Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 – orange-red landscape shrub rose

If You are looking for a compact shrub rose that gives a vibrant splash of colour without taking over Your garden, Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 is a modern landscape shrub that fits beautifully into Irish family beds and front borders. Its compact 35–55 cm habit makes it easy to place along paths, around patios or near the front door, where the warm orange-red blooms create a welcoming first impression. Clustered, double pompon flowers appear in generous flushes, with a strong first display and a second remontant wave that is also plentiful, so You see colour over a long season rather than a brief show. This own-root plant is delivered in a 2‑litre pot, already well established and ready to settle in; once planted, it forms its own balanced bush structure for a naturally long lifespan with steady ornamental value. The variety is ideal for simple, repeating planting schemes in small front gardens and neat beds, where its dense foliage helps fill gaps and gives a tidy, low hedge effect. With thoughtful site choice and drainage it copes better with Ireland’s frequent rain and humidity, making it easier to manage in the long term. If You give it room to root in year one, to build shoots in year two and to reach full garden impact by year three, Tara™ Reka® gradually becomes a reliable, easy-to-read feature in a busy household’s outdoor space, perfect for anyone who wants a rose that simply works in everyday garden life.

Use cases

Target area Reason
Front garden edging along driveways or paths The 35–55 cm compact habit naturally forms a low, regular edging line that is easy to read from the street and from Your windows, ideal when You want a smart, structured look without complex pruning for beginners
Small rose groups in family beds Planting 3–5 bushes together at the recommended spacing quickly builds a dense, low mound of colour that softens hard edges in average-sized Irish gardens, suiting people who prefer a simple, repeatable planting pattern for homeowners
Colour accent near the front door or terrace The warm orange-red clusters read strongly from a distance and hold their effect as they fade to softer pastels, so one or two plants can lift a doorway or patio area with long-season flower interest that feels cheerful yet manageable for busy-gardeners
Low informal hedge in cottage-style borders Dense foliage and branching allow Tara™ to be planted as a low, informal hedge at 25–30 cm intervals, giving a gently billowing line that suits informal cottage schemes while staying low enough not to block light for cottage-gardeners
Containers on balconies, patios or small urban spaces In a 40–50 litre container with good drainage, the compact root system adapts well and the shrub keeps its tight shape, allowing You to enjoy generous colour on balconies or paved yards where border space is limited for urban-gardeners
Mixed planting with shrubs and evergreens Its modest height and rounded shape slip easily in front of lower evergreen shrubs or grasses, providing seasonal flower colour while the slightly glossy mid-green foliage supports a full planting picture over many years for design-conscious
Repetitive planting in modern landscape-style beds The variety’s suitability for higher planting densities, together with its consistent shape, makes it ideal for repeating across beds or public-style plantings where a uniform, textural mass of colour is wanted, yet still manageable at home for practical-gardeners
Beds where wet, mild weather is common When set into well-prepared soil with improved drainage, its compact frame and own-root resilience help it cope more steadily with Ireland’s cool, damp seasons and frequent rain, even under persistent air moisture and fungal pressure for Irish-gardeners

Decorating ideas

  • Warm cottage welcome – Line a short front path with Tara™ and underplant with low lavender for scent and soft texture – ideal for cottage-gardeners wanting a friendly first impression
  • Urban colour block – Arrange three plants in a 40–50 litre trough with blue fescue and white alyssum to create a simple, modern colour band – perfect for busy urban-gardeners
  • Soft sunset bed – Combine Tara™ with apricot floribundas and pale cream perennials to echo the rose’s fading pastel tones – suited to homeowners seeking gentle, romantic borders
  • Evergreen backdrop – Plant Tara™ in front of compact cherry laurel or New Zealand flax so the bright clusters pop against the dark foliage – great for those who like strong contrasts with low complexity
  • Family play garden edge – Use Tara™ as a neat, colourful border beside lawns or play areas, mixing in hardy geraniums for extra ground cover – appealing to families wanting colour with simple upkeep

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter Data
Name and registration Modern shrub (landscape shrub) rose from the Reka collection. Registered as BOZreka024, marketed as Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024, classified commercially as a bed rose for landscape-style plantings.
Origin and breeding Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga at PhenoGeno Roses in Serbia. Parentage is unknown. Registered in 2023 and introduced after 2023 via PhenoGeno Roses as initial distributor.
Growth and structure Compact, evenly rounded shrub 35–55 cm high and wide, moderately thorny shoots, with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage giving good ground coverage and a tidy, low-profile structure.
Flower morphology Large, double, ball to pompon-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals. Flowers are carried in clusters, providing a massed effect. Remontant, with a particularly abundant second flush after the main flowering.
Colour and phenology Vibrant, warm orange-red flowers with slight red dominance. Buds open deep orange-red, then lighten to bright tones, eventually fading towards pinkish-orange pastel shades with paler rims and centres over time.
Fragrance and aroma Very weak, subtle rose fragrance with a gentle rosy character. Primarily grown for its vivid and lasting colour effect in beds and borders rather than for strong scent or aromatic garden use.
Rose hip characteristics Rose hips form only occasionally due to the double flowers. When present they are small, spherical, orange-red hips about 6–10 mm in diameter, adding minor late-season ornamental interest.
Resistance and hardiness Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (USDA zone 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3). Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so regular monitoring and protective treatments are essential for good performance.
Horticultural recommendations Best in flower beds, parks, urban green spaces or containers. Requires consistent plant protection and care. Recommended spacing 25–50 cm; 10–11 plants/m² for mass planting; use at least a 40–50 litre pot for containers.

Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 offers compact, low edging height, vivid orange-red flowering and reliable long-term structure as an own-root shrub that can regenerate and settle into Your garden with time, making it a thoughtful choice if You like planning ahead.

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.
