SAKURAGASUMI – light pink bedding floribunda rose - Suzuki
Sakuragasumi brings a cloud of cherry-blossom charm to your Irish garden with light, romantic pink flowers that look at home in both tidy suburban front beds and relaxed cottage borders. This bushy floribunda forms a rounded, dense shrub with glossy dark foliage, giving you a neat, filled-out look even when not in bloom. Clustered, double flowers open in repeated flushes through the season, so you enjoy a long, soft-pink display rather than a brief spring show. In our wetter climate it performs reliably when you provide basic drainage and avoid waterlogged heavy clay, coping well with periods of humidity and rain when given regular care. Its medium maintenance level means there is no need for complicated techniques – just simple pruning and the occasional tidy of spent blooms. As an own-root plant, it builds a strong framework that can regenerate from the base and keep its shape and flower colour for many years. In a 40–50 litre container or a small bed it develops steadily: first focusing on roots in year one, gaining bushy shoots in year two, and reaching full ornamental value around year three, giving You quiet confidence that it will settle and last.
Freshly opened Sakura-Gasumi flower in porcelain-blush pink.

Fragrance and aroma
Very faint, sweet rose fragrance, generally only noticeable at close range or in still air; primarily appreciated for its visual effect rather than strong scent in the garden setting.

Flower Colour:
A uniformly pale, slightly candy‑toned pink predominates. A slightly more muted, powdery tone is visible on the petal undersides.
Closed Bud:
Pale, cool baby-pink with delicate raspberry tips.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Porcelain–blush pink base, with a subtler raspberry‑to‑carmine blush at the petal edges.
Full Bloom:
Two-tone effect with a vivid pink edge and an extensive, creamy-white centre (eye), golden stamens and marbled lightening on some petals.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The pink dulls and fades to a salmon-powder hue, the centre fades to creamy white, the stamens darken to ochre-brown.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the pink edge may briefly become more vivid, then the flower fades to a peach–powder tone, while the centre pales to cream-white.
Pollinator Attraction:
With a tea‑hybrid habit and fully double flowers that conceal the stamens, it generally attracts fewer pollinating insects because the flower form (simple/semi‑double/double) and reduced stamen accessibility limit pollen and nectar access.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers mostly enclose the stamens, making it primarily an ornamental variety
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
Tolerates heat moderately; generally performs consistently with regular watering and does not favour prolonged drought.

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.
