attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partly conceal the stamens, so it has limited pollinator-friendliness and is primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be scant due to the double flowers; occasionally forming egg-shaped, orange-red rose hips 8–12 mm in diameter.

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.
