SCHÖNE BERLINERIN® – pink hybrid tea rose
Invite a touch of storybook romance to your garden with SCHÖNE BERLINERIN® – an upright hybrid tea whose warm pink blooms bring a soft, feminine charm to classic borders and cottage-style beds. Each large, cupped flower opens from elegant buds into a luminous pink, gently veiling to silvery pastel, perfect beside a lawn, path or kitchen-garden herbs. Bred in Germany for reliable garden use, it offers steady, repeat flowering through the season with medium care needs: straightforward pruning and occasional deadheading keep it tidy and productive. Planted as an own-root rose in a sunny, well-prepared spot – or in a generous 40–50 litre container – it anchors itself securely and copes well where gardens meet stronger breezes and unsettled weather. Over time, its dense, glossy dark green foliage builds a stable, permanent structure in the border, giving long-lasting presence and colour without the fuss of short-lived bedding. The practical own-root form underpins a long garden life and easy regeneration, offering dependable value in everyday family gardens as the plant matures from initial establishment to a fully developed feature.
Usage options
| Target area |
Reasoning |
| Main rose bed in a family garden |
The upright, bushy habit and dense, glossy foliage create a tidy, structural presence that sits well in a central rose bed, giving height without overwhelming smaller spaces and providing long-term ornamental value for busy family gardeners. |
| Romantic cottage-style border |
Warm, feminine pink blooms that veil to silvery tones echo traditional cottage borders and pair harmoniously with soft perennials, offering a “girly” English countryside feel from a single, reliable hybrid tea for lovers of romantic planting. |
| Specimen by a seating area or arbour |
Solitary, large, exhibition-type flowers carry a refined, nostalgic look when grown as a specimen near a bench, pergola or afternoon tea corner, adding a calm focal point for homeowners seeking a graceful feature. |
| Cutting patch for indoor vases |
The long-stemmed hybrid tea form with sizeable, well-shaped blooms makes it ideal for cutting, giving you regular, garden-grown stems for simple arrangements and classic vases for those who enjoy home-cut flowers. |
| Mixed border with herbs and perennials |
Its medium maintenance and upright, bushy shape integrate easily among thyme, bellflowers and low asters, keeping order in mixed borders without complex care routines for beginners building a classic layout. |
| Sunny front garden or entrance |
Reliable repeat flowering and a compact 80–110 cm height suit smaller, visible spaces, giving a welcoming cottage look that remains neat with basic pruning and deadheading for urban gardeners with limited time. |
| Large container on terrace or patio |
In a 40–50 litre or larger pot, its upright form and dense foliage create a vertical accent that is easy to access for watering and light pruning, while remaining stable in breezier, more exposed spots for balcony and patio owners. |
| Long-term, low-fuss planting scheme |
The own-root form supports a long lifespan and good regeneration; after a settling period the plant steadily strengthens, then reaches full ornamental effect with ongoing repeat blooms and dependable structure for gardeners planning for the future. |

Technical cultivar profile
| Property |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Schöne Berlinerin® hybrid tea rose, registered as TANrised; ARS exhibition name Schoene Berlinerin; hybrid tea group and commercial type, bred primarily for garden and cutting use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers for Rosen Tantau in Uetersen, Germany; breeding completed 1985, registered 1985 and introduced 1986, with parentage not officially recorded. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright, bushy shrub 80–110 cm tall and 50–70 cm wide, with moderately thorny stems and dense, dark green, glossy foliage forming a stable, medium-sized garden bush. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, cupped to chalice-shaped double flowers with roughly 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on stems; remontant habit with a strong second flush and further repeat cycles in season. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Warm pink blooms with a subtle peach tint; outer petals paler, inner petals deeper; colour fades gently to a soft silvery-pink veil as flowers age, giving layered pastel effects over time. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very light scent with a delicate rosy character, generally perceived as barely noticeable in the garden; chosen more for its colour and form than for strong fragrance impact. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces few hips under normal garden conditions; where formed, hips are small, orange-red, ellipsoid, around 12–18 mm, so ornamental fruiting effect is limited and unobtrusive. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); disease resistance medium to black spot and powdery mildew, with good rust resistance under typical conditions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best in sunny positions for beds, specimens and cutting; medium care level with regular deadheading and basic plant protection; plant 45–90 cm apart, around 3–4 plants per m² for mass effect. |
SCHÖNE BERLINERIN® offers reliable repeat flowering, compact structure and long-lived own-root resilience, making it a considerate choice for gardeners seeking enduring pink elegance with manageable care.
