LIPPAY JÁNOS – dark pink bedding polyantha rose – Márk
With its masses of vivid dark-pink blooms and neat, upright habit, LIPPAY JÁNOS is a reliable bedding rose that quickly gives You a tidy, flower-filled front garden without complex maintenance. The semi-double clusters open to reveal a pale centre and golden stamens, creating a bright, eye-catching effect that suits Irish cottage-style paths, low hedges and urban borders. Tough roots and good heat tolerance mean it copes well with changing weather and typical Irish summers, even where warm spells follow rain in heavier soils that simply need decent surface drainage. As an own-root plant, it forms a stable, long-lived bush that can regenerate from its base, supporting a robust lifespan and dependable shape. In the first year it focuses on roots, in the second on top growth, and by the third year You can expect its full ornamental impact in your garden.

Small rose groups of 3–5 plants in ornamental beds
Cluster-flowering, semi-double blooms appear in waves through the season, so even a small group reads as a continuous splash of dark pink that anchors mixed beds near the house for the busy
Sunny spots with warm, drying winds
Good heat and drought tolerance help it cope where beds dry out between showers or during warm spells, reducing the stress of occasional missed watering in typical Irish weather patterns for the practical

Recommended spacings of 25–30 cm let You create a low hedge that joins into a solid band of foliage and flower, suiting rural cottage gardens and older urban terraces seeking a romantic, traditional edge for the nostalgic

Sites with heavier soil that drain reasonably well
This variety copes well with heat and periodic dryness, provided excess water can run off typical Irish clay, making it suitable where You improve drainage slightly rather than redesign the whole bed for the cautious

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Trade name LIPPAY JÁNOS – dark pink bedding polyantha rose – Márk; polyantha bedding rose within the bed rose group; exhibition categories include exhibition polyantha and shrub rose, with no registered cultivar name listed.
Origin and breeding
Hybrid of ‘Minililla’ × ‘Titanilla’, bred by Márk Gergely in Hungary in 2002; registration year 2002, with international introduction in 2005, initially distributed by PharmaRosa® Ltd. for wider garden use.
Awards and recognitions
Bronze Medal at the Rome International New Rose Competition in 2005, and Bronze Medal at the Bundesgartenschau (BUGA) Gera-Ronneburg in 2007, confirming its ornamental value in professional trials.
Growth and structure
Compact, upright bush reaching about 45–65 cm high and 40–55 cm wide, with moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, well suited to edging, bedding and low hedging applications.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, cup-shaped flowers with 13–25 petals, small in size (approximately 0.5–1.5 inches), borne in clusters; repeat-flowering with especially abundant second flush, enhancing seasonal colour in beds.
Colour and phenology
Vibrant dark-pink blooms with a pale, whitish centre and contrasting yellow stamens; colour lightens slightly as flowers open, showing good overall colour retention with limited fading through normal garden conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Reported as scentless, with no noticeable fragrance for garden use; semi-double form with visible stamens offers moderate pollinator interest, though less accessible than single-flowered, open-centred varieties.
Rose hip characteristics
Produces moderate quantities of small, spherical rose hips, usually 6–9 mm in diameter, bright red around RHS 43A, adding a discreet seasonal accent in late season without dominating the shrub’s appearance.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish Zone 3); good heat and drought tolerance, but medium susceptibility to powdery mildew and black spot and very sensitive to rust, so regular plant protection is advisable.
Horticultural recommendations
Best used for flower beds, edging, parks and urban green spaces; spacing about 30 cm in mass plantings, 25 cm for hedging, 50 cm as specimens, with densities of roughly 10–11.6 plants per square metre depending on layout.
LIPPAY JÁNOS offers compact height, vibrant repeat-flowering clusters and heat-tolerant, own-root reliability that settles into a long-lived, low-fuss bed or hedge, making it a sound choice if You would like a neat, colourful rose.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
LIPPAY JÁNOS – dark pink bedding polyantha rose - Márk
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Competition and Show Awards:
Bronze Medal – Rome International New Rose Competition (2005); Bronze Medal – Bundesgartenschau (BUGA) Gera-Ronneburg (2007)
Flower Colour:
Vibrant pink flowers with a pale, whitish centre and contrasting yellow stamens.
Closed Bud:
Vibrant, full dark-pink bud with a slightly deeper pink tone at the tip and a subtle purplish hue on the outer bud leaves.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Petals open in an intense pink, rapidly lightening towards the petal bases to a whitish–creamy transition. By this stage the central yellow crown of stamens is already visible.
Full Bloom:
Rich, vivid pink flower with a striking, pale whitish centre. The outer zone of the petals is fuller, a deeper pink, while a soft, light transition towards the centre is visible, creating a strong contrast with the yellow stamens.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The pink tone softens slightly, becoming more pastel and leaning towards a mauve-pink. The lighter central area spreads further, and a subtle lightening appears along the edges of the petals.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the pink becomes slightly muted, but significant fading is not typical.
Pollinator Attraction:
Semi-double flowers with 13–25 petals are moderately attractive to pollinators, as the partially filled (semi-double) form can limit access to the stamens and nectar compared with simple blooms, reducing overall pollinator visitation.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Semi-double (13–25 petalled) flowers moderately attract pollinators, so this is a partially pollinator-friendly variety.

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.
