KATIE'S ROSE® – maroon bedding floribunda rose - Horner
If You are dreaming of a front garden that looks carefully tended without demanding all Your weekends, KATIE'S ROSE® is an easy-going floribunda that delivers a reliably neat, upright shrub packed with velvety, deep burgundy blooms. Its medium height and bushy habit make it equally at home along a path, beside a low wall or grouped in a small bed, creating a balanced look even in average-sized family gardens. The blooms come in generous clusters, so each flush gives a strong colour impact, and the remontant flowering habit ensures a vivid second wave later in the season. The medium, classic rosy perfume adds romance close to seating areas or windows You like to open on mild evenings. As an own-root plant, it settles in for the long term, regenerating from its base and keeping a stable shape with less complicated pruning. In Irish gardens that often face high rainfall and heavier soils, it copes well when given reasonable drainage and steady care. Over time it becomes a quietly reliable presence: in year one it concentrates on roots, in year two the bush builds up its framework, and by year three You can enjoy its full ornamental value with minimal adjustments, ideal if You simply want to plant a rose that works.

Planting 3–5 shrubs at the recommended spacing creates a cohesive, balanced block of colour; the consistent growth habit makes the group look planned rather than fussy, suiting homeowners who want calm structure with limited effort, ideal for busy
Season-long colour in mixed borders
The remontant, clustered flowering provides repeat flushes, so gaps between perennials are filled reliably through the season; the steady second bloom helps the border look lively even after early summer interest has faded, reassuring for newcomers

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bed rose registered as HORrapture, marketed as KATIE'S ROSE® – a shrub-type bedding rose in the bed rose commercial group, introduced primarily for garden and bedding use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Heather M. Horner in the United Kingdom around 2012, with unknown parentage; first distributed by Bill LeGrice Roses, introduced to the wider market from 2013 for ornamental garden planting.
Growth and structure
Medium shrub, 80–110 cm high and 65–95 cm wide, with an upright, bushy habit; dense, glossy medium-green foliage and moderate prickliness make it a well-furnished, substantial yet manageable garden rose.
Flower morphology
Double, cup-shaped flowers with 26–39 petals, produced in clusters on the stems; medium-sized blooms (about 4–7 cm) and a remontant habit with a particularly abundant second flowering period in the season.
Colour and phenology
Deep burgundy red with rich, velvety tones; buds open crimson burgundy and age from dark purplish to dark purplish-red, with moderate fading that maintains a dark, moody character throughout the flowering cycle.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, classic rosy fragrance that is clearly noticeable at close range; best appreciated near paths, terraces or seating where gardeners and visitors can enjoy the scent without needing a highly perfumed variety.
Rose hip characteristics
Occasional production of small, spherical red hips, about 8–12 mm in diameter; hips are primarily ornamental, adding subtle late-season interest rather than being the main decorative feature of the plant.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (H7, USDA 6b), with moderate resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust; benefits from normal preventative care and good air circulation in wetter, maritime climates.
Horticultural recommendations
Suitable for borders, containers, specimen use and mass planting; space at 55 cm for bedding, 50 cm for hedging, about 90 cm as a specimen, and use well-drained soil with consistent moisture and balanced feeding.

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.
