CLARITA™ – orange-red hybrid tea rose – Meilland
Step outside to a world of cheerful colour with CLARITA™, a classic hybrid tea rose that brings a sense of contentment to Irish cottage and city front gardens. Large, XL orange-red blooms with a soft coral fade appear repeatedly through the season, creating a gentle rhythm of flowering even when summers feel short and skies stay grey with frequent coastal showers and rainfall. Its bushy, moderately compact growth suits small beds, narrow terraces and paths, while glossy dark foliage sets off the vivid petals in soft light. Bred for robust resistance to the main rose diseases, this own-root rose settles in gradually, building roots in year one, strong shoots in year two and full ornamental value by year three, so you can enjoy long-lived, low-fuss garden pleasure.

Reasoning
Feature rose near the front door
Used as a specimen by the entrance, CLARITA™ offers large, vividly coloured blooms that greet you on everyday comings and goings, with a soft, harmonious scent that never overwhelms. Its easy-care habit suits busy households and time-poor beginners.
Irish cottage-style mixed border
In a cottage border, its bushy habit and repeat flowering give steady colour between perennials, while own-root growth ensures the plant recovers well from wind, rain and occasional pruning slips, rewarding patient hobby-gardeners.
Dublin terraced-house front garden
Where space is tight, CLARITA™ sits neatly at 70–100 cm, providing upright, tidy structure and a reliable flush of XL blooms from a small footprint, ideal for compact plots tended by urban homeowners.
Low-maintenance family garden bed
Good resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust keeps foliage healthy with minimal spraying, letting you focus on simple tasks like deadheading and mulching, a relief for busy-parents.
Cut-flower corner for the house
Long-stemmed, solitary flowers with classic hybrid tea form are excellent for cutting, bringing the garden indoors in vases and small arrangements, especially appreciated by fragrance- and colour-loving city-dwellers.
Small hedge or row along a path
Planted at about 50–60 cm, CLARITA™ forms a low, colourful line that marks paths or drive edges without dominating the view, offering structure and repeat colour useful to practical-minded garden planners.
Large container on patio or balcony
In a 40–50 litre or larger pot with good drainage, this rose performs well in sunny, sheltered spots, giving an easy-care feature for renters or balcony gardeners who still want a “proper” rose, appealing to space-conscious urbanites.
Weather-tolerant coastal garden planting
In exposed, damp locations, its disease resistance and sturdy, bushy growth help it cope with moist air and frequent showers typical of Atlantic-influenced gardens, giving reassurance to coastal-region gardeners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Romantic Row – Plant CLARITA™ in a short line by a picket fence with lavender and catmint to soften edges and perfume the air – ideal for relaxed cottage-garden lovers.
Warm-Glow Trio – Group three plants in a sunny front bed with Crocosmia ‘Lucifer’ and tawny daylilies for fiery, sunset tones – perfect for colour-driven home stylers.
Elegant Entrance Pot – One rose in a 50 litre clay pot, underplanted with trailing thyme, frames a doorway beautifully – suited to neat, design-conscious urban residents.
Grasses-and-Roses Mix – Combine CLARITA™ with Panicum virgatum ‘Sangria’ and soft ornamental grasses for movement and contrast – appealing to contemporary, nature-oriented gardeners.
Kitchen-Cut Patch – Dedicate a small square near the back door to CLARITA™ and herbs like rosemary for handy cutting and scent – ideal for practical, flower- and food-loving families.

Awards and recognition
Gold medal at the Geneva International Rose Competition in 1971 and featured as an award-winning variety under the name Atoll in several specialist rose catalogues.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy hybrid tea rose reaching about 70–100 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread; moderately dense, glossy, dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a neat, upright bush.
Flower morphology
Very large, double, cup-shaped hybrid tea blooms, usually solitary on stems, with 26–39 petals; remontant with an abundant second flush, though spent flowers generally need manual deadheading.
Colour data and phenology
Vivid orange-red with vermilion undertone; deep orange-red buds, intense at opening, then softening through uniform orange-red to pale coral as flowers age; RHS 34A outer, 33B inner petals.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, subtly scented rose fragrance with a soft, harmonious character; pleasant at close range without being overpowering, making it suitable for entrances, seating areas and cut-flower use.

Rose hips form only occasionally due to the double flowers; when present they are ovoid, about 12–18 mm across, orange-red in colour and usually of minor ornamental significance.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Good resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; reliably hardy to about –15 to –12 °C (RHS H6, Swedish zone 2, USDA 7b), suitable for most mild, damp Irish garden conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny sites with well-drained soil; spacing 50–60 cm in rows or 90 cm as specimen, with 2.8–3.2 plants/m² in mass plantings; ideal for borders, hedging, features and cut flowers.
CLARITA™ offers vivid XL blooms, reliable repeat flowering and low-maintenance, disease-resistant own-root growth, making it a thoughtful choice for long-lasting colour in everyday Irish gardens.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
CLARITA™ – orange-red hybrid tea rose - Meilland
Product Type:
antoniaROSE® ORIGINAL - rós i bpota 2 lítear ar a fhréamhacha féin
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very full (fully double) flower form makes it less attractive to pollinators, because the dense petal formation typical of fully double blooms conceals the stamens and limits their accessibility.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partially cover the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited; it is primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally 12–18 mm diameter, ovoid, orange-red rose hips are produced.

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.
