Magia Nera™ hybrid tea rose – COMsor
Velvety petals in a deep, almost blackish dark red make Magia Nera™ an atmospheric choice for classic front gardens and intimate seating areas, especially where you want rich colour that remains stable in sun and over the season. This bushy, well-branched hybrid tea gives long, straight stems with high-centred blooms for cutting, yet stays compact enough for small beds and near-the-door planting. Its reliably disease-resistant foliage stays dark green and glossy, supporting low-input care even in humid summers and changeable coastal weather where strong stems cope well with rain and wind. The strong, classical rose fragrance and moderate appeal to pollinators make it equally at home in a refined cottage mix or a smart, pared-back scheme. As an own-root plant, it forms a durable, balanced bush that regenerates well after pruning and supports an especially long garden life. You can expect roots to settle in the first year, shoots and structure to build in the second, and full ornamental value by the third season, making it a dependable, long-term feature with minimal effort.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal point
The exceptionally dark, velvety flowers draw the eye from the pavement and create a refined, almost formal accent beside a front door or along a short path. Its compact, bushy habit sits neatly in small spaces and stays in proportion to low hedges or paving, giving a bold look without dominating the plot over time – ideal for style-conscious beginners.
Family seating and entertaining areas
The strong classical rose scent makes Magia Nera™ particularly rewarding near benches, patios or evening seating where you pass close by. A few plants placed where summer air circulates will perfume the space without needing large beds. This suits busy households who want a sensory highlight around outdoor dining with limited effort from the gardener.
Cutting corner or cut-flower border
Long, straight stems with high-centred, exhibition-type flowers allow you to cut bouquets that look like florist roses, while the plant remains compact enough for a modest back-garden border. Regular cutting encourages new buds, so a tiny “cutting corner” can keep vases filled from summer into autumn, appealing to home decorators and hobby florists alike.
Low-maintenance family rose bed
Very good resistance to common rose diseases lets Magia Nera™ hold glossy foliage with few treatments, reducing the need for sprays and complex care routines. In a small family garden this helps keep the planting looking fresh through school holidays and busy work periods, supporting gardeners who prefer simple watering and an annual prune rather than constant interventions.
Small mixed border with perennials
The dark, colourfast blooms contrast beautifully with lighter cottage plants such as catmint or airy scabious, and the rose’s bushy structure gives a reliable framework that returns each year. Own-root growth means the plant adapts to local soil and care, offering a stable backbone around which seasonal perennials can change – useful for creative but time-pressed home improvers.
Exposed or breezier town plots
Strong stems and a compact, well-branched form help the flowers stand up to typical British breezes in front gardens and side plots, keeping the display tidy rather than wind-battered. With regular moisture and a mulched root zone, the plant copes reliably with variable weather and showery spells, reassuring owners of more open or street-facing gardens.
Specimen in large containers
In a 40–50 litre or larger pot, Magia Nera™ becomes a striking specimen for hard landscaping, balconies or paved front drives, with the dark blooms reading clearly against brick and stone. Own-root growth supports long-term container use, provided watering and feeding are consistent, which suits urban gardeners looking for a permanent, upgrade-quality feature outside windows or entrances.
Wildlife-aware but ornamental spaces
Semi-double flowers and modest hips offer some value to visiting insects and birds, while the variety still prioritises neat, classical blooms for human enjoyment. This balance works well where you want a smart, ornamental rose bed that nods towards wildlife without adopting a deliberately wild look, making it attractive to design-minded householders.
Styling ideas
Evening-entrance – Plant two to three roses by the front path with soft groundcover such as catmint to frame a doorway in deep scent and colour – for homeowners wanting classic kerb appeal.
Patio-duo – Use a pair in large matching containers on a terrace with pale gravel or stone to highlight the dark blooms – for urban gardeners seeking a simple, dramatic accent.
Cottage-ribbon – Thread a short row through a mixed cottage border with scabious and airy annuals for a romantic, old-world feel – for those who enjoy traditional, flower-rich schemes.
Cutting-strip – Line a narrow bed along a fence so long stems can be cut regularly for vases while the dark foliage screens boundaries – for home florists and decorators.
Calm-corner – Combine with silver foliage and low grasses near a bench to create a quiet, fragrant retreat of restrained colours – for busy people seeking a low-effort relaxation spot.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as COMsor, marketed as Magia Nera™ Hybrid tea rose COMsor; also exhibited under the name Norita in show and cut-flower contexts.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Maurice Combe in France from ‘Charles Mallerin’ × unknown seedling, introduced and distributed from 1966 by several European, American and Australian nurseries.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy hybrid tea 80–110 cm high, 50–70 cm wide, sparsely thorned with dense, dark green glossy foliage; spent blooms may need deadheading as self-cleaning is generally weak.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, 13–25 petalled, large high-centred, pointed buds carried mostly singly on stems; remontant with a generous second flush suitable for both garden display and cutting.
Colour data and phenology
Deep velvety dark red with blackish tones; newly opened blooms almost black outside, colourfast with minimal fading, ageing towards dark burgundy-purple while retaining a rich overall effect.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, clearly noticeable perfume of traditional rose character, best appreciated near paths, seating or in cut stems indoors, adding olfactory interest to its already dramatic flower colour.
Hip characteristics
Produces moderately abundant, small spherical orange-red hips around 10–14 mm across, adding a quiet seasonal accent in late season without overwhelming the overall appearance of the plant.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Good resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy approximately to −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) when planted in suitable, well-prepared garden soil.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with regular watering in hot, dry spells; avoid extreme heat stress to prevent petal scorch, and deadhead spent flowers to sustain repeat blooming and a refined garden appearance.
Magia Nera™ Hybrid tea rose COMsor offers velvety dark flowers, strong fragrance and reliable disease resistance on a long-lived own-root plant, making it a thoughtful choice if you would like a refined yet undemanding garden feature.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
MAGIA NERA™ – dark red hybrid tea rose - Combe
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Meaning of Cultivar Name:
The Italian expression "Magia Nera" means "Black Magic", and the name refers to the extremely dark, almost black-maroon petals.
Pollinator Attraction:
Semi-double (13–25 petal) flowers moderately attract pollinators, as the semi-double form and partially obscured stamens reduce nectar and pollen accessibility and therefore lessen pollinator appeal.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
According to the descriptions it tolerates heat, but in very hot conditions the petals may scorch; during prolonged dry periods it requires watering.

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.
