Abracadabra ® Fantasia® – red-yellow bedding floribunda rose
This striking floribunda brings a sense of magic to small and medium gardens with its red-and-yellow striped blooms, ideal for classic cottage borders and neat front gardens where you want colour without complexity. Its bushy, upright habit and dense, glossy foliage give reliable structure, while semi-double clusters repeat flower generously through the season, rewarding you with an ever-changing display. As an own-root plant it settles in securely, building a long-lived, balanced shrub that can regenerate well after pruning. With simple deadheading and modest care, it responds quickly, producing new flowering shoots rather than demanding intricate maintenance. In typical British conditions it copes well when summer showers and breezes sweep through, provided the soil is well prepared to manage heavier clay and excess moisture. In its first season it focuses on rooting, the second on building shoots, and by the third year it delivers its full ornamental value.

Reasoning
Front garden feature bed near the house
The vivid striped flowers create an instant talking point at the front of the property, while the compact, bushy habit keeps the planting tidy and in scale with low windows and paths. With basic deadheading and watering, it offers reliable repeat flowering for beginners.
Low, colourful edging along drives or paths
Regularly spaced plants at 50–60 cm centres form a bright, coherent edging that guides the eye and softens hard paving. Its upright, not sprawling, habit makes it easy to keep clear of paths, needing only straightforward winter pruning for busy-owners.
Small mixed cottage-style border
In a cottage mix with perennials and small shrubs, its striped red-yellow blooms add a playful accent without overpowering the space. The balanced growth and own-root resilience mean it can sit in the same spot for years, maturing steadily for long-term-planners.
Compact rose bed in a family back garden
When planted in groups of three to five, it quickly builds a dense, colourful bed that looks impressive from the patio. The semi-double clusters repeat well, so even with modest feeding and basic care you get consistent flowering from late spring to autumn for homeowners.
Statement rose in a large container
In a 40–50 litre container with good drainage, it forms a neat, upright shrub whose bold flowers show beautifully on terraces or balconies. The own-root form helps it cope better with periodic re-potting and pruning, remaining a durable choice for urban-gardeners.
Small specimen rose with structural foliage
The dense, dark green, glossy foliage provides year-round visual structure, so the plant still looks composed between flushes of bloom. This makes it useful as a single specimen in smaller spaces where you want a rose that never looks bare for design-conscious.
Family garden planting in exposed, changeable weather
Its upright, well-branched structure and moderate disease tolerance make it suitable for many British gardens, coping well when wet, breezy periods alternate with warmer spells, as long as the planting area drains reasonably after heavy rain for coastal-owners.
Informal cut-flower corner
The long stems and showy striped blooms lend themselves to informal indoor arrangements, and cutting encourages fresh growth and more clusters. Simple, once-a-year structural pruning keeps the shrub productive and manageable for hobby-florists.
Styling ideas
COTTAGE STRIPE – Combine with soft mauve perennials and airy ornamental grasses so the striped blooms read as cheerful highlights rather than the whole story – ideal for romantic cottage-garden fans.
GLOSSY FRONTAGE – Plant a simple row along a low picket fence, letting the dark foliage and bright flowers frame the boundary cleanly – suitable for homeowners wanting a smart, low-fuss front garden.
CONTAINER FOCUS – Use a single plant in a 50 litre terracotta pot with trailing thyme and blue lobelia at the base for seasonal contrast – perfect for balcony and patio gardeners seeking moveable colour.
TRIO ACCENT – Group three plants in a small bed, underplant with low evergreen groundcover to keep soil shaded and neat between flushes – good for families wanting a clear, easy-care focal point.
STRUCTURED MIX – Set against clipped small-leaved hollies or box alternatives so the rose provides colour while the evergreens hold the shape – suited to those who like ordered planting with lively flowers.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bed rose marketed as Abracadabra ® Fantasia®, registered as KORamsaro; exhibition name Abracadabra, used mainly as a decorative shrub rose in gardens.
Origin and breeding
Bred by W. Kordes & Sons in Germany around 2004, introduced commercially in 2014 through W. Kordes’ Söhne, with parentage not published by the breeder.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 80–110 cm in height and 50–80 cm spread, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickliness suitable for beds and borders.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, cupped blooms with 13–25 petals, carried mostly in clusters of medium to large flowers that repeat well, providing abundant second and later flushes in season.
Colour data and phenology
Deep carmine-red base with cream to lemon-yellow stripes, sometimes peach tones; colours hold well with only moderate lightening in strong sun, creating a striking striped effect at full bloom.
Fragrance and aroma
Very weak fragrance with a delicate, classic rose character, generally unobtrusive, making it suitable near seating areas for those preferring visual impact without strong scent.
Hip characteristics
Produces spherical orange-red hips, around 6–10 mm in diameter, moderately abundant, adding discreet late-season interest where spent flowers are not fully removed.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b), with moderate resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, benefiting from good site choice and routine monitoring.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny beds or borders at 50–90 cm spacing, in well-drained soil; maintain with seasonal feeding, watering in dry spells, and regular deadheading to compensate for weak self-cleaning.
Abracadabra ® Fantasia® offers eye-catching striped colour, a compact, dependable habit and long-lived own-root resilience; a considered choice if you want a distinctive but manageable rose for the garden.
Flower Colour Description:
The petal ground colour is deep carmine red, crossed by lemon-yellow stripes.
Closed Bud:
Raspberry to crimson-red base, with white marbling and scattered speckling visible at the edges.
Newly Opened Flower:
On a vivid carmine-red ground, irregular cream–butter-yellow, in places peach-coloured streaks and splashes appear on the inner surface.
Full Bloom:
A red–white 'striped' effect dominates; the red areas tend towards a slightly raspberry shade and the whites may turn creamy.
Before Fading:
The red tone softens, turning to a burgundy‑raspberry; the light bands can take on a creamy, slightly yellowish hue.
Pollinator Attraction:
Semidouble (simple/semidouble/double) 13–25‑petal flowers moderately attract pollinators, as the semidouble form and partially obscured stamens reduce pollen and nectar accessibility compared with simple blooms.

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.
