MONALIA – pink-and-white striped bedding floribunda rose - Dickson
With its cheerfully striped blooms and steady repeat flowering, MONALIA is the kind of rose You plant once and then simply enjoy. The double flowers open in playful, cream-and-raspberry tones that soften gently as they age, giving Your front garden or small bed a lively, ever-changing display. Its bushy, compact habit fits easily into average Irish family gardens, coping well with our cool, damp summers and humidity-related fungal pressure when given basic care. As an own-root plant in the pharmaROSA ORIGINAL range, MONALIA is bred for longevity: if a stem is damaged, new shoots grow from its own roots rather than failing at the graft, so the bush keeps its shape and character for many years. Expect a natural development where the first year focuses on roots, the second on stronger shoots, and the third on full ornamental impact in Your border. The medium-height, bushy structure and glossy mid-green foliage frame the flowers beautifully, making it easy to combine with low edging plants or cottage-style perennials. In a generous 40–50 litre container it also settles well on sheltered patios or balconies, giving You colourful, scented blooms close to the house. With moderate maintenance needs, reliable rebloom and a naturally tidy outline, MONALIA supports an attractive, orderly garden scene without demanding complicated skills, ideal if You want maximum charm from a manageable planting.
Monalia shows double blooms with 26–39 petals and a bright golden-yellow centre.
Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal bed by the path
The striped flowers provide an immediate talking point near the front door, while the bushy growth habit keeps the planting compact and easy to read from the street, suiting busy homeowners who still value a welcoming entrance for visitors.
Small group planting in family borders
Planting 3–5 bushes together at the recommended spacing creates a low, continuous mass of colour that repeats through the season, giving beginners dependable results without complex design work, perfect for families.
Neat edging rose in mixed cottage beds
The 75–105 cm height and dense, glossy foliage make a tidy front layer to frame taller cottage plants, keeping the border looking finished even between flowering peaks, a help for gardeners seeking relaxed charm with structure.
Coastal or wind-exposed front plots
The sturdy, bushy framework and H7 hardiness suit typical Irish conditions where Atlantic winds, cool temperatures and wetter spells are common, supporting householders in exposed locations who still want reliable seasonal colour.
Large patio container near seating
In a minimum 40–50 litre pot with good drainage, MONALIA forms a stable, long-lived shrub whose medium-strength fruity fragrance can be enjoyed at close quarters, ideal for town or village patios used by relaxing couples.
Low, informal flowering hedge
Planted at around 50 cm apart in a row, the uniform bushy habit and repeat flowering build a semi-formal flowering boundary that is easy to shape with light pruning, suiting householders wanting gentle privacy for garden life.
Small decorative bed with simple maintenance
Average disease resistance and moderate maintenance needs mean that with occasional preventative spraying and feeding, MONALIA delivers long-lasting structure and bloom without daily attention, attractive for time-poor urban gardeners.
Long-term garden design with stable shapes
As an own-root floribunda, MONALIA slowly builds a balanced bush that regenerates from its own roots after hard pruning, supporting sustainable layouts where shrubs keep their intended contour and character for many seasons for thoughtful planners.
Decorating ideas
Cottage Stripe Border – Combine MONALIA with lavender and catmint in a sunny strip to echo its pink-and-cream tones, creating a romantic, low-maintenance cottage edge – ideal for relaxed family gardeners.
Front Door Welcome – Plant a trio with white Allium and low Lonicera nitida ‘Maigrün’ for year-round structure and seasonal stripes beside the path – suited to homeowners who like a smart, tidy entrance.
Patio Scent Corner – Use one MONALIA in a 50 litre terracotta pot with trailing thyme and blue lobelia for fragrance and colour by a seating area – perfect for balcony and small-terrace dwellers.
Striped Feature Island – In a small lawn island, underplant MONALIA with Lychnis alpina 'Magenta' and silver foliage perennials to highlight the rose’s patterned blooms – attractive for design-conscious hobby gardeners.
Soft Hedge Frame – Line a short boundary with MONALIA and interplant with white Liatris spicata 'Alba' for vertical accents and an airy feel – great for those wanting gentle screening without heavy fencing.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Trade name MONALIA, a bedding floribunda rose from the Dickson range; collection: Bedding rose, commercial group: Bed rose; no separate registered cultivar name or exhibition name recorded.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Colin Dickson at Dickson Nurseries Ltd., Newtownards, Northern Ireland; breeding year recorded as 2010 in the United Kingdom; detailed parentage and introduction year are not documented.
Growth and structure
Medium-sized, bushy shrub reaching about 75–105 cm in height with a 60–80 cm spread; dense, glossy mid-green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a compact, rounded outline well suited to beds and edging.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double blooms with approximately 26–39 petals; borne in clusters of 3–5 per stem on flat, floribunda-type inflorescences; reblooms well with abundant second and subsequent flushes in suitable conditions.
Colour and phenology
Distinct cream-white and scarlet-red variegated petals with a golden-yellow centre; buds open vivid scarlet with cream striping, then fade towards pink as the creamy base dominates, giving a changing striped effect over time.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength fragrance with a fresh, fruity character; best appreciated at close range near paths or seating; fully double flowers may limit nectar and pollen availability, so wildlife value is mainly visual.
Rose hip characteristics
Occasional small hips, around 10–14 mm in diameter, spherical and red (RHS 46A); may add a light ornamental touch in late season but are not a dominant feature of the cultivar.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately –21 to –18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); disease resistance is moderate, with average tolerance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so occasional plant protection can be beneficial.
Horticultural recommendations
Maintenance requirement moderate; prefers well-drained soil and regular watering, especially in containers of at least 40–50 litres; recommended spacing 60 cm in groups, 50 cm for hedging, about 100 cm as a standalone specimen.
MONALIA offers playful striped flowers, a compact, bushy habit and reliable repeat flowering on long-lived own-root plants, making it a reassuring choice if You want a colourful rose that simply settles in and performs.
Cultivar Name Meaning:
Monalia is an Irish townland, a small rural settlement in the parish of Donaghmoyne in County Monaghan, and the cultivar probably took its name from there.
Flower Colour:
Cream-white and scarlet-red variegated petals with a golden-yellow centre.
Closed Bud:
Vivid scarlet red, with cream-white striping on the outer petals.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Distinctly variegated: scarlet-red and white sectors, with a golden-yellow halo at the base of the petals.
Full Bloom:
Cream-white base with irregular scarlet-red stripes and spots, bright golden-yellow stamens shining from the centre.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The red tone softens, fading into pink, the creamy white becomes dominant, and the yellow centre grows creamier.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the vivid scarlet red fades to pink, the creamy-white base colour becomes dominant, and the yellow centre turns creamier.
Pollinator Attraction:
Very double (40+ petals) flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent because the fully double flower form conceals the stamens, reducing pollen and nectar accessibility and thus lowering their appeal.

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.
