Monika – Hybrid tea rose – TANaknom
Monika brings a classic hybrid tea look to family gardens with reliably upright growth and elegant, high-centred blooms that cut beautifully for the vase. Its bright orange to soft peach flowers add impact from early summer onwards, with remontant flowering that returns in waves whenever you deadhead. Bred by Rosen Tantau for good health, it offers reassuring resistance to common rose diseases, an advantage in wetter, wind-exposed British gardens where drainage and steady performance matter. The dark green, glossy foliage forms a tidy, moderately dense backdrop that stays attractive across the season, helping the plant keep its structure as it matures. As an own-root rose, it develops steadily into a long-lived, stable bush with dependable colour display and renewal from the base. In a typical front garden bed, you can enjoy a simple development arc – first the roots, then the shoots, then the full ornamental value over three seasons, with minimal intervention beyond basic watering and pruning. With its blend of show-bench heritage and everyday garden reliability, this 2-litre plant is designed to settle in quickly and reward you with years of refined, easy-care bloom.
Monika shows a high-centred, pointed-budded flower form.

Target area
Reasoning
Feature rose in a small front garden bed
The tall, upright habit and high-centred hybrid tea blooms give strong focal-point presence even in compact spaces, while disease resistance keeps the plant looking clean beside paths and driveways with minimal spraying for busy homeowners and beginners.
Classic cottage-style mixed border
Remontant flowering ensures repeat colour among perennials, echoing traditional cottage borders where roses weave through herbaceous planting; its predictable structure helps you plan layers without complex pruning, ideal for style-conscious but time-poor gardeners.
Cutting corner for home arranging
Solitary, long-stemmed blooms with high-centred form are ideal for cutting, so a small group of plants will supply regular stems for the house through the season, supporting those who enjoy home floristry but value low-effort, dependable planting.
Small group planting (3–5) in front garden
Planted at the recommended spacing, several bushes create a coherent, hedge-like block of orange-toned colour and dark foliage, giving a neat, impactful frontage that needs only routine deadheading and occasional shaping for appearance-focused owners.
Specimen rose in lawn or gravel
The height and glossy foliage allow it to stand alone as a specimen, forming a vertical accent that reads clearly from the street; own-root vigour and simple care suit those wanting a single, statement rose without advanced horticultural skills.
Partial-shade side garden or narrow strip
Its tolerance of partial shade lets you place it where many roses sulk, such as side returns or east-facing beds, still delivering good flowering when combined with sensible watering and basic feeding for practical urban gardeners.
Large container on terrace or patio
In a 40–50 litre or larger container, its upright habit and repeat blooms create a refined patio rose; own-root resilience means it copes well with repotting and long-term culture, provided watering is regular, appealing to low-maintenance patio owners.
Structured rose-and-shrub composition
Reliable health and a clear vertical outline make it a useful “anchor” rose among shrubs such as dogwoods, especially in sites exposed to rain and wind where dependable performance and good drainage are important for committed but busy family gardeners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-curve – Plant three Monika in a gentle arc with lavender and catmint to evoke a soft cottage-garden look – ideal for homeowners wanting romance without intricate maintenance.
Front-focus – Use a single plant near the front door with low box edging and alliums for a smart yet welcoming entrance – suited to urban families seeking tidy, reliable structure.
Sunset-duet – Pair Monika with warm-toned echinacea and soft ornamental grasses to echo its orange-peach palette – perfect for design-led gardeners who enjoy harmonious colour schemes.
Patio-hero – Grow it in a 50 litre terracotta pot with trailing thyme at the base for scent and soft edges – good for balcony and terrace users wanting impact from one key container.
Winter-contrast – Combine a small group of Monika with Cornus sericea ‘Flaviramea’ so summer flowers hand over to winter stem colour – attractive to those who value year-round visual interest.

Awards and recognition
New Zealand Certificate of Merit at the New Zealand Rose Trials in 1990, reflecting solid garden and show performance in independent international assessment.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright habit, 130–170 cm tall, 80–120 cm spread; moderately dense, dark green glossy foliage; moderately thorny stems; self-cleaning only partial, so deadheading is recommended.

Fiery orange-copper buds with yellow-golden reverse; bright orange with golden-yellow shading, later soft peach with pink-tinged edge; ARS PB, RHS 14B outer, 30A inner; moderate colour retention.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance very weak to barely perceptible; primarily a visual and structural garden and cutting rose rather than a scent-focused variety, best chosen for colour impact and flower form.

Limited hips due to regular deadheading; when present, small 6–10 mm ellipsoid orange-red hips, occasionally decorative in late season but not a primary ornamental feature.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Good resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately –26 to –23 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 4, USDA 5b); moderate heat and drought tolerance with irrigation in dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to beds, borders, specimens and cutting; plant 55–100 cm apart, 2.4–2.7 plants/m² in groups; thrives in well-drained soil, performs in partial shade, benefits from deadheading and light annual pruning.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
MONIKA – orange tea-hybrid rose - Evers
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Closed Bud:
Deep copper-red colour with pale golden-yellow tips.
Newly Opened Flower:
Fiery orange-copper petals with a yellowish-golden underside.
Full Bloom:
Intense orange surface with a golden-yellow shade inside.
Before Fading:
Orange fading to a pale peach with a delicate pink-tinged edge.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening, the intense orange–copper shade gradually lightens to a pale peach colour, with a delicate pinkish tone at the edge.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its highly double flowers make it less attractive to pollinators, as the double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit insects’ access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers partially hide the stamens, so it is only marginally pollinator-friendly and is primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Hip formation is expected to be limited due to removal of double and spent flowers; occasionally produces ellipsoid, orange‑red 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.
