SASAD – pink hybrid tea rose – Márk
Reliable mid-pink blooms, a healthy upright bush and a pleasantly fragrant character make SASAD an easy rose to live with in an ordinary family garden. Bred in Hungary in 1967, it has proved long-lived and robust, with good disease resistance that suits busy gardeners who prefer simple routines and no complicated spraying schedules. As an own-root plant it develops a stable, well-shaped bush over time, supporting a genuinely long garden life with steady flowering year after year. In typical British conditions it copes well when given a sunny bed and reasonable drainage, even on heavier soils where raised planting helps manage winter wet. Large, double, mid-pink blooms repeat generously through summer, providing reliable colour for cutting and borders alike. Over the first few seasons you will see a natural progression as roots establish, shoots strengthen and the plant reaches its full ornamental effect in the third year. Its moderately strong tea-fruity scent and classic hybrid tea shape blend beautifully into traditional front gardens and cottage-style mixes.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Small front garden feature rose
The upright, bushy habit and moderate height make SASAD ideal as a single focal point by a gate, path or front door, offering clear mid-pink blooms without overwhelming a small plot; a straightforward choice for the beginner.
Low-maintenance family border
Good resistance to black spot, mildew and rust keeps foliage clean with minimal intervention, suiting mixed borders where you want dependable colour rather than constant care; a practical solution for the busy.
Cutting patch or vase garden
Large, double, solitary flowers on upright stems lend themselves to cutting, so a short row or small group will provide repeat bunches of mid-pink, tea-shaped blooms for the house; very rewarding for the home florist.
Classic rose bed in a cottage-style scheme
Even, warm mid-pink tones blend easily with perennials and traditional companions like lavender and lady’s mantle, giving a soft, romantic effect without tricky colour clashes; ideal for lovers of classic borders.
Small group planting (3–5 plants) in front garden
Planting a loose group at the recommended spacing creates a tidy, repeat-flowering block of colour that fills space reliably while staying easy to manage, especially where you want structure without complex design; perfect for the typical homeowner.
Specimen rose near seating areas
The moderately strong tea-fruity fragrance is best appreciated close-up, so positioning one or two plants beside a bench or terrace brings scent and colour into everyday use; a thoughtful choice for garden relaxation.
Rose for heavier or challenging garden soils
As an own-root plant forming its structure in situ, SASAD adapts well over time, anchoring securely even where heavier clay needs raised beds or improved drainage to cope with prolonged winter damp; reassuring for cautious gardeners.
Long-term, easy-care rose planting
With low maintenance needs, reliable repeat flowering and a growth pattern that builds from root establishment to a mature, stable bush by its third year, SASAD suits those planning for lasting structure; well matched to long-view planners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-curve border – Line a gently curving front-garden bed with SASAD and underplant with lady’s mantle and soft grasses for relaxed, low-maintenance charm – ideal for cottage-style enthusiasts.
Front-door welcome – Position a single plant by the path with lavender and dwarf catmint for scent and soft colour greeting you daily – perfect for busy homeowners wanting easy impact.
Pink cutting strip – Plant a short row of SASAD along a sunny fence, leaving access for picking stems for vases – suited to home florists who like regular garden bouquets.
Structured mixed border – Use groups of three SASAD among mock orange and perennials to give upright, repeat pink accents that anchor the planting – good for those seeking order without formality.
Family seating corner – Place SASAD near a bench with herbs and low shrubs so fragrance and colour can be enjoyed at close quarters – ideal for families who relax outdoors.

Pollinator Attraction:
Double (fully double) blooms, where the stamens are largely obscured and less accessible, attract pollinators only to a limited extent.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
A fully double-flowered variety, therefore primarily ornamental with limited pollinator value; however, its somewhat more open flowers with visible stamens moderately attract bees.

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.
