ROYAL PIANO® – red hybrid tea rose – Evers
Elegant and richly petalled, ROYAL PIANO® brings a classic rosette look to smaller British gardens, combining compact upright growth with large, very full blooms in a deep raspberry-red colour. Its dense, glossy foliage supports a neat, well-shaped bush that stays orderly in beds and borders, ideal where you want strong visual impact without complicated maintenance. As an own-root rose it settles, matures and regenerates steadily over the years for dependable longevity, suiting family plots that face cool winds and need planting that copes with exposed, breezy conditions. Expect a reassuring development rhythm: first strong roots, then expanding shoots, and by the third year a full, impressive display.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden feature rose
The upright, compact habit and large rosette blooms make ROYAL PIANO® an excellent single accent near the front door or along a path, giving clear structure without dominating a small plot; well suited to style-conscious beginners.
Formal flower bed in small family gardens
Planted in small groups at the recommended spacing, its uniform height and dense foliage create a tidy, repeated pattern, with remontant flowering providing ongoing colour through the season, ideal for homeowners who prefer orderly designs.
Mixed cottage-style border
The rich raspberry-red flowers blend beautifully with perennials such as daylilies and bellflowers, while the bushy form fills mid-border gaps, giving a traditional cottage feel without demanding advanced rose-growing skills for busy garden owners.
Cutting patch for home arrangements
Clustered stems with 1–5 very full flowers offer plenty of material for vases, and the strong stems hold their shape well, allowing you to cut showy blooms for the house while the plant continues to flower reliably for hobby florists at home.
Low, linear hedge or boundary marker
Regularly spaced plants form a visually coherent low hedge, with dark green glossy foliage and repeated red blooms giving a refined edge to drives or paths, suiting those who want structured boundaries in compact suburban plots.
Own-root long-term rose planting
As an own-root shrub it builds its framework gradually in its final position, offering long-lived structure and easier recovery from winter damage or pruning errors, reassuring gardeners who want investment planting that will endure for years.
Raised beds in exposed or challenging spots
Reliable medium vigour and balanced bushiness help it establish firmly in raised beds where improved drainage and root space support steady growth even in breezier, more open sites, reassuring families gardening in wind-prone locations.
Large decorative container on patio or terrace
Its compact, upright form and plentiful, large blooms make it suitable for a substantial container of at least 40–50 litres, where regular watering can be managed easily and the plant gives strong seasonal impact for urban balcony and patio gardeners.
Styling ideas
Doorway focus – Position a single ROYAL PIANO® by the front step with low evergreen edging for a smart welcome – ideal for homeowners wanting simple, classical structure.
Cottage duet – Combine with Campanula persicifolia and soft grasses in a narrow border for a relaxed cottage feel – for those who like romantic, informal planting.
Crimson ribbon – Plant a short row along a drive or path, underplanting with pale groundcovers to emphasise the red blooms – suited to families seeking neat but striking edging.
Patio showpiece – Grow one plant in a 50‑litre terracotta pot with trailing seasonal annuals around the rim – perfect for balcony and terrace gardeners wanting maximum colour in limited space.
Cutting corner – Group three plants in a sunny bed with complementary-toned perennials to provide a steady supply of stems for indoor vases – appealing to creative gardeners who enjoy arranging their own flowers.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose from the Piano® collection; registered as TAN09492, marketed as ROYAL PIANO® (also Piano® TAN09492) primarily for cut and garden use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Christian Evers at Rosen Tantau, Uetersen, Germany; introduced in 2014 via Rosen Tantau with parentage undisclosed, selected for elegant rosette blooms and garden performance.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, upright shrub reaching around 80–120 cm high and 50–70 cm wide, with dense, dark green glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a balanced, bushy framework over time.
Flower morphology
Large, very full rosette flowers with over 40 petals, borne singly or in clusters of 1–5 per stem; remontant with a strong second flush, providing repeat display across the main season.
Colour data and phenology
Rich raspberry-red blooms (RHS 53B–53C) with silky sheen; colour stable in cooler weather, softening slightly at petal edges in strong sun, from dark velvety buds through to uniform, deep-toned full flowers.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak, with only a faint classic rose note in close proximity, making it best chosen for visual impact rather than scent-focused plantings or fragrance-led collections.
Hip characteristics
Hip set is generally sparse due to very double blooms and regular deadheading; occasional small ellipsoid orange-red hips of about 8–12 mm may form late in the season.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to around −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7), handling typical UK winters; disease resistance moderate for black spot, mildew and rust, performing best with basic preventative care in humid periods.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny sites with well-drained soil; medium maintenance, appreciating deadheading and occasional protection; spacing 45–90 cm depending on use, with planting densities around 3.3–3.8 plants/m² in mass schemes.
ROYAL PIANO® offers compact structure, generous repeat flowering and long-lived own-root reliability, making it a thoughtful choice if you would like a refined, enduring red rose for your garden.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
ROYAL PIANO® – red tea-hybrid rose - Evers
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Strongly double, high‑centred flowers are poorly accessible to pollinators, since double forms (as opposed to simple or semi‑double) and concealed stamens markedly reduce pollinator attraction.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental variety
Hip Comment:
Rose‑hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double blooms and regular pruning; occasionally an ellipsoid orange‑red rose hip measuring 8–12 mm in diameter may form.

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.
