OH HAPPY DAY® – apricot-pink hybrid tea rose – Kordes
If You like classic roses but want something genuinely reliable and easy to live with, OH HAPPY DAY® is made for You. This award-winning hybrid tea from Kordes produces elegant, large, cup‑shaped blooms in a soft apricot-pink blend that always looks polished in a family garden. The upright, medium‑tall bush keeps a neat outline with dense, mid‑green foliage, so it works beautifully in front gardens and as a specimen near the house. Bred for modern gardens, it offers excellent disease resistance and shrugs off our damp Irish summers, even where fungal pressure is high in a wet, cool climate. Repeat flowering from early summer into autumn means a steady supply of long‑stemmed blooms for cutting, while the mild fragrance suits seating areas and small spaces without becoming overpowering. Grown as a 2‑litre own‑root plant, it settles in steadily and can regenerate from its own roots for a long, dependable life. In the first year it concentrates on rooting, the second on building bushy shoots, and by the third year it shows its full ornamental value.
Freshly opened OH HAPPY DAY® bloom with soft cream-peach tones and pink-edged petals.
Oh Happy Day® offered as a 2-litre potted hybrid tea rose.

Flower Colour:
Fine, creamy peach base colour with a subtle pinkish tint. The pink tone becomes more intense towards the outer edges of the petals.
Closed Bud:
Light peach ground colour with a delicate pink blush at the tips.

Soft cream‑peach in the centre, with a subtle pink tinge along the outer petal edges.
Full Bloom:
Even cream‑peach shade, subtly flushed with pink at the edges.
Pre-Fading Flower:
Fading peach colour which blends into a pale pinkish‑beige tone.
Colour Fading Description:
The colour varies with temperature: in hot conditions it becomes yellower, in cool conditions more pink; there is no data on significant fading.
Pollinator Attraction:
Likely less attractive to pollinators, as the double (full) flower form and reduced stamen accessibility limit insects’ ability to reach nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partially enclose the stamens, so it attracts pollinators only to a limited extent and is primarily an ornamental variety.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
According to the descriptions, it also flowers well in warm conditions; during prolonged dry periods it requires regular watering.

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.
