Zaraus hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre own-root
Step out to meet the rain and discover Zaraus, a dark red hybrid tea rose that glows against soft Irish light, bringing an air of romance to even the smallest cottage or terraced front garden. Its elegant, medium-sized blooms open scarlet, maturing through velvety wine tones to brick‑mahogany, giving weeks of changing colour on a single bushy plant. A clear, citrusy fragrance lifts the mood on damp days and after showers, while moderate disease resistance supports easy-going care in humid weather. Own‑root planting means the bush keeps its variety traits reliably, quietly building long-term stability and the capacity to regenerate if cut back hard. Look forward to steady development – roots in year one, strong shoots in year two, and full ornamental impact by year three – with reblooming waves that extend your flowering season in a typical Irish family garden.

Target area
Reasoning
Front-of-house planting for Dublin terraces
The compact, bushy habit and dark red, medium-sized flowers create a tidy yet luxurious look along small front boundaries where space is tight. Moderate disease resistance supports low-effort care in urban humidity for the time-poor beginner.
Irish cottage garden mixed border
Repeated waves of rebloom bring dependable colour through much of the season, even in summers that feel short and cool, supporting that relaxed, “girly” cottage look without constant replanting for the casual hobbyist.
Feature rose near seating or path
The fresh, citrusy medium-strength scent is easily appreciated at close range, making Zaraus ideal beside a bench or path where you pass often with a cup of tea, suiting fragrance-loving homeowners.
Long-term structure in a family garden
As an own-root shrub, Zaraus keeps its identity and shape for many years and can regenerate well after hard pruning or weather damage, giving reassuring longevity for planning family spaces for practical gardeners.
Small rose bed or focal group
Its bushy form (around 80–110 cm high) and recommended spacings make it simple to design a compact rose bed with good air flow and a solid block of colour, even for those unsure about layout among urban residents.
Seasonal highlight in heavy clay gardens
When set in a slightly raised position with improved drainage and a mulch layer, the robust shrub and repeat-flowering habit turn challenging clay into a reliably flowering feature, encouraging cautious beginners.
Large containers on patios and balconies
Planted in a 40–50 litre pot with drainage holes and good quality compost, Zaraus forms a stable, long-lived container specimen whose rebloom and colour change offer an evolving view for busy city-dwellers.
Classic, low-maintenance rose display
The combination of stable colour, moderate disease resistance and own-root resilience delivers an understated yet enduring display that fits effortlessly into everyday family life, even where frequent Atlantic showers shape the year for practical owners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Romantic – Combine Zaraus with soft pink perennials and airy grasses for a feminine cottage feel along picket fences – ideal for lovers of traditional, “girly” gardens.
Front-Door Welcome – Flank your entrance with two large containers of Zaraus underplanted with trailing ivy for a neat, long-lived greeting – perfect for busy terraced-house residents.
Evening-Glow – Pair its dark red flowers with pale catmint and white foxgloves so blooms stand out at dusk – suited to those who enjoy quiet evenings outdoors.
Structured-Border – Use a short row of Zaraus at 50–60 cm spacing as a low hedge, backed by evergreen hollies for year-round framework – great for orderly, low-maintenance planners.
Season-Extender – Mix Zaraus with long-flowering companions like St John’s-wort so colour continues between rose flushes – helpful for gardeners wanting impact with little effort.

Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy shrub with upright habit, typically 80–110 cm tall and 60–80 cm wide; moderately dense, dark green, slightly glossy foliage; moderately thorny stems; suitable for beds, borders and larger containers.

Medium-sized, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on stems; reblooms well with a plentiful second flush during the season, offering extended ornamental interest in gardens.
Colour data and phenology
Closed buds deep red and velvety; flowers open vivid scarlet with orange-red glow, then deepen to velvety burgundy, finally softening toward brick-mahogany with darker edges; colour retention rated very good.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength scent with a fresh, citrusy character; fragrance is best appreciated at close range in still conditions, making the variety well suited to planting near seating, entrances or paths.

Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to approximately –21 to –18 °C (USDA zone 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3); disease resistance moderate overall, with powdery mildew, black spot and rust also in the moderate range under typical garden conditions.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
ZARAUS – dark red hybrid tea rose - pharmaROSA®
Product Type:
antoniaROSE® ORIGINAL - rós i bpota 2 lítear ar a fhréamhacha féin
Flower Colour:
Scarlet-red flower with dark maroon–black shading on the petal edges.
Closed Bud:
Deep red with a velvety sheen, darkening towards the tips.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Uniform, vivid scarlet tone with a slightly warm, orange-red glow at the base of the petals.
Full Bloom:
Rich, velvety burgundy overall appearance.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The red softens, turning to a brick–mahogany shade, with a brownish darkening at the edges.
Colour Fading Description:
On opening the bright scarlet changes to a velvety wine‑red, then before fading it softens and shifts to a brick‑mahogany shade with brownish darkening at the edges.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very double flower form — as opposed to simple or semi-double types — hides the stamens and limits access to nectar and pollen, so it attracts few pollinators.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose-hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally producing ellipsoid, orange-red (RHS 40A) hips 10–14 mm in diameter.

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.
