MY DAD – yellow flower bed floribunda rose – Matthews
Sunny borders, classic cottage front gardens and relaxed family plots all suit MY DAD, a bushy yellow floribunda bred for reliable colour and a long garden life on its own roots. Medium-height, upright growth and dense foliage keep beds looking orderly without constant shaping, while the very double, cup-shaped flowers open in warm, sun-yellow clusters that repeat generously through the season. The clean, rose-spicy fragrance adds gentle charm to everyday use, whether you plant a short hedge, a compact bed or a mixed border near the house. Once planted in decent soil with sensible drainage even on heavier ground, MY DAD gradually builds roots, then stronger shoots, and by the third year shows its full ornamental potential with dependable performance that suits busy beginners as well as experienced gardeners.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden bed along the path or drive
The medium-height, bushy yet upright habit creates a neat, low visual barrier that frames paths and driveways without overpowering the space. Repeating yellow clusters give an immediate welcome and are easy to combine with small shrubs or perennials in a typical family front garden, suiting those who want cheerful structure with minimal effort for the busy homeowner
Small group planting near the house
Planting 3–5 bushes together at the recommended spacing quickly builds a dense, coherent clump of foliage and bloom that looks intentional even in modest plots. The floribunda flowering pattern means you gain many medium blooms instead of a few large ones, extending visual impact from windows and seating areas for the aesthetics-focused beginner
Mixed cottage-style border
The warm sun-yellow flowers and dark, glossy foliage slip easily into classic cottage mixes with blues, purples and whites. Because the plant forms a stable, own-root bush over time, it anchors looser plantings without needing fussy pruning, allowing perennials to weave around it while still keeping the border readable for the cottage-garden enthusiast
Low flowering hedge or property boundary
At 110–150 cm tall with a 70–100 cm spread, MY DAD lends itself to short hedges that separate play areas, lawns or patios. Regular, remontant flowering softens boundaries and gives privacy without feeling heavy, and the consistent shape makes trimming straightforward for the practical garden owner
Dedicated rose bed in a family garden
Square or hexagonal planting at the suggested density produces a full, organised bed that covers soil quickly and reduces weeding. Own-root plants settle in, thicken up year by year and can regenerate if cut back harder after harsh winters, supporting long-lived, low-fuss displays for the long-term planner
Feature planting in a small urban garden
The tidy, upright structure and bright flowers make a compact focal point near entrances, patios or terraces. Even with only one or two plants, you get a strong colour accent and fragrance without needing large borders, ideal where space is limited but you still want dependable form and bloom for the urban balcony-and-courtyard owner
Large container on patio or terrace (40–60 litres)
In a sufficiently large pot with good drainage, MY DAD performs as a manageable patio rose, its dense foliage and repeated flowering creating a solid vertical presence. The own-root system adapts well to container conditions and recovers reliably after winter pruning, giving continuity over many seasons for the container gardener
Informal park-style or lawn island planting
Planted in a small island bed in turf or an informal park corner, the rounded, upright shrubs read clearly from a distance, and the vivid yellow stands out against grass and shrubs. With sensible soil preparation and drainage, it handles typical British weather and maintains a composed outline that needs only seasonal attention for the time-poor hobby gardener
Styling ideas
Sunny welcome – Plant a trio of MY DAD by the front gate with low lavender or nepeta to edge the path, giving a bright, scented first impression – ideal for homeowners who favour classic, simple structure.
Cottage mix – Combine MY DAD with verbena, salvia and hardy geraniums in soft blues and purples for an airy cottage effect, the roses providing the backbone – suited to those who enjoy relaxed, romantic planting.
Gold and white – Pair MY DAD with white foxgloves, daisies or white-flowering verbenas so the yellow clusters glow without overwhelming the border – good for gardeners seeking a calm but uplifting palette.
Family corner – Use MY DAD as a low hedge around a lawn seating or play area, underplanting with tough groundcovers to reduce weeding – perfect for families wanting colour with little ongoing work.
Patio focus – Grow one plant in a 40–60 litre container beside a favourite chair, adding seasonal bedding at the base for extra colour – appealing to balcony and terrace users who like a single, easy focal point.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bed rose; registered as MATtmaf, traded as MY DAD Bedding rose MATtmaf; exhibition floribunda for ornamental beds with the name chosen in honour of the breeder’s father.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Bob Matthews at Matthews Nurseries Ltd, New Zealand; parentage not recorded. Introduced 2018 after 2017 registration, developed as a bedding floribunda for strong colour and garden versatility.
Awards and recognition
Awarded a Certificate of Merit at the International Rose Trial in Palmerston North in 2018, confirming its ornamental and garden performance under trial conditions.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrubs typically 110–150 cm high and 70–100 cm wide, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickles, forming a solid, rounded outline suitable for beds, hedging and feature uses.
Flower morphology
Very double, cup-shaped blooms with 40+ petals, produced in clusters on branching stems. Large-flowered floribunda type, remontant with particularly abundant second flush flowering through the main season.
Colour data and phenology
Deep golden yellow buds open to vivid sun-yellow flowers; outer petals lighten to creamy pale yellow as they mature. Colour retention is moderate, creating gentle tonal variation rather than a single flat shade.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength scent described as clean and rose-spicy, noticeable at close quarters without being overpowering, adding sensory interest to paths, patios and seating areas in everyday garden use.
Hip characteristics
Double blooms set hips only occasionally; when present they are small, spherical, around 8–12 mm across, orange-red in colour and generally of minor ornamental significance compared with the flowers.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately –21 to –18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b). Disease resistance is moderate to common fungal issues, so occasional preventive care is advisable in humid or high-pressure seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions with well-prepared soil; recommended spacing 55 cm for mass planting, 50 cm for hedging and 90 cm as a specimen. Suitable for beds, parks, large pots and cutting garden use.
MY DAD combines bright repeat-flowering clusters, a tidy upright habit and long-lived own-root reliability, making it a reassuring choice for gardeners seeking lasting structure and colour with straightforward care.

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.
