Bentheimer Gold ® RigoRosen® KORbentgol – orange floribunda bed rose
Cottage style planting meets easy-care floribunda charm in Bentheimer Gold®, a compact, bushy rose that settles naturally into the rhythm of a busy family garden. Its medium-height, upright habit and dense, dark green foliage create a neat, low hedge or well-defined front border without elaborate design work. Clusters of warm orange, cupped, very double flowers bring a soft, golden-apricot colour shift as they open, echoing classic British front gardens even in small urban plots. As an own-root plant it establishes securely, building a long-lived, resilient structure that can regenerate from the base if cut back hard, giving reliable performance over many years. With simple planting in well-drained soil to cope calmly with wetter, windier coastal conditions, you can look forward to its remontant flowering carrying the display from summer into autumn. Think of its development as roots in the first year, stronger shoots in the second, and full ornamental impact by the third, making it an ideal, confidence-building choice for relaxed yet refined garden borders.

Reasoning
Front garden feature bed near the entrance
The compact, bushy form and moderate height create a tidy, welcoming frontage that does not overpower a small space or path. Continuous clusters of orange-apricot blooms give a clear focal point from the pavement, suiting homeowners who want a clean, colourful first impression without complex design – ideal for the aesthetic-focused beginner.
Low flowering hedge along drives or garden boundaries
Regular spacing at the recommended hedge distance forms a coherent, upright line with dense foliage at the base, useful where you want soft separation rather than a tall screen. The uniform growth makes it straightforward to trim lightly or rejuvenate when needed, giving a manageable long-term structure for the time-pressed gardener.
Small mixed cottage-style border
The warm orange flowers, fading gently to peach-yellow, blend beautifully with classic perennials and grasses, adding romantic colour without demanding a large planting area. The floribunda flowering habit keeps colour circulating among companion plants, supporting those creating an informal cottage effect in compact plots – perfect for style-conscious owners.
Urban around-the-house bed by walls and terraces
Its medium stature sits comfortably below windowsills and along paths, softening hard surfaces while remaining easy to reach for deadheading and basic care. In an own-root form, the shrub rebuilds steadily after pruning or occasional neglect, giving a reassuring margin for error to busy city-dwellers – suitable for the urban home gardener.
Small group planting in family back gardens
Planting 3–5 shrubs together at the suggested spacing creates a rounded, colourful block that looks full relatively quickly, yet remains simple to maintain as one unit. The remontant, cluster-flowering nature ensures a good second flush, rewarding light, regular watering and feeding by hobbyists – encouraging for casual family gardeners.
Decorative focal point near seating areas and patios
The medium-strength, sweet-fruity scent is best appreciated close up, making it ideal beside benches or patios where you sit and enjoy the garden. The moderate flower size and repeated waves of bloom offer an elegant but not overpowering presence for those who value fragrance and atmosphere – attractive to sensory-focused beginners.
Containers and large planters on terraces
In a well-drained container of at least 40–50 litres, its compact, upright habit and dense leaf cover give a well-proportioned, long-lived potted rose. Own-root growth supports steady renewal from the base after pruning, so one planting can serve for many seasons with modest care, suiting balcony and patio-focused owners.
Exposed beds in cooler, wetter parts of the UK
While it needs good protection from fungal disease through regular spraying, its structural hardiness to around -21 °C and robust, bushy build help it stand up to blustery, damp weather typical of many British sites, especially where good drainage limits waterlogging in windy, rain-prone gardens – useful for climate-aware gardeners.
Styling ideas
Doorstep Welcome – Line a short front path with a low edging of Bentheimer Gold® underplanted with dwarf lavender for scent and a neat, classic entrance – ideal for busy homeowners wanting instant kerb appeal.
Cottage Patch – Combine in a small bed with foxgloves, lady’s mantle and catmint so the orange clusters rise from a frothy pastel mix – perfect for lovers of traditional cottage gardens in compact spaces.
