DELSTROBLA – red-white bedding floribunda rose – Delbard
With its painterly, striped blooms and reliable repeat flowers, this Les Roses de peintres® floribunda brings colour, rhythm and classic cottage-garden structure to beds and borders without demanding expert care. Bushy, upright growth and dense, glossy foliage create a neat, compact habit that fits perfectly into front gardens and small spaces, even where you must manage heavier soils and rainy, breezy conditions near the coast with sensible drainage. Medium-sized, cup-shaped clusters provide a long season of interest for low-effort impact, while the fresh raspberry fragrance adds gentle perfume near paths and windows. As an own-root plant it settles in steadily, forming a durable, regenerating framework that rewards light annual trimming more than complicated pruning, giving you dependable flowering year after year.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden feature bed
The bushy, upright habit and dense, glossy foliage create a tidy, eye-catching mound that frames paths and doorways, ideal where you want quick visual structure from a small group of plants with only basic seasonal care – perfect for the busy homeowner
Classic cottage-style border
Striped carmine and cream blooms sit beautifully among perennials, echoing traditional painterly borders while the remontant flowering ensures colour returns through the season without complex pruning or staking, so the border stays charming yet manageable for the cottage-garden enthusiast
Small urban garden or patio edge
Compact height and 45–65 cm spread make it easy to place in narrow beds along fences or paving; regular but simple deadheading keeps it flowering for months, offering strong impact in limited space without demanding advanced skills from the city gardener
Mixed floribunda group planting
Recommended spacings from 35–60 cm allow flexible layouts, from tight hedging to looser drifts, giving reliable seasonal colour and a coherent look when you repeat just a few plants, ideal for those wanting straightforward design decisions and easy mowing lines for the practical planner
Decorative hedge or low divider
The upright, branching framework knits together well when planted in rows, forming a low, floral partition for driveways or front boundaries; own-root growth helps the hedge recover if sections are pruned harder, supporting long-term structure for the orderly garden owner
Cut-flower patch in family gardens
Clustered, large double blooms and medium, fruity fragrance lend themselves to casual cutting for the house; taking a few stems at a time does not spoil the bush and encourages new growth, adding value to a small cutting corner for the home bouquet lover
Roses in challenging, wetter districts
Moderate disease resistance combines with glossy foliage to keep plants looking respectable where summers are damp and breezy, provided you give reasonable drainage and air movement, supporting confident planting even in rain-prone areas for the weather-conscious gardener
Containers and large terrace pots
In a 40–50 litre or larger pot with good drainage, its compact, upright form and remontant flowering provide a long, scented season close to seating areas; own-root resilience helps the plant fill the container steadily over time, suiting the low-fuss balcony and patio owner
Styling ideas
Painterly trio – Plant three DELSTROBLA in a triangle near the front door, underplant with low silver foliage for contrast – ideal for homeowners wanting a strong focal point with minimal upkeep
Cottage ribbon – Weave a short row through a mixed cottage border with salvias and airy gypsophila to soften edges – suited to those who love traditional charm without intricate design work
Striped accent pot – Grow one plant in a 50-litre terracotta container by a sunny bench for close-up colour and fragrance – perfect for balcony and patio users seeking one reliable statement rose
Family-friendly hedge – Line a low path or driveway with a loose row, mixing in white perennials for brightness – good for families wanting clear garden structure that is easy to trim and maintain
Simple cut-flower corner – Group five roses in a small rectangular bed as a dedicated cutting patch – designed for beginners who would like regular vase flowers from a straightforward planting
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Bedding floribunda rose from the Les Roses de peintres® collection; registered as DELstrobla, marketed under the exhibition name ‘Henri Matisse’ for garden and cutting use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Georges Delbard in France from complex hybrid tea and floribunda parentage; introduced and registered in 1993–1994 as a distinctive striped floribunda for beds.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub 75–105 cm tall and 45–65 cm wide, with dense, dark glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a compact, well-branched framework in average gardens.
Flower morphology
Fully double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne in clusters; large-flowered floribunda type providing abundant first and second flushes, though spent blooms benefit from deadheading.
Colour data and phenology
Carmine-red base overlaid with irregular white streaks and spots; colours soften to raspberry-pink and creamy white as flowers age, with striping remaining visible and medium overall colour retention.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength perfume with a fresh, fruity raspberry character; best appreciated near paths, seating and entrances where air movement carries the scent gently.
Hip characteristics
Rose hips form only occasionally due to very double blooms; when present they are small, ovoid, orange-red and mainly of incidental ornamental value late in the season.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately –21 to –18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); disease resistance is moderate, responding well to basic hygiene and, if needed, occasional fungicidal care.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers full sun and fertile, well-drained soil; recommended spacings 35–60 cm depending on use; best performance with regular deadheading, balanced feeding and avoidance of prolonged waterlogging.
DELstrobla Les Roses de peintres® DELstrobla offers painterly striped blooms, remontant flowering and compact structure on a durable own-root plant; a thoughtful choice if you would like reliable colour with straightforward care.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
DELSTROBLA – red-white bedding floribunda rose - Delbard
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Flower Colour Description:
A deep carmine-red ground colour is broken by vivid, irregular white streaks and spots.
Closed Bud:
On the dark red surface, pale pink–white hairline streaks run across.
Newly Opened Flower:
Contrasting snow-white bands and spots appear on the intense red petals.
Full Bloom:
The cup-shaped flower displays marbled, mixed carmine and white petals.
Before Fading:
The red tone fades to raspberry-pink and the white areas take on a creamy hue.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the intense carmine-red tone fades to raspberry–pink, the white areas turn creamy; the striping remains and may lighten further in strong sunlight.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its fully double (telt) blooms conceal the reproductive organs, leaving the stamens largely inaccessible and making it of low attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partly conceal the stamens, so it has limited pollinator-friendliness and is primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Rose hip formation is expected to be scant due to the double flowers; occasionally forming egg-shaped, orange-red rose hips 8–12 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.
