Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 – orange-red landscape shrub rose

Vibrant clusters of warm orange-red blooms give Tara™ a compact, tidy presence that fits beautifully into classic front gardens and neat cottage-style borders. Its dense, mid-green foliage creates a reliable structure in small beds and around paths, while the double, pompon-shaped flowers repeat generously through the season for sustained colour. In typical British conditions it copes well with breezy sites, offering reassuring stability even where gardens are exposed to frequent wind and rain off the coast. As an own-root shrub it knits into the soil over time, supporting a long-lived, low-fuss display once established. Planted in a well-prepared bed or a large 40–50 litre container and given simple seasonal care, you can expect roots to settle in the first year, bushy new growth in the second, and its full ornamental impact by the third, providing lasting confidence for busy or less experienced gardeners.

Usage options

Target areaReasoning
Front garden feature shrub Tara™’s modest 35–55 cm height and spread make it ideal for small front gardens where you want a visible yet well-contained focal point by the path or entrance. The compact habit keeps it from overwhelming narrow spaces, while the warm orange-red flowers give strong presence from the street, suiting those who want clear structure without elaborate pruning – beginners
Low formal edging to paths or drives The regular size and dense foliage allow Tara™ to form a low, uniform edging when planted at the recommended distances, creating a neat frame to paths, driveways or lawn edges. With repeat flowering, the edging does not become visually flat across the season, and the double blooms hold their shape well as they fade to softer pastel tones – tidy-gardeners
Small mixed cottage-style border The rich orange-red clusters blend well with cottage-garden perennials and evergreen shrubs, adding a warm accent among softer colours and textures. Its landscape-shrub background supports a stable outline that works as an anchor plant in small borders, so herbaceous companions can change around it over the years without losing the overall composition – style-conscious
Urban courtyard or patio container (40–50 litres) In a generously sized 40–50 litre container Tara™ can develop a balanced root system and maintain its rounded, shrubby form on balconies, roof terraces or paved courtyards. The manageable dimensions suit tight urban spaces, while the long seasonal colour helps to soften hard surfaces and bring life to sitting areas close to the house – urban-owners
Small-group planting in beds (1–5 plants) Planted in a compact group, the uniform height and repeat-flowering habit create a cohesive block of colour that reads as one feature from a distance. This allows you to achieve a professionally planned look in mid-sized family gardens with relatively few plants, making planning and maintenance straightforward while still giving generous visual impact – busy-families
Colour accent in evergreen framework Among evergreen shrubs such as cherry laurel or compact ceanothus, Tara™ acts as a seasonal spark of colour without disturbing the overall outline of the planting. The dense mid-green foliage ties in with surrounding structure when not in flower, so beds remain coherent even between peak flushes, preventing the “gappy” look that some seasonal plants create – structure-seekers
Exposed, breezy family gardens The relatively low, stocky growth and strong framework make Tara™ less prone to windrock than taller, top-heavy roses, which is useful in gardens open to frequent coastal winds and driving rain. Once the own-root system has matured, the shrub forms a stable, well-anchored presence that continues to flower reliably with simple, regular care – coastal-owners
Simple low hedge or boundary marker Where a subtle, flowering division is needed between areas of the garden, Tara™ can be planted at hedge spacing to form a low, informal line. Regular repeat flowering and steady colour retention keep the hedge visually effective over a long season, while standard winter pruning is enough to maintain height and shape without specialist techniques – casual-gardeners

Styling ideas

  • Cottage-border ribbon – Run a low row of Tara™ in front of taller perennials like foxgloves and hardy geraniums, using its compact habit and repeat colour as a warm ribbon at eye level – for cottage-style enthusiasts.
  • Evergreen frame – Combine Tara™ with small-leaved cherry laurel or compact ceanothus to create a structured green backdrop, letting the orange-red clusters pop as seasonal highlights – for structure-focused planners.
  • Patio focal pot – Plant a single Tara™ in a 40–50 litre clay pot with trailing thyme or ivy at the rim to soften edges, using its modest size for a neat, long-lived patio centrepiece – for balcony and terrace users.
  • Colour-block bed – Mass 5–9 plants in a rectangular bed for a modern colour block, allowing the uniform height and dense foliage to mimic a low flowering cushion – for low-design, high-impact seekers.
  • Family-path edging – Line a main garden path with Tara™ at regular intervals, interplanting spring bulbs between shrubs so the roses take over as the bulbs fade, keeping the route attractive all season – for practical family gardens.

Technical cultivar profile
ParameterData
Name and registration Modern shrub rose, landscape-bed type; registered as BOZreka024, marketed as Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024, part of the Reka® collection, exhibition category shrub rose.
Origin and breeding Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga, PhenoGeno Roses, Serbia; parentage undisclosed. Registered in 2023 and introduced after 2023 through PhenoGeno Roses as an urban and landscape shrub.
Growth and structural characteristics Compact, rounded shrub 35–55 cm high and wide, with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness. Suitable for close planting in beds, low hedging and structured small-garden layouts.
Flower morphology Large, double, pompon to ball-shaped blooms in clusters, typically 26–39 petals. Repeat-flowering with a strong second flush, providing a long seasonal display on short, well-branched shoots.
Colour data and phenology Vibrant orange-red flowers with slight red dominance, good colour retention and gradual fading to pinkish-orange pastels. Buds deep orange-red; full bloom shows lighter rims and centres over time.
Fragrance and aroma Subtle, very weak rosy scent, primarily grown for colour and habit rather than perfume. Best suited where visual impact and structural effect are more important than strong fragrance in the planting.
Hip characteristics Rose hips form only occasionally due to double blooms; small, spherical, orange-red hips around 6–10 mm, adding limited but attractive late-season interest when present on established plants.
Resistance and winter hardiness Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b). Disease tolerance is low, with marked susceptibility to black spot, mildew and rust; consistent protective care is necessary.
Horticultural recommendations Best in sunny, well-drained beds or large containers. Requires regular plant protection and monitoring. Recommended spacing 25–50 cm depending on use; densities 10–11 plants/m² for mass or hedge planting.

Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 offers compact structure, long-season colour and reliable small-garden impact in an own-root form that matures steadily over time, making it a thoughtful choice when planning an easy-care family border.

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.
