Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
OKÁLYI IVÁN EMLÉKE is a bedding floribunda shrub rose from the Márk collection, traded as a bed rose for garden and landscape use; no formally registered exhibition name is recorded.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Márk Gergely in Hungary, with parentage currently unknown; first listed in a floribunda series around 1998 and introduced through PharmaRosa Ltd. for Central European style gardens.
Growth and structure
Bushy, spreading shrub with moderately dense, slightly glossy medium green foliage; typically 60–85 cm high and 50–70 cm wide, creating a compact mound suitable for edging, bedding and low hedging.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double, cup-shaped blooms with approximately 26–39 petals, carried mainly in clusters on branching stems; remontant flowering gives a generous second flush in suitable summer conditions.
Colour and phenology
Intense red with orange tinge, opening from deep scarlet buds to bright fiery red, then slowly fading through coral and orange-pink tones; maintains an orange cast throughout, giving warm, glowing borders for months.
Fragrance and aroma
Very light fragrance with a fruity, sweet character that is usually only noticeable at close range; chosen more for its colour impact and bedding value than for strong perfumed effect in the garden.
Rose hip characteristics
Occasionally forms small, spherical red hips around 10–14 mm across, adding a modest decorative touch in late season without heavy fruiting that would distract from flowering display.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); disease resistance is moderate, benefitting from basic preventive care, with good tolerance of summer heat and periods of moderate drought.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers a sunny position and well-prepared soil; space 55–70 cm depending on use, with 2.8–3.2 plants per m² for bedding; suit regular feeding, mulching and occasional pest and disease checks in average gardens.
OKÁLYI IVÁN EMLÉKE offers compact, colourful bedding display, easy container and border use, and long-term stability from its own-root habit, making it a dependable choice if You would like a straightforward rose that fits your garden.

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.
