BEST IMPRESSION® – red-and-white tea-hybrid rose - Evers
With its strikingly striped blooms and medium, bushy habit, BEST IMPRESSION® brings a sense of balance to compact family gardens, thriving even where soil stays heavy after rain and occasional humidity increases fungal pressure. This hybrid tea rose offers a reliable, remontant display, so you enjoy repeated flowering from early summer into autumn, while the own-root form supports long-term regeneration and stable ornamental value. In a small London front garden or balcony pot, its medium maintenance needs remain manageable, especially when paired with free-draining planting mixes for improved drainage and sustainable rainwater use. Over time, the plant settles in gently – first consolidating roots, then building confident new shoots, before reaching full visual impact as a mature feature in the third season.
Freshly opened Best Impression® bloom with cherry-red petals and creamy-white stripes.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front-garden specimen in a small urban border
The upright, bushy habit and distinctive striped flowers create a clear focal point without overpowering a narrow terraced-house plot, giving long-season visual interest with only moderate care for the city-based beginner
Rainwater-aware planting in heavier clay soils
In UK gardens where water lingers after showers, a raised or amended bed with grit and compost helps roots establish securely, maintaining steady growth and repeat flowering despite periodic wet spells for the sustainability-minded gardener
Cut-flower row for home arrangements
The high-centred, exhibition-style blooms on sturdy stems are ideal for cutting, bringing detailed red-and-white marbling indoors repeatedly through the season with simple deadheading for the home flower enthusiast
Feature rose in a large patio container (40–50 litres+)
In a generously sized, well-drained pot, the compact spread and upright structure stay in scale with balconies or paved front gardens, while own-root growth supports long-lived, replaceable shoots for the busy balcony owner
Mixed border with ornamental grasses and perennials
The strong colouring stands out among airy grasses and soft perennials, while remontant flowering supplies repeated highlights between foliage waves, keeping structure and colour balanced for the design-conscious homeowner
Moderate-maintenance rose bed with seasonal protection
Where fungal pressure is regular, a simple routine of good spacing, airflow, and occasional targeted treatments keeps moderate disease levels in check without intensive regimes for the practical hobby gardener
Long-term own-root planting for family gardens
Because the variety is grown on its own roots, it can regenerate from the base after pruning or damage, preserving flower quality and shape over many years with straightforward renewal pruning for the long-view garden planner
Structured hedge or row along a path
Regular spacing creates a tidy, upright line of blooms, guiding movement through the garden while repeated flowering and easy shaping provide dependable structure beside everyday family routes for the low-fuss path-border owner
Styling ideas
Striped-Showcase – Plant BEST IMPRESSION® as a single specimen in a small front bed with pale gravel mulch to reflect light onto the marbled petals – ideal for urban homeowners wanting maximum effect from minimal space
Grassy-Companion – Combine with Panicum virgatum ‘Sangria’ and other upright grasses so the rose’s bold flowers float against soft, moving foliage – suited to gardeners seeking a modern, low-clutter aesthetic
Pastel-Transition – Let the blooms fade towards pink beside soft mauve nepeta or lavender, creating a gentle colour shift from vivid to pastel through the season – perfect for those who like evolving, romantic borders
Cutting-Corner – Group several plants at 50 cm spacing to form a mini cutting patch, underplanting with silver Artemisia for foliage contrast – attractive to home florists wanting reliable stems without a large plot
Pot-Promenade – Place one rose in a 50-litre terracotta container flanked by low herbs such as sage for fragrance and texture – appealing for balcony and patio users needing structure without complex maintenance
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
BEST IMPRESSION® is a hybrid tea rose, registered as TAN04247, marketed as a red-and-white, striped-flower tea-hybrid rose for garden and cutting use in the eleanorROSE® ORIGINAL 2-litre own-root range.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers at Rosen Tantau, Germany, from unknown parentage; breeding completed in 2004 with introduction and registration in 2012 through Rosen Tantau for international ornamental use.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright habit reaching about 90–120 cm high and 45–65 cm wide with dense, mid‑green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a compact yet substantial shrub for beds and containers.
Flower morphology
Very double, high-centred hybrid tea blooms with 40+ petals, medium-sized (approx. 4–7 cm), mainly solitary on stems, showing classic pointed buds and strong form suitable for cutting and exhibition-style displays.
Colour data and phenology
Vibrant cherry-red base with cream-white stripes and spots (RHS 53A, 155C); each bloom shows a unique pattern that gradually softens to pastel pink marbling as the flower matures and petals approach drop.
Fragrance and aroma
Noticeable, medium-strength fragrance with a sweet, fruity character; scent is appreciable at close range on the plant and in the vase, enhancing its value both as a garden feature and as a cut flower indoors.
Hip characteristics
Hip set is generally low due to the very double flowers; if present, expect small, ovoid, orange-red hips around 8–13 mm in diameter, offering modest late-season ornamental interest in some seasons.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to about -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) with moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, benefiting from good airflow and regular hygiene in humid conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil; plant 40–85 cm apart depending on use, allow 4–4.6 plants/m² in groups, and maintain with moderate feeding, pruning and occasional plant protection where needed.
BEST IMPRESSION® offers long-season flowering, striking striped blooms and durable own-root growth for dependable structure and easy renewal in compact gardens, making it a thoughtful choice for those planning a lasting, characterful 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.
