Data
Name and registration
Rodonit Romantic Rose pharmaROSA, nostalgia shrub rose in the Romantic Rose collection; own-root, container-grown garden rose for general ornamental use in private gardens and smaller landscape projects.
Origin and breeding
Parentage and breeding company are not documented; discovered by pharmaROSA and introduced via PharmaRosa Ltd. Hungary, supplied in Ireland through pharmarosa.ie for home gardeners.
Growth and structure
Upright shrub reaching about 100–160 cm in height and 50–90 cm spread; moderately dense, glossy mid-green foliage with moderate prickliness, forming a balanced, vertical garden presence.
Flower morphology
Large, double, rosette-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals; very generous flower size (XL) carried mainly solitary on stems, offering classic romantic form and good garden visibility from a distance.
Colour and phenology
Even raspberry-pink with a purple undertone; buds open rich fuchsia to cyclamen, then fade through magenta and crimson-lavender to softer purple-lilac tones as blooms age, flowering in repeated flushes.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, clean rose fragrance with a noticeable raspberry note; best appreciated at close range around seating areas, entrances and paths, especially in still, mild evening conditions.
Rose hip characteristics
Due to the full, double flower form, only a few hips are produced; when present, they are round to oval, approximately 12–18 mm across, with limited visual impact in most garden settings.
Resistance and hardiness
Rated hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (H7, USDA 5b); good resistance reported to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, supporting low-input, eco-aware care regimes in family gardens.
Horticultural recommendations
Recommended for borders and as specimen shrubs at 50–100 cm spacing; performs best in well-drained, humus-rich soil with regular moisture and light pruning to shape and renew flowering wood.
RODONIT Romantic Rose pharmaROSA offers nostalgic, raspberry-pink blooms, reliable disease-resistant growth and long-lived own-root strength, making it a reassuring choice if You want a beautiful rose that simply fits into everyday garden life.

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.
