BEST IMPRESSION® – red-and-white tea-hybrid rose
Bring a touch of romantic cottage charm to even the smallest Dublin front garden with BEST IMPRESSION®, a hybrid tea whose high‑centred blooms open in painterly marbled cherry‑red and cream‑white. This own‑root shrub settles in steadily and is bred to cope calmly with Irish rainfall and heavier garden soils when drainage is sensibly improved. Its medium height and upright, bushy habit slip easily into mixed borders, while each long‑stemmed flower is perfect for a single‑stem vase on your kitchen table. The sweet, fruity fragrance is noticeable without being overpowering, adding a gentle lift each time you pass. With regular deadheading, its remontant flowering pattern keeps new buds coming, allowing you to enjoy those distinctive, artist‑like blooms from early summer well into the season.
Freshly opened Best Impression® bloom with cherry-red petals and creamy-white stripes.

Target area
Reasoning
Cottage-style front garden focal point
The upright, bushy form and striking striped flowers create an instant “girly” statement by a gate or doorway, while own-root resilience makes it a long-lived anchor plant with simple yearly pruning for beginners.
Feature rose in a mixed flower bed
Planted at about 85 cm from other shrubs, the medium-tall structure and dense foliage give vertical interest, and the long flowering season keeps colour weaving through perennials in a typical family back garden for busy-owners.
Small hedge or row along a path
Spacing at 40 cm allows a gently formal edging where the marbled blooms repeat along the line; own-root growth helps the hedge knit together reliably over the years with minimal gaps for planners.
Cutting patch for home bouquets
The high-centred, long-stemmed blooms are classic hybrid tea cut flowers, with each bud opening slowly so you can cut at different stages and enjoy their sweet, fruity scent indoors as thoughtful gifts for hosts.
Accent plant in a terraced-house front border
In a narrow strip by railings, its controlled spread and eye-catching bicolour flowers offer strong street-side impact without taking over; regular deadheading fits easily into short gardening sessions for commuters.
Large container on patio or balcony
Grown in a 40–50 litre pot with good drainage, this rose gives reliable summer colour near seating areas, and the own-root system copes well with repotting and long-term container life for apartment-dwellers.
Season-long colour with simple care routine
Remontant flowering and moderate disease resistance mean that, with basic feeding, deadheading and an occasional spray in damp summers, you still enjoy weeks of bloom across typically short Irish summers for easy-care-seekers.
Future-proof, long-lived garden investment
Starting with root building in year one, stronger shoots in year two and fuller ornamental presence by year three, the own-root plant recovers well from setbacks and keeps its character for long-term-owners.
Styling ideas
Stripe-Showcase Bed – mass-plant along a path at hedge spacing to create a rhythmic run of striped blooms – ideal for design-conscious family gardeners.
Cottage-Romance Mix – combine with airy Liatris ‘Kobold’ and soft grasses for a relaxed, “girly” front border – perfect for cottage-style enthusiasts.
Patio-Centrepiece Pot – grow one plant in a 50 litre terracotta container with trailing herbs at the base – suited to balcony and small-terrace dwellers.
Kitchen-Cut Patch – set a short row in the veg or cutting area for repeat stems that slip easily into jugs indoors – great for home florists.
Calm-Contrast Corner – pair with silvery Artemisia and fine Panicum for a soft, meadowy look that highlights each bloom – made for nature-leaning urban gardeners.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as TAN04247, marketed as Best Impression® Hybrid tea rose TAN04247, premium silver merit rating and confirmed cultivar authenticity for reliable garden performance.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers for Rosen Tantau in Germany, cross parentage undisclosed, breeding completed in 2004 and introduced to the market in 2012 through Rosen Tantau distribution.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 90–120 cm high and 45–65 cm wide, with moderately thorny stems and dense, mid‑green, slightly glossy foliage forming a well-filled, elegant garden bush.
Flower morphology
Large, 7–10 cm, very double, high‑centred hybrid tea blooms borne mainly singly on stems, classic pointed buds well suited to cutting, requiring deadheading as spent flowers are not strongly self‑cleaning.
Colour data and phenology
Vibrant cherry-red base with cream-white stripes and spots, RHS 53A outer and 155C inner, gradually fading to softer pink and cream, creating a pastel, marbled effect just before petal drop.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength sweet, fruity fragrance, present on both buds and fully open flowers, adding sensory value in seating areas and enhancing the appeal of stems used indoors as cut flowers.
Hip characteristics
Hip set usually low due to very double flower form; if present, expect small, 8–13 mm, ovoid hips coloured orange‑red (RHS 41A), generally of minor ornamental significance in most planting schemes.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated moderately resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, benefits from basic preventive care; hardy approximately to −21 to −18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3 and USDA 6b.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny sites with well-drained soil; space 50 cm in beds, 40 cm as hedge, 85 cm as specimen, allowing 4.0–4.6 plants/m², with regular deadheading and occasional plant protection when needed.
BEST IMPRESSION® offers romantic striped blooms, a sweet fruity scent and reliable repeat flowering on a durable own-root shrub, making it a thoughtful long-term choice for your Irish garden.

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.
