RED SPOT® – red floribunda bedding rose - Barni
With its vivid velvety red blooms, RED SPOT® brings a bold splash of colour to Irish front gardens while coping reliably with our cool summers and frequent showers. This compact floribunda forms a low, rounded bush that is ideal for beds, borders and smaller spaces, giving neat structure without taking over the whole garden. Clustered, semi-double flowers appear in generous flushes, with a strong first display and a dependable second flowering to keep your garden lively through the season. Colour holds well, softening only slightly towards burgundy so the planting always looks fresh, even in strong sun. Medium maintenance means You mainly water, feed and do light deadheading, without complicated tasks. As an own-root rose in a pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre pot, it is already well rooted, settling steadily into clay or loamy soil for a long-lived, reliable presence. Year one focuses on strong roots, year two on shaping leafy shoots, and by year three You enjoy full, rich colour and a mature, easy-care display.

Compact, bushy habit, 50–75 cm high and 45–65 cm wide with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage. Moderately thorny stems, forms a rounded outline that suits edging, low hedges and grouped bedding schemes.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, cup-shaped flowers with 13–25 petals, medium-sized (approximately 4–7 cm), borne in clusters. Remontant habit with a generous second flowering, moderate self-cleaning so some deadheading improves appearance.
Colour and phenology
Deep, full velvety red with a subtle dark tone; buds dark ruby red. Freshly opened flowers cherry red with deeper centre, ageing towards burgundy with only moderate fading even in stronger sun, giving sustained decorative value.
Fragrance and aroma
No noticeable fragrance; effectively a scentless rose. Chosen more for strong visual impact and bedding use than for perfume, useful where colour and compact habit are the primary design requirements in the planting.

Produces moderate quantities of small, spherical red hips, about 6–10 mm in diameter. Hips contribute a light ornamental effect in late season but are generally secondary to the flower display.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, H7; Swedish zone 3). Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; benefits from basic hygiene and occasional plant protection in humid, high-pressure seasons.

Best in sunny positions with well-drained but moisture-retentive soil. Space 30–55 cm depending on use, 8.2–9.4 plants/m² for mass bedding. Average heat and drought tolerance; water during prolonged dry spells and feed regularly.
RED SPOT® gives compact, vivid red colour with repeat flowering and a tidy habit, while its own-root form helps ensure long-term, low-fuss performance in Irish gardens, making it a sound choice if You want a dependable rose You can simply enjoy.

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.
