KONSTANTINA™ – pink bedding shrub rose – Tanjga
If You would like a reliable, easy-going shrub rose that simply gets on with flowering in Irish conditions, KONSTANTINA™ fits beautifully into an average front or back garden. Its bushy, compact habit makes it ideal for neat beds and low hedges, while the striped pink-and-white blooms bring a cheerful cottage-garden feel without fussy maintenance. This own-root plant settles steadily over the first years – roots in year one, fuller shoots in year two, then real showpiece value by year three – giving You a long-lived, regenerating plant that bounces back well after pruning or weather knocks. It copes well with our damp Irish weather and humidity, provided the soil drains reasonably, so it is suitable for many family gardens that struggle with heavy clay. With moderate height and a rounded shape, it works as a single accent or in small groups of three to five, and also adapts nicely to large containers on sheltered balconies or porches. KONSTANTINA™ offers remontant flowering across the season, rewarding even busy or beginner gardeners who just want to plant it, keep it watered and occasionally fed, and then enjoy a dependable, long-term display.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden feature bed by the entrance
The compact, bushy structure stays within 60–85 cm, giving a tidy, well-framed look beside paths, gates or bay windows without outgrowing its space or blocking views, ideal for keeping a small Irish front garden looking orderly yet welcoming for beginners
Small group planting in ornamental beds
Planting three to five plants at 60 cm spacing quickly forms a cohesive, rounded group, with remontant flowering providing reliable waves of colour through the season so a modest planting area still looks thoughtfully designed and generously in bloom for busy homeowners
Large patio pot or balcony container
Its moderate size and bushy habit adapt well to a 40–50 litre container, where the roots have space to develop and the plant can be easily watered, making it a practical choice for rented homes, paved yards or balconies that need low-fuss colour for urban
Mixed cottage-style border with perennials
The pink, striped flowers combine attractively with chives, dwarf coral bells or Carpathian bellflower, helping You create a relaxed, cottage look that still feels controlled and easy to manage, especially when You want long-term structure without complex care for families
Narrow bed along driveway or path
Recommended hedging spacings around 50 cm make it useful where You want a soft, colourful edge that does not need constant clipping; its moderate prickliness also keeps maintenance more comfortable when You weed or deadhead beside regular access routes for owners
Partially shaded town or village garden
Suitability for partial shade means KONSTANTINA™ can flower well where houses, walls or neighbouring trees limit full sun, giving dependable colour in the kind of real-life, not-perfectly-open positions that many Irish front and side gardens actually offer for starters
Easy-care rose bed on heavier Irish soils
Its disease resistance to powdery mildew and black spot pairs well with typical Irish conditions where rainfall and heavier ground are common, provided You ensure basic drainage, so You can keep fungicide use low and enjoy a cleaner display with fewer tasks for gardeners
Long-term, low-fuss specimen in a family garden
As an own-root shrub with hardy H7 rating, it is bred for a long lifespan, forming its own balanced bush shape on site and recovering well from winter or pruning, so the planting matures steadily rather than needing frequent replacement, reassuring for cautious buyers
Decorating ideas
Striped Cottage Welcome – Plant three KONSTANTINA™ near the front door with chives and dwarf coral bells for a neat yet romantic striped-pink welcome – ideal for families who want charm without complex upkeep
Pretty Patio Statement – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre pot with trailing campanula and seasonal bedding for a tidy, colourful focal point – perfect for balcony and courtyard gardeners with limited time
Low Hedge Accent – Line a short path or driveway with evenly spaced shrubs to create a soft, pink-edged boundary – suited to homeowners who prefer clear structure and minimal pruning work
Soft Shade Corner – Combine KONSTANTINA™ in partial shade with heuchera and ferns to brighten a dull side bed – good for those making the best of less-than-ideal light conditions
Cottage Mix Ribbon – Thread small groups of this rose through a mixed border with lavender and campanula for a relaxed, rural feel – appealing to cottage-garden fans seeking easy-care, long-season colour
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Shrub rose cultivar BOZkonfre, marketed as KONSTANTINA™ Freska® BOZkonfre; a flowerbed shrub in the Freska® collection, classed in the bed rose group for ornamental and container uses.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga of Pheno Geno Roses; registered 2020 (EU CPVR 55315), introduced in Europe from 2022 and in the USA from 2025 via Spring Meadow Nursery and Proven Winners.
Growth and structure
Compact, bushy shrub 60–85 cm tall and 50–75 cm wide, with moderately dense, medium green foliage and sparse prickles; suitable for borders, low hedges, containers and small group plantings.
Flower morphology
Very full, cup to chalice-shaped clusters of medium-sized blooms (1.5–2.75 in), with more than 40 petals; cluster flowering on short stems, with remontant, abundant second flush later in the season.
Colour and phenology
Deep pink base with striking white stripes and marbling; buds show dark pink with narrow white lines, ageing to mid-pink with creamy white markings and generally good colour retention under garden conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Scent is very weak, with only a barely noticeable sweet character at close range; primarily grown for visual effect and flower form rather than for fragrance-driven plantings or cut-flower perfumed use.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is usually low due to very double flowers; where present, produces occasional small, spherical, orange-red hips about 6–10 mm in diameter, adding discreet late-season ornamental interest.
Resistance and hardiness
Good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, moderate rust tolerance; hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), performing well in typical Irish garden conditions with reasonable drainage.
Horticultural recommendations
Best at 50–60 cm spacing, or 90 cm as a specimen; suitable for borders, low hedges, cut stems and larger containers; prefers normal moisture with watering in dry spells and plant protection only in very humid seasons.
KONSTANTINA™ offers compact, colourful flowering, good disease resistance and long-lived own-root growth that matures steadily over the years, making it a reassuring, easy-care choice if You would like a reliable rose for your garden.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data

KONSTANTINA™ – pink bedding shrub rose - Tanjga
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Foliage:
The variety's foliage is moderately dense, the surface texture of the leaves is not clearly classifiable, and their colour is a medium green shade (RHS 137A).
Flower Colour:
Deep pink base colour with white stripes and marbling.
Closed Bud:
The dark pink surface is streaked with irregular, narrow white lines.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Crimson-pink background with vivid, snow-white streaks and spots.
Full Bloom:
The outer part of the petal is deep pink, the inner part a paler shade, and the white pattern remains pronounced.
Pre-Fading Flower:

Colour Fading Description:
Upon opening the deep pink ground colour fades to mid-pink; the white markings remain pronounced and later soften to creamy white.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very full (double) flowers make it poorly attractive to pollinators, because double flower forms often obscure or reduce access to the stamens and nectar.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double, densely petalled flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Hip formation is expected to be minimal due to the double flowers; occasionally it produces spherical, orange‑red (RHS 40A) hips 6–10 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.
