PEARL ABUNDANCE® – cream bedding floribunda rose – Harkness
If You are looking for a reliable, easy-going rose that simply settles in and gets on with flowering, PEARL ABUNDANCE® fits beautifully into an Irish family garden. Its neat, bushy habit and medium height make it practical for front beds, small borders and paths where You want order without fuss. Clusters of cupped blooms open in a soft cream with a shell‑pink blush, fading gently to near ivory for a consistently elegant effect from early summer into autumn. This floribunda is especially robust against common rose diseases, so in our humid, rain‑washed climate You can enjoy clean foliage with minimal spraying. Own‑root plants settle gradually, forming a durable shrub that recovers well after pruning and offers a genuinely long‑lived presence in the garden. In a large, 40–50 litre container on a terrace or coastal front garden it remains compact yet floriferous, ensuring You can manage watering and drainage even where soil is heavy. Over its first years it focuses on roots, then shoots, and by the third season achieves its full ornamental value as a rounded, floriferous bush. With its mild, classic rose scent and relaxed flowering rhythm, this variety feels reassuringly easy for beginners while still rewarding experienced gardeners.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PEARL ABUNDANCE® – cream bedding floribunda rose - Harkness
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Double, 26–39-petalled flowers with concealed stamens make nectar and pollen less accessible, so this form attracts pollinators poorly.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Because its double flowers have 26–39 petals, nectar and pollen are largely inaccessible, so its suitability for pollinators is limited; it is primarily an ornamental cultivar.

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.
