Striped petals in vivid cherry-red and cream-white give BEST IMPRESSION® instant impact, creating a refined focal point even in smaller beds. Its upright, bushy habit stays naturally tidy, helping you keep front gardens and paths looking ordered with minimal effort. Medium-sized, high-centred blooms repeat generously, offering reliable colour through the season, while a sweet, fruity fragrance adds an elegant note near doors, seating areas or windows. As an own-root rose it settles securely, building a strong framework for a long garden life with dependable regrowth, even where wetter spells mean you appreciate planting that copes well with regular rainfall.

Reasoning
Front garden focal point by the path or entrance
The striking red-and-white striping gives immediate visual focus without needing complex planting around it. Its upright, bushy habit forms a compact, eye-level display that stays neat, ideal beside paths, small gates or a front door for visually oriented beginners.
Small specimen in a mixed cottage-style border
The medium height and tidy structure fit comfortably among perennials and grasses, adding structure without dominating. Cherry-red blooms with cream-white stripes combine beautifully with soft pastels, making it easy to echo classic cottage borders even in modest urban plots for design-conscious homeowners.
Flower bed groups of 3–5 plants in family gardens
Planted in small drifts at the recommended spacing, the uniform bushy shape creates a simple, orderly bed that is easy to weed and maintain. Repeating, medium-sized flowers ensure steady colour, so you can rely on long-season interest without complicated deadheading regimes for busy hobby gardeners.
Cutting corner for home bouquets
High-centred, exhibition-style blooms on straight stems are ideal for vases, allowing you to cut a few flowers without spoiling the shrub’s look. The sweet, fruity fragrance adds value indoors, helping you get more from a small planting area for those who enjoy arranging their own garden flowers.
Roses near seating areas, terraces or patios
The medium-height bushes sit comfortably near benches or patios without feeling overbearing, and the repeated flushes of colourful blooms create a pleasant backdrop. The noticeable fragrance is best appreciated at close quarters, making it rewarding where you regularly sit for relaxation-focused garden users.
Feature rose in a large container (40–50 litres+)
Its upright, compact growth makes it suitable as a stand-alone feature in a generous container, provided watering and feeding are regular. The own-root form develops steadily, giving a long-lived potted display that can be repositioned as needed for flexible, low-complexity container gardeners.
Stable, long-term planting around the house
As an own-root shrub it builds its framework in place, giving consistent shape and reliable regrowth year after year. This supports a “plant once, enjoy for years” approach where you want permanent, tidy structure around drives, paths and façades for long-term planners.
Beds where simple winter pruning is preferred
The clear, upright framework and medium height make pruning straightforward, whether you prefer lighter trimming or a harder annual cut. Own-root growth responds well to renewal pruning, helping the shrub refresh itself and maintain vigour with only basic seasonal work for confidence-seeking beginners.
Styling ideas
Entrance focus – Place a single plant by the front path or gate, underplanted with low silver foliage such as Artemisia to frame the striped blooms – ideal for homeowners wanting instant kerb appeal.
Cottage trio – Plant three in a loose triangle among soft pinks and whites, adding Liatris spicata ‘Kobold’ for vertical spikes – for lovers of romantic cottage borders.
Patio statement – Grow one plant in a 50–60 litre container with fine-textured grasses, letting the marbled flowers take centre stage – suited to small-terrace and balcony gardeners.
Mixed matrix – Combine with airy Panicum virgatum ‘Sangria’ and pale perennials to highlight the red-and-white pattern in a modern, low-fuss bed – appealing to design-led urban gardeners.
Cutting corner – Dedicate a sunny spot to 3–5 plants in a simple grid for a steady supply of scented, exhibition-style stems – perfect for beginners who enjoy arranging home-cut flowers.
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose; registered as TAN04247 and marketed as Best Impression® hybrid tea rose TAN04247, a premium silver-rated cultivar for garden and cutting use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers for Rosen Tantau, Germany; bred 2004, introduced and registered in 2012, representing modern hybrid tea breeding for colour effect and cutting quality.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 90–120 cm high and 45–65 cm wide, with dense mid-green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a tidy, balanced garden bush.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, very double solitary blooms with 40+ petals; high-centred, pointed-bud, classic cut-flower style on strong stems, remontant with an abundant second flush in season.
Colour data and phenology
Vibrant cherry-red base with cream-white stripes and spots; each bloom uniquely marbled, shades softening to pastel pink as they age, maintaining decorative interest from bud to fall.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength scent combining sweet and fruity notes; best experienced near paths, seating or cut indoors, adding sensory value without being overpowering in small gardens.
Hip characteristics
Rose hips form only sparsely due to very double flowers; if present, small ovoid orange-red hips about 8–13 mm across contribute modest late-season ornamental interest.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7; USDA 6b; Swedish Zon 3); disease resistance is moderate, so occasional protection may be advisable in humid, high-pressure seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with 40–85 cm spacing, depending on use; average maintenance, including deadheading and basic pruning, plus regular feeding and watering for reliable repeat flowering.
BEST IMPRESSION® offers eye-catching striped blooms, a tidy upright habit and rewarding, fragrant cutting stems on a resilient own-root plant that matures into a long-lived feature, making it a thoughtful choice for your next garden rose.

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.
