BEST IMPRESSION® – red-and-white tea-hybrid rose
BEST IMPRESSION® brings a touch of storybook romance to an everyday family garden, with high-centred, exhibition-style blooms that instantly make a lasting impression. Its cherry-red and cream-white striped flowers fit perfectly into a “girly” cottage border, whether beside a kitchen garden path or near a favourite seating corner. As an own-root, container-grown plant in the pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre range, it settles in reliably and builds up for the long term, even where you face persistent wind and driving rain. You can rely on a bushy, upright habit, dense mid-green foliage and repeat flowering through summer for dependable colour. Over the first few seasons the plant steadily strengthens – roots in the first year, more generous shoots the second, and a full ornamental display by about the third – with simple, flexible care suiting busy home gardeners.

Supplied on its own roots, the shrub regenerates reliably from the base after hard pruning or winter damage, supporting a long garden lifespan and stable appearance with fewer replacement costs for budget-conscious
Medium-sized family garden with limited gardening time

Characteristic
Data

Origin and breeding
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers, Rosen Tantau, Germany, from unknown parentage; bred 2004, introduced and registered in 2012, initially distributed by Rosen Tantau in European markets.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub 90–120 cm tall and 45–65 cm wide, moderately thorny shoots, dense mid-green, slightly glossy foliage creating a compact, well-filled silhouette in beds or containers.
Flower morphology
Very double, high-centred, cut-flower style blooms held mostly singly on stems; medium flower size with 40+ petals, remontant habit providing a good second flush in suitable conditions.
Colour data and phenology
Cherry-red base with cream-white stripes and spots; each flower uniquely patterned, shifting towards softer pink and pastel marbling as it ages, with moderate colour retention through the bloom cycle.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength sweet, fruity scent; fragrance best appreciated at close range or in cut stems indoors, giving a classic hybrid tea experience without being overpowering on the patio.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
