KONSTANTINA™ – pink bedding shrub rose – Tanjga
Konstantina brings richly petalled, marbled pink blooms in a compact border shrub that fits effortlessly into today’s family gardens, coping well even where wind and rain demand a sturdy, weather-tolerant planting. Its bushy habit (around 60–85 cm high) stays neat and rounded, ideal for small beds, cottage-style front gardens and near-the-door planting where you want a reliable splash of colour rather than a high-maintenance showpiece. Clusters of rosy flowers repeat generously through the season, with crimson-pink buds opening to deep pink cups streaked and marbled with creamy white as they mature. Planted as an own-root, 2-litre shrub, it settles in steadily and offers a reassuring development arc – roots in year one, stronger shoots in year two, full ornamental value by year three – supporting the long-term lifespan you expect from a garden staple. With sparse prickles and moderate care needs, it is straightforward to prune, easy to combine with classic cottage companions and rewarding even for busy or beginner gardeners.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden feature near the entrance
KONSTANTINA™ forms a tidy, bushy shrub that stays around 60–85 cm, giving welcoming colour without blocking windows or paths. Its compact spread suits the limited planting strips typical of urban and suburban front gardens, offering structure with minimal shaping for beginners.
Small ornamental bed in a family garden
The moderate planting distance (about 60 cm) allows 1–5 plants to fill a small bed with a cohesive, low hedge of repeat flowers. Own-root growth helps the shrub build a stable framework over time, so the planting matures into a long-lived, dependable feature for busy homeowners.
Mixed cottage-style border with perennials
Its medium height slots neatly between lower edging plants and taller cottage perennials, while the marbled pink-and-white blooms blend naturally with blues, creams and soft purples. The bushy habit and moderate foliage density help tie mixed plantings together for aesthetics-focused gardeners.
Container planting on patios or paved front areas
The compact, upright habit works well in a large container of at least 40–50 litres, where roots have room to develop and the plant remains stable in wind. Repeat flowering provides season-long interest beside seating areas or front doors for small-space gardeners.
Low flowering hedge along paths or drives
Recommended hedge spacing around 50 cm allows KONSTANTINA™ to form a loose, low line of colour without needing intricate pruning. The shrubs knit together gradually on their own roots, giving a resilient boundary edge that responds well to simple annual trimming for low-maintenance seekers.
Border planting in heavier garden soils
As a moderate-sized shrub on its own roots, KONSTANTINA™ can be established in improved, well-drained spots even where typical British gardens have heavier soils, particularly when planting in raised or slightly mounded beds for more cautious UK gardeners.
Season-long colour focus in small groups
Planted in groups of three to five, the remontant flowering habit ensures phases of bloom from early summer onwards, so even a modest bed feels colourful for much of the season. This steady performance builds confidence for those wanting reliable results for new gardeners.
Flexible pruning schemes in informal designs
The moderately dense, bushy structure tolerates light annual pruning or a more thorough cut-back, so you can adapt care to time and experience. With typical watering during prolonged dry spells, it establishes securely even without complex techniques, suiting time-pressed family gardeners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-rimmed path – Line a front path with KONSTANTINA™ at 50–60 cm, underplant with chives and low campanulas for a soft, traditional edge – ideal for lovers of classic cottage charm.
Compact patio trio – Plant three shrubs in individual 40–50 litre containers, adding dwarf heucheras at the base for foliage contrast – suitable for small patios and balcony-style spaces.
Soft pink focal bed – Create a central round bed of five plants, encircled by low perennials in white and lavender for a calm, cohesive look – appealing to homeowners wanting simple structure.
Family-friendly frontage – Use a loose row along the front lawn, keeping shrubs below window height for neat impact with easy pruning – designed for busy family gardens.
Mixed-texture border – Combine KONSTANTINA™ with airy grasses and repeat-flowering perennials, letting its marbled blooms punctuate a relaxed planting – perfect for informal, naturalistic tastes.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Shrub rose, flowerbed type in the Freska® collection, registered as BOZkonfre and marketed as KONSTANTINA™; also listed under Konstantina™ Freska® BOZkonfre for garden use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga for Pheno Geno Roses, with European introduction in 2022 and later distribution in North America via Spring Meadow Nursery and Proven Winners.
Growth and structural characteristics
Forms a bushy shrub around 60–85 cm high and 50–75 cm wide, with moderately dense medium green foliage and relatively sparse prickles, giving a compact, manageable garden presence.
Flower morphology
Produces medium-sized, very full, cluster-borne blooms with over 40 petals in cupped to chalice form, flowering repeatedly with a notably abundant second flush through the season.
Colour data and phenology
Buds and young flowers show deep crimson-pink with bright white streaks; as blooms mature they fade to mid-pink with softer, creamy white marbling, maintaining good overall colour retention in the garden.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak, with only a light sweet note detectable at close range, making the variety chosen more for visual effect than for strong scent in planting schemes or cut use.
Hip characteristics
Hip set is generally low due to the very double flowers; occasional small, spherical orange-red hips 6–10 mm across may form, adding limited but discreet late-season interest.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7; USDA 6b), with good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot and moderate vulnerability to rust, benefiting from care in very humid sites.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to borders, containers and specimen use at 50–90 cm spacing; prefers typical garden conditions with watering in extended dry spells and some protection in extremely humid periods.
KONSTANTINA™ offers compact, bushy growth, repeat marbled pink flowering and flexible pruning on a durable own-root framework, making it a thoughtful choice for long-lived, easy-going garden colour.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
KONSTANTINA™ – pink bedding shrub rose - Tanjga
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Foliage:
The variety's foliage is moderately dense, the surface texture of the leaves is not clearly classifiable, and their colour is a medium green shade (RHS 137A).
Closed Bud:
The dark pink surface is streaked with irregular, narrow white lines.
Newly Opened Flower:
Crimson-pink background with vivid, snow-white streaks and spots.
Full Bloom:
The outer part of the petal is deep pink, the inner part a paler shade, and the white pattern remains pronounced.
Before Fading:

Colour Fading Description:
Upon opening the deep pink ground colour fades to mid-pink; the white markings remain pronounced and later soften to creamy white.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very full (double) flowers make it poorly attractive to pollinators, because double flower forms often obscure or reduce access to the stamens and nectar.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double, densely petalled flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Hip formation is expected to be minimal due to the double flowers; occasionally it produces spherical, orange‑red (RHS 40A) hips 6–10 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.
