MONIKA – orange tea-hybrid rose – TANaknom
If You would like a glowing, upright hybrid tea that fits easily into a small Irish front garden, MONIKA gives You refined, exhibition-style blooms without demanding expert skills. Its medium-large, pointed flowers open into high-centred cups in a rich orange and golden blend that slowly softens to peach, so Your bed or border is never dull. The bush forms a tall, elegant structure with dark, glossy foliage that shows off each bloom like a florist’s stem, yet it remains manageable for family gardens and smaller spaces. Own-root plants develop gradually, building long-lived, stable shrubs that recover well from pruning and weather. Over time, the rose settles comfortably even where humidity-driven diseases can be a problem, staying reliably healthy with modest care. With a pharmaROSA ORIGINAL 2-litre plant You get a well-rooted start, ideal for those who want to plant once and enjoy for many years. Expect strong root growth in year one, better branching and flowering in year two, and fully developed ornamental impact by year three as the rose becomes a dependable feature in Your garden. Its remontant habit means another flush of colour later in the season, so beds and borders stay lively for longer with simple deadheading. MONIKA also lends itself to cutting; a few stems in a vase bring its warm-toned, high-centred blooms indoors, extending the pleasure beyond the patio. Because fragrance is very discreet, it is perfect near seating areas where strong scents might be overwhelming, yet You still enjoy the romantic look of classic hybrid teas. The shrub’s good disease resistance and low maintenance needs suit busy owners who cannot be in the garden every day but still want it to look cared-for. Whether You are filling a sunny bed, giving structure to a mixed planting, or choosing a reliable rose as a long-term investment, this variety offers an easy way to keep Your space orderly, colourful and welcoming.
Monika shows the classic high-centred, pointed-budded bloom form of a hybrid tea rose.

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose cultivar TANaknom, marketed as MONIKA – orange tea-hybrid rose – Evers; hybrid tea rose group and commercial type, registered with the American Rose Society under the exhibition name Monika.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers at Rosen Tantau, Uetersen, Germany, from unnamed seedlings; introduced and registered in 1985 by Rosen Tantau, distributed as a premium silver rated hybrid tea in Europe.
Awards and recognitions
Received a Certificate of Merit at the New Zealand Rose Trials in 1990, confirming its ornamental quality and performance under international trial garden conditions as a reliable exhibition-type hybrid tea.
Growth and structure
Upright, moderately thorny bush reaching about 130–170 cm in height and 80–120 cm spread; dark green, glossy, moderately dense foliage presents flowers well and suits use as a specimen, row or background planting.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double flowers with approximately 26–39 petals, high-centred and pointed like classic cut-rose types, usually borne singly on stems; remontant, providing an abundant second flush with regular deadheading.
Colour and phenology
Flowers open from copper-red buds with golden tips into fiery orange-copper blooms with yellowish-golden reverse, maturing to paler peach and pink-tinged tones; colour retention is moderate, giving a gently changing display.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, making it suitable near windows, doors or seating areas for those preferring visual impact without strong scent; mainly valued for flower form and colour rather than perfume.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is usually limited because double flowers and deadheading reduce fruiting; where not removed, it can produce small, ellipsoid, orange-red hips about 6–10 mm in diameter towards the end of the season.
Resistance and hardiness
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy approximately to −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4), performing well in typical Irish garden conditions with regular watering during extended drought.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in beds, as a cut-flower source or specimen; plant about 100 cm apart as individuals, 55–65 cm in rows, giving 2.4–2.7 plants per m²; tolerates partial shade but flowers best with several hours of direct sun daily.
MONIKA offers tall, elegant orange blooms for cutting, strong disease resistance and low maintenance, while its own-root form builds a resilient long-lived shrub, making it a dependable choice if You want to plant once and enjoy for years.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
MONIKA – orange tea-hybrid rose - Evers
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Flower Colour:
Bright orange base with a soft golden-yellow shading.
Closed Bud:
Deep copper-red colour with pale golden-yellow tips.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Fiery orange-copper petals with a yellowish-golden underside.
Full Bloom:
Intense orange surface with a golden-yellow shade inside.
Pre-Fading Flower:
Orange fading to a pale peach with a delicate pink-tinged edge.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening, the intense orange–copper shade gradually lightens to a pale peach colour, with a delicate pinkish tone at the edge.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its highly double flowers make it less attractive to pollinators, as the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit insects’ access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partially hide the stamens, so it is only marginally pollinator-friendly and is primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Hip formation is expected to be limited due to removal of double and spent flowers; occasionally produces ellipsoid, orange‑red 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.
