BORDURE ROSE™ – pink floribunda bedding rose – Delbard
Compact and naturally low-growing, BORDURE ROSE™ forms a neat, cushion-like mound that sits beautifully at the front of borders and along paths, suiting typical family gardens where you want colour without fuss. Its floribunda clusters produce a long season of cream and vivid-pink blooms, creating a refined, patterned effect that works equally well in classic cottage-style plantings and smart, tidy front gardens. Bred by Delbard and recognised with multiple awards, this bed rose offers reassuring quality for those who simply want to plant and enjoy. As an own-root rose it establishes steadily and can give many years of balanced growth with modest care, coping reliably even in breezy sites and typical British weather where good drainage and regular watering matter. Its medium maintenance needs are easily managed with basic seasonal attention, making it an appealing choice for beginners as well as more experienced gardeners planning low hedges, edging or small groups. Ideal for modest beds and front gardens, it fits into everyday routines: straightforward planting, simple pruning options and predictable flowering. In the first year it concentrates on roots, in the second on shoots, and by the third year it reveals its full ornamental value.

Reasoning
Front garden bed by the drive or pavement
The naturally low, cushion-like habit keeps sightlines clear while giving a well-kept, colourful edge to drives and pavements. Its compact structure limits the need for frequent pruning, ideal where access is tight and time is short for a busy homeowner.
Small groups in a mixed cottage-style border
Planted in groups of three to five, the abundant floribunda clusters create a repeat-flowering block of pink and cream that reads clearly from a distance. This structured colour helps visually unite looser cottage perennials, supporting gardeners who prefer simple planting choices.
Low flowering hedge along a path or terrace
The even height and dense branching lend themselves to a tidy low hedge at 35–40 cm spacing. Occasional light trimming is sufficient to maintain a defined line, delivering reliable seasonal colour without the formality or upkeep of clipped evergreen hedging.
Feature planting in small family gardens
The combination of compact growth and strong bloom production gives clear impact without overwhelming limited space. It provides a long-lived, structural “anchor” plant that children and adults can enjoy year after year with only moderate care from time-pressed householders.
Roses for exposed, breezier suburban plots
The stocky, low build is naturally more stable in wind than taller, leggy roses, so it sits securely in typical British suburban gardens. With sensible soil preparation for good drainage and watering in dry spells, it remains dependable for cautious, risk-averse gardeners.
Easy-care colour for busy or novice gardeners
Once established, this variety offers dependable flowering with only medium maintenance: basic feeding, watering in dry weather and occasional pest checks. The own-root form supports gradual regeneration, offering a reassuring margin of error for beginners.
Long-term planting in permanent beds
As an own-root rose it builds a stable framework over time, without the graft union vulnerabilities of budded plants. This makes it well suited to beds you do not wish to redesign often, appealing to long-term planners and experienced gardeners.
Large containers on patios or small front gardens
In a 40–50 litre or larger container with quality compost and regular watering, its compact outline and repeat blooming provide a neat, reliable potted feature. This works especially well for small paved fronts and patios maintained by style-conscious urban homeowners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-ribbon – run a low line of BORDURE ROSE™ along a path, interspersed with clumps of garden phlox for soft height and pastel layering – for lovers of relaxed cottage style.
Front-frame – plant a short hedge beside the drive, underplanted with low evergreen herbs to keep winter structure and summer scent – for homeowners wanting a tidy, welcoming approach.
Patio-jewel – grow one or three plants in a 50 litre terracotta pot with feather reed grass behind to contrast the rose’s neat mound with vertical movement – for small-space urban gardeners.
Colour-duet – combine BORDURE ROSE™ with scarlet bee balm behind it so the pink-and-cream blooms sit in front of red plumes, creating a rich summer focal point – for confident colour enthusiasts.
Family-border – group several plants at the front of a mixed border to give a reliable “pink base” under taller perennials, keeping the overall look orderly yet soft – for busy families wanting easy order.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bed rose, registered as DELbara, marketed as BORDURE ROSE™ (also known as Strawberry Ice). Belongs to the Border roses collection and is classified as an exhibition floribunda.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Georges Delbard in France before 1973 from complex floribunda parentage including Goldilocks, Virgo, Orange Triumph, Yvonne Rabier and Fashion. Introduced and registered in 1973.
Awards and recognition
Holder of at least fourteen national and international medals, including Médaille d’Or at Lyon 1975 and a silver medal at the Monza International Rose Competition the same year.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, rounded shrub 50–70 cm high and wide with dense, dark green, glossy foliage. Moderately thorny stems and a naturally low, cushion-like habit make it ideal for edging and front-of-border use.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double blooms with 26–39 petals, produced in clusters of three to seven per stem. Cup-shaped flowers repeat freely through the season, with the second flush also notably abundant.
Colour data and phenology
Flowers cream-white at the petal base with vivid pink edges (RHS 68B outer, 36D inner). Pink tones can fade in strong sun, leaving a softer creamy-white effect in hotter spells and a sharper contrast in cooler conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
No noticeable fragrance, classified as a scentless rose. Fully double flowers restrict access to stamens and, together with the weak scent, mean it functions primarily as a visual ornamental rather than a pollinator plant.
Hip characteristics
Occasionally forms small spherical hips, about 5–9 mm in diameter, coloured orange-red (RHS 40A). Hip production is generally light and does not significantly affect the overall ornamental display in most seasons.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3). Displays moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, benefiting from standard preventive care in humid, disease-prone seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions with well-drained soil; water regularly in prolonged drought. Suitable for beds, edging, containers and low hedges at 35–65 cm spacing, with medium maintenance including occasional pest control.
BORDURE ROSE™ offers compact, award-backed flowering, reliable repeat blooms and long-lived own-root robustness, making it a thoughtful choice for easy, enduring structure in your garden.
Competition and Show Awards:
Lyon – Médaille d’Or (1975); Monza – Silver medal, International Rose Competition (1975); Other national and international awards (total 14 medals)
Pollinator Attraction:
Its fully double flower form, restricted access to the stamens and weak fragrance make it less attractive to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partly obscure the stamens; its weak fragrance makes it unattractive to pollinators, so it is primarily an ornamental variety.

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.
