Dauphine™ bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2‑litre own‑root
Elegant clustered blooms of vivid cyclamen‑raspberry pink give Dauphine™ a refined presence in classic front gardens, with dense, glossy foliage supporting the floribunda display. This upright, medium‑sized shrub forms a tidy structure that suits small beds and borders, without dominating neighbouring plants. Bred by Gaujard in 1955, it combines reliable remontant flowering with modern disease performance, resisting black spot and powdery mildew for easier maintenance in typical British conditions, even where heavy soil demands careful drainage and thoughtful positioning. Its own‑root form settles in steadily, offering long‑term longevity as the bush matures and thickens, while a naturally compact spread of around 60–80 cm keeps planting schemes orderly for busy home gardeners.

Target area
Reasoning
Front‑garden feature bed by the path
The medium‑height, upright habit forms a clear, structured presence that frames entrances without blocking light or views. It keeps its shape well as it ages, making it ideal where you want a rose to mark the approach to the house year after year with minimal reshaping, giving enduring value for beginners.
Small bedding groups in cottage‑style borders
Clustered floribunda flowering creates generous colour from each stem, so even 3–5 plants quickly read as a coherent block of pink. This makes designing cottage‑style drifts simpler, as you gain plenty of impact from a modest planting area, supporting those who prefer straightforward choices for homeowners.
Long, edging rows along drives or paths
The naturally compact spread and recommended close spacing allow neat, continuous lines that remain within bounds. Regular deadheading keeps the flowers tidy, while the plant’s predictable size avoids the need for complicated pruning plans, suiting those seeking a well‑kept look for busy‑gardeners.
Mixed borders with shrubs and evergreens
Dense, glossy foliage and well‑branched growth give a stable framework that sits comfortably among small shrubs and evergreens. Over time the own‑root plant thickens from the base, supporting a balanced outline without gaps, which helps maintain design integrity for style‑conscious.
Season‑long colour in family gardens
Its remontant nature, with an abundant second flush, keeps the border lively beyond the first summer display. With sun, moisture and feeding, you can expect a steady rhythm of flowering that underpins a colourful, welcoming garden through the main season for colour‑lovers.
Roses in heavier or more challenging soils
Dauphine™ offers a useful balance of vigour and resilience, including reliable black spot and powdery mildew resistance, so you are not constantly fighting leaf problems. In UK gardens, where improved drainage or raised beds may be needed, this robustness supports dependable results for practical‑gardeners.
Long‑term planting schemes around the house
Being grown on its own roots, rather than grafted, it can regenerate from the base and maintain bush quality over many years. As roots establish, stems strengthen and the ornamental effect builds, supporting designs planned to mature gracefully over time for long‑view.
Patio or terrace in a large container
Its compact width and upright form adapt well to a substantial pot of at least 40–50 litres, where regular watering and feeding are easier to manage than in open ground. This lets you enjoy refined pink bedding‑rose colour on balconies, patios or small courtyards for urban‑gardeners.
Styling ideas
Classic‑border – Plant Dauphine™ in groups of three with Japanese holly and clipped box shapes to echo formal front‑garden borders – ideal for homeowners who like ordered, traditional lines.
Cottage‑drift – Weave small clusters through low pink and white perennials for an easy cottage look with long‑season colour – suited to beginners wanting charm without complex planning.
Entrance‑focus – Flank a front path or doorway with paired plants for a welcoming, structured accent – perfect for those seeking a simple but elegant statement at the house approach.
Mixed‑structure – Combine with bluebeard and compact grasses to contrast dense rose foliage with airy textures – attractive for gardeners who enjoy layered, contemporary‑meets‑classic planting.
Container‑accent – Grow a single plant in a 50‑litre terracotta pot on the patio, underplanted with low yarrow to soften the base – a good choice for small‑space urban gardens.

Vivid cyclamen‑raspberry pink flowers; carmine buds open to mid‑pink centres, edges lightening then softening to burgundy‑raspberry and powdery rose tones as they age.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
DAUPHINE™ – pink bedding floribunda rose - Gaujard
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Closed Bud:
Deep carmine–fuchsia pink, darkening towards the tips.
Newly Opened Flower:
The outer petal ring is vivid carmine, the inner petals mid-pink with a raspberry undertone, paler at the bases with a cool pink flush.
Full Bloom:
Intense cyclamen–raspberry pink overall, with the outer edges gently lightening while the inner petals are fuller and deeper in shade.
Before Fading:
The pink softens and shifts towards a burgundy‑raspberry, the edges fade to a rose‑powdery shade.
Colour Fading Description:
Moderate fading is observed during opening: the edges lighten, the colour eventually mutes to a burgundy–raspberry and the margins fade to a rosy–powdery tone.
Pollinator Attraction:
The cultivar’s heavily double flower form (as opposed to simple or semi‑double) hides the stamens and reduces their accessibility, making it only weakly attractive to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers hide the stamens, making it primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Rose-hip production is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally it produces ellipsoid, orange-red hips 10–14 mm in diameter.

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.
