Easy Does It – orange bedding Floribunda rose – Harkness & Harkness
With its ruffled, mango-orange blooms and relaxed, bushy habit, Easy Does It is bred to be a genuinely easy rose for Irish family gardens. You get a well-rooted, own‑root plant in a 2‑litre pot that settles in quickly, even where wet soil needs sensible drainage and the weather is changeable. Planted in beds, borders or a large container, its remontant flowering keeps colour coming in generous clusters through the season, while the rose’s naturally healthy foliage and strong disease resistance keep maintenance light. Medium‑strong, softly fruity fragrance adds a romantic touch to front gardens and cottage‑style plantings. Own‑root growth gives long‑term stability, helping the bush recover from pruning or weather damage and support a long lifespan in your garden. Year by year it becomes more impressive – roots in year one, stronger shoots in year two, and full ornamental presence by year three – giving you time to enjoy it without rush.
Easy Does It™ with double, cup-shaped blooms.
Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden flower bed by the entrance
Ideal for welcoming colour close to the house, its compact yet bushy habit and medium height frame paths and doorways without overwhelming smaller spaces, while remontant clusters keep the entrance cheerful for busy homeowners.
Small rose group of 3–5 plants in a family garden
Planted in a loose triangle or drift, Easy Does It forms a rounded, balanced group; the own-root plants knit together into a long-lived, uniform display that is easy to prune and refresh season after season for beginner gardeners.
Mixed border with perennials and shrubs
The glowing mango-orange and peach-pink tones blend beautifully with purples, creams and blues, while the upright, bushy structure slots neatly between perennials, giving repeat flowering colour that ties the whole border together for cottage-garden fans.
Large patio container on balcony or terrace
Works reliably in a 40–50 litre container with good drainage; its manageable height, upright shape and abundant clusters suit terraces and balconies, bringing scented colour where ground planting is limited for urban apartment owners.
Low-maintenance family back garden bed
High resistance to common rose diseases and modest water needs in established plants make this variety suitable for gardeners who prefer simpler routines, with minimal spraying or complex pruning required for time-poor families.
Partially shaded side garden or narrow strip
Tolerates partial shade, so it can brighten side passages or east-/west-facing walls where sun is limited; the vivid flower colour still shows well, maintaining interest in trickier spots for owners of awkward plots.
Coastal or exposed suburban garden bed
Strong, healthy foliage and robust growth help it cope where wind and damp air meet heavier soils, as long as you provide reasonable drainage in areas prone to lingering moisture for Irish coastal gardeners.
Cutting section in a decorative border
The large, double, cup-shaped flowers on cluster stems can be cut at different stages for vases; remontant flowering means new blooms follow, so you can pick regularly without leaving the plant bare for home flower arrangers.
Decorating ideas
Cottage Welcome Row – Plant a short row along the front path, underplant with lavender and soft catmint to echo the rose’s warm tones – for lovers of traditional cottage entrances.
Sunset Container Trio – Combine one Easy Does It in a 40–50 litre tub with trailing thyme and silver-leaved helichrysum for a glowing, low-care patio vignette – for balcony and terrace gardeners.
Warm Border Anchor – Use as a central feature in a mixed border with blue salvias, white gaura and pink astrantia to create a long-season, romantic colour blend – for creative hobby gardeners.
Family-Friendly Feature Bed – Group three roses in a small island bed edged with dwarf mountain pine and hardy geraniums for a neat but characterful focal point – for busy families who still want impact.
Soft Shade Side Walk – Line an east-facing side path with spaced plants and weave in groundcover honeysuckle and ferns to brighten a tricky, part-shaded strip – for owners of narrow or overlooked side gardens.

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.