Sunset Border – Use 3–5 plants mid-border with bronze grasses and dusky salvias, letting the peach-orange tones echo evening light – suited to design-aware gardeners seeking a warm, modern palette.
Patio Perfume – Grow in a 50‑litre terracotta pot near a seating corner, underplanting with trailing thyme to highlight the sweet, fruity fragrance at close quarters – great for flat-dwellers and terrace users.
Family-Friendly Ribbon – Create a low, soft boundary along a play lawn, mixing Bentheimer Gold® with Japanese ornamental grass for movement and colour – ideal for families wanting structure without harsh barriers.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bed rose, collection RigoRosen®. Registered as KORbentgol, traded as Bentheimer Gold ® RigoRosen® KORbentgol, ARS exhibition name Bentheimer Gold®.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes (Germany), seedling of an unknown Kordes line crossed with ‘Gebrüder Grimm’. Introduced and registered in 2015; breeding work completed in 2001.
Awards and recognition
ADR General German Rose Trials 2015. Gold Medal La Tacita 2016, Bronze Medal Baden-Baden 2016, Certificate of Merit Bagatelle (Paris) 2017, highlighting proven garden performance.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub, around 55–80 cm high with 60–85 cm spread. Dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny stems, forming compact, well-filled bedding or low hedge plantings.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, very double, cupped blooms held in clusters. Over 40 petals per flower. Remontant flowering with a notably abundant second flush, giving a long decorative period when regularly deadheaded.
Colour data and phenology
Vibrant orange with peach undertone, ARS ob; RHS 24B, 23A. Buds open bright orange, then soften through warm yellowish-peach to gentle apricot-yellow, especially in strong sun, retaining richer colour in cooler weather.
Fragrance and aroma
Sweet, fruity scent of medium strength, clearly noticeable at close range. Best appreciated near paths, terraces or seating. Like many very double roses, bred primarily for ornamental rather than pollinator value.
Hip characteristics
Very double flowers limit fertilisation, so hips are scarce and small. Occasional round hips reach only 0–5 mm, and fruit display is minimal, leaving the visual emphasis on foliage and bloom colour.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to about -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b). Disease resistance low; highly sensitive to powdery mildew and black spot, so consistent fungicidal protection and good air circulation are essential.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers sunny sites with well-drained soil. Needs regular feeding, watering in dry spells and a plant protection programme. Space at 40–75 cm depending on use, 4.0–4.6 plants/m² for mass bedding or structured hedging.
Bentheimer Gold ® RigoRosen® KORbentgol offers compact, bushy structure, richly coloured, remontant flowers and long-lived own-root reliability, making it a thoughtful choice for gardeners planning a durable, characterful bed or border.
Meaning of Cultivar Name:
The name "Bentheimer Gold" refers to the characteristic golden‑brown sandstone of the Grafschaft Bentheim region and pays tribute to the work of Bentheim’s quarrymen.
Competition and Show Awards:
La Tacita International Rose Competition – Gold Medal (groundcover category, 2016); Baden‑Baden International Rose Competition – Bronze Medal (2016); Bagatelle (Paris) – Certificate of Merit (2017)
Closed Bud:
Outside a medium-intense orange, inside a slightly lighter peach-coloured shade.
Newly Opened Flower:
The outer petals are bright orange, while the inner surfaces are a warm yellowish-peach.
Full Bloom:
The petals are a uniform warm orange with a slightly golden tone in the centre.
Before Fading:
The colour fades, softening to a gentle peach yellow.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the bright orange gradually fades to a soft apricot-yellow; this is more pronounced in strong sunlight, while in cooler weather the colour is better retained.
Pollinator Attraction:
Because of the flower structure — whether simple, semi‑double or double — and reduced accessibility of the stamens, this variety is likely to be of low attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Like heavily double‑flowered varieties, mainly ornamental rather than specifically pollinator‑friendly
Maintenance Requirement:
Maintenance requirement high; low disease resistance—particularly susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot—so regular plant protection is necessary.

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.
