DUNAV™ – pink bedding shrub rose
Romantic clusters of mid-pink blooms make DUNAV™ a charming choice for relaxed family gardens, bringing a soft, storybook cottage feel to beds and borders even where wind-exposed sites and heavier soils call for thoughtful planting. This compact, reliable shrub rose was bred for urban landscapes, so it copes calmly with the changeable British climate and the demands of busy home life, offering consistently tidy growth with low effort. Its dense, dark green foliage frames the flowers beautifully and, being a stress‑tolerant, healthy cultivar, it supports long-term structure in small to medium gardens. As an own‑root plant it develops steadily and lives for many years, quietly rebuilding itself from the base for lasting, balanced flowering without complicated techniques. You can enjoy its compact mounds in the border, along a path or in a generous container, using light annual pruning or simple thinning as suits your style. Over successive seasons it settles in and becomes part of the garden’s gentle daily rhythm, giving you that cosy afternoon‑tea atmosphere with minimal maintenance. Think in terms of strong roots in the first year, fuller shoots in the second, and by the third year a rounded plant at its full ornamental potential.

Reasoning
Front of a mixed cottage border
The bushy, compact habit and mid-pink clusters sit naturally at the front of a mixed cottage-style border, where they weave easily among herbs and perennials without overwhelming smaller spaces. Suits those seeking a soft, traditional look for a family garden.
Small to medium bedding schemes
Its uniform height and dense foliage make it ideal for neat, low bedding schemes, giving reliable colour and structure without constant deadheading or shaping, especially useful in busy suburban plots. Well suited to time-pressed urban homeowners.
Low-maintenance front garden planting
Selected for landscape use, this stress-tolerant rose keeps its form and health with minimal intervention, so front gardens stay smart and welcoming with just basic annual pruning and seasonal feeding. Ideal for low-effort beginner gardeners.
Informal flowering hedge
Planted at closer spacing, it forms a low, flowering hedge with good foliage cover from top to bottom, giving a gentle boundary between drive, path and lawn while remaining easy to clip as needed. Best for those wanting classic structure in a traditional setting.
Large containers and courtyard pots
In 40–50 litre or larger containers it becomes a rounded, stable feature, its balanced growth and moderate size ensuring a pleasing outline without frequent repotting, ideal for patios and courtyards. A good choice for space-conscious balcony or terrace owners.
Family play garden borders
The compact spread and modest height keep it within bounds beside lawns and play areas, while its robust health means fewer chemical interventions, helpful in child‑friendly, pet‑friendly family spaces. Fits safety-minded parents and carers.
Rural kitchen and cutting beds
Regular remontant flowering provides a steady supply of mid-pink stems for informal jugs, and its dependable regrowth makes it a long-lived component among herbs and vegetables, suiting relaxed country schemes. Perfect for lovers of cottage-style kitchen gardens.
Exposed beds in breezy or coastal locations
Bred as a tough landscape rose, it anchors well in open borders and keeps its bushy outline even where winds and heavy showers are frequent, remaining a steady, low-maintenance presence over many seasons. Particularly useful for practical, outcome-focused garden owners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Ribbon Border – Run DUNAV™ in a gently curving line along a path with creeping thyme at the edge and pastel foxgloves behind for a soft, layered cottage effect – for romantically minded homeowners.
Kitchen-Garden Edging – Use it as a low rose edging to frame vegetable beds, interplanting with chives and marigolds to echo its pink tones while keeping a neat, productive feel – for rural kitchen-garden enthusiasts.
Cosy Patio Trio – Plant three specimens in 50-litre terracotta pots, underplant with trailing lobelia and soft mint for scent and colour around a small seating area – for balcony and terrace gardeners.
Storybook Front Walk – Create a low flowering hedge on both sides of a front path, alternating DUNAV™ with lavender to combine tidy structure, fragrance and an inviting, traditional entrance – for families who enjoy classic kerb appeal.
Pastel Bedding Drift – Mass plant in a loose drift with white geraniums and soft blue catmint, using its compact, regular shape to hold the scheme together over the season – for those planning easy-care mixed borders.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Shrub rose from the Reka® collection; registered as BOZreka021, marketed as Dunav™ / Reka®; a pink bedding shrub rose for beds, borders and containers.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga for Pheno Geno Roses; introduced in 2019 via Pheno Geno Roses b.v. and d.o.o. for landscape and home-garden use.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, bushy shrub 45–65 cm high and 40–60 cm wide, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickles, forming rounded, tidy mounds.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double, cupped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne in clusters; remontant with an abundant second flush, giving extended seasonal colour in beds.
Colour data and phenology
Fresh mid-pink flowers; buds deeper pink, opening to lighter edges and finally pastel tones before senescence; moderate colour retention under normal garden conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, understated scent without a defined character; double flowers offer limited access for pollinators, so it is chosen mainly for visual effect rather than fragrance.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small, spherical red hips, about 5–8 mm in diameter, adding discreet late-season interest but not a primary ornamental feature of the cultivar.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated H7 and hardy to around –21 to –18 °C; described as very healthy, with good resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust in typical garden settings.
Horticultural recommendations
Thrives in beds, borders, mass plantings, parks and large containers; space at 35–70 cm depending on use, maintaining low-effort care with simple annual pruning.
DUNAV™ offers compact, romantic pink flowering, dependable low-maintenance health and long-lived own-root resilience, making it a thoughtful addition to small and medium family gardens you plan to enjoy for years.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
DUNAV™ – pink bedding shrub rose - Tanjga

Colour Fading Description:
During opening the mid-pink hue moderately fades; at full bloom it lightens slightly at the edges and, before senescence, turns a pastel pink.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39 petals) flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent because the double form reduces access to the stamens, limiting pollen and nectar availability.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
According to the description it is very healthy and reliable; there is no separate data on its heat–drought tolerance.

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.
