Mark a special anniversary or simply enjoy enduring garden romance with RUBY WEDDING™, a classic ruby-red hybrid tea rose bred in Britain for poised, upright stems and exhibition-style, high-centred blooms. This pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL 2-litre own-root plant settles reliably even in typical UK soils where good drainage is needed after heavy rain, gradually forming a bushy, well-balanced shape that suits neat front gardens and elegant cottage-inspired borders. Large, velvety flowers repeat through the season, offering dependable cutting-quality flowers with a mild, traditional fragrance, while own-root vigour supports long-term structure and regeneration as it matures naturally over its first three years.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal point
The upright, bushy habit and large, high-centred blooms create an immediate sense of occasion by the front door or garden path, giving a smart, traditional look with minimal design effort – ideal for the aesthetics-focused beginner.
Small mixed border in a family garden
RUBY WEDDING™ integrates well among perennials and low shrubs, its dark foliage and rich ruby flowers bringing structure without dominating, and the own-root form building a long-lived, stable bush for the family garden-focused homeowner.
Cutting corner for home bouquets
Long, straight stems and solitary, high-centred flowers mirror classic florist roses, so even one or two bushes can supply vases of elegant ruby blooms over summer for the style-conscious urbanite.
Commemorative or anniversary planting
The ruby-red colour and name make it a natural choice for marking a 40th wedding anniversary or other milestones, providing a lasting, living memento that matures gracefully for the sentiment-driven gardener.
Feature rose in a container (large pot)
Planted in a 40–50 litre container with quality compost and regular watering, its upright habit and repeat flowering give a strong vertical accent on patios or balconies, suiting space-limited residents.
Neat, low-maintenance rose bed
Medium maintenance and good black spot resistance mean that, with basic feeding and deadheading, you can keep a tidy, flowering bed without complex treatments, which builds confidence for the time-pressed beginner.
Classic cottage-style combination plantings
Ruby-red, velvety blooms pair beautifully with airy whites like Gypsophila and tidy dwarf box edging, giving that timeless cottage feel with straightforward care for tradition-loving gardeners.
Exposed but well-drained garden sites
Once established in a raised or well-drained bed, the bushy structure and own-root resilience cope reliably with wet, breezy UK weather where good drainage after rain and wind is especially important for cautious owners.
Styling ideas
Anniversary feature – Plant a single RUBY WEDDING™ near a bench or terrace as a living celebration rose, underplanted with low white perennials to highlight its meaning – for romantically minded couples and families.
Cottage trio – Group 3 bushes with Gypsophila and dwarf box to frame a path, giving a soft, clouded base under upright ruby blooms – for fans of classic British cottage gardens.
Patio statement – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot with trailing summer annuals to soften the rim, creating a movable focal point – for balcony and courtyard gardeners.
Front-border rhythm – Repeat plant along a front fence at regular intervals to create a ruby-red rhythm that ties the frontage together – for homeowners wanting easy kerb appeal.
Cutting strip – Line a sunny side path with evenly spaced plants to provide steady supplies of straight-stemmed blooms for the vase – for home florists and bouquet enthusiasts.
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
Ruby Wedding™ is a hybrid tea rose marketed as a ruby-red exhibition-type garden and cut-flower rose; current trade and exhibition name Ruby Wedding, hybrid tea rose, Gregory.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Charles Walter Gregory (C. Gregory & Son Ltd.) in the United Kingdom, 1979, from ‘Mayflower’ crossed with an unknown seedling; introduced and first distributed in 1979.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright, bushy shrub reaching about 65–95 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread, with medium-density dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a compact, balanced garden plant.
Flower morphology
Large, double, high-centred hybrid tea blooms with 26–30 petals, mainly borne singly on stems, giving a classic pointed-bud cut-rose appearance with abundant remontant second flushes.
Colour data and phenology
Uniform velvety ruby-red flowers, ARS code DR, RHS 53A outer and 60A inner; colour holds very well, only slightly lightening in strong sun, with deeper tones in cooler conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, pleasant rosy fragrance of restrained strength, detectable at close range without being overpowering; suitable for front gardens and seating areas where subtle scent is preferred.
Hip characteristics
Produces small to moderate numbers of ornamental spherical orange-red hips, around 10–14 mm diameter, contributing a discrete seasonal interest in late summer and autumn.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to about −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b), with good black spot resistance and moderate tolerance to powdery mildew, rust, heat and drought when adequately watered.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil; suit beds, borders, containers and standards, planted 50–90 cm apart depending on use, with occasional deadheading and pest control as needed.
RUBY WEDDING™ offers velvety ruby-red blooms, reliable cutting-quality flowers and a compact, upright habit on a durable own-root plant; consider it if you want an easy yet enduring feature in your garden.
Pollinator Attraction:
The cultivar's double (full) blooms moderately attract pollinators, as the double flower form often reduces pollen accessibility compared with simple or semi‑double blooms.

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.
