DUNAV™ – pink bedding shrub rose - Tanjga
Imagine stepping outside after rain to a front garden that feels instantly balanced, where compact pink blooms hold their colour against grey skies and rainfall, and the dark green foliage stays clean and healthy with reassuring reliability. DUNAV™ has been bred for hard-working urban beds, coping gracefully with exposed sites and heavier soils while developing quietly into a long-lived, own-root shrub of real substance. In the first year it concentrates on roots, the second brings stronger shoots, and by the third it offers full ornamental impact with bushy, low-maintenance structure. Clusters of mid-pink, cup-shaped flowers repeat through the season, creating a calm, generous display that suits busy households who want sustainable beauty without complicated care.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden flowerbed in London terrace
The compact, bushy habit fills small beds neatly, giving mid-pink colour from early summer with little need for shaping. Dense foliage covers the ground, helping keep the space tidy for busy urban gardeners.
Low, informal hedge along a path
Planting at 35 cm forms a soft, continuous line that guides the eye without dominating narrow front paths. Repeating clusters of flowers add gentle structure while remaining easy to look after for family-home owners.
Rainwater-friendly clay or chalk border
Bred for robust landscape use, this shrub accepts typical British heavier or chalky soils once basic drainage is in place, supporting gardens that manage rainwater on site for environment-conscious gardeners.
Long-season focal point in a small mixed bed
Remontant flowering brings an abundant second flush, so colour returns reliably after the first wave of blooms. This sustained display anchors a small border through much of the season for colour-focused beginners.
Low-maintenance family play garden
Its strong disease resistance reduces the need for spraying or complex care, keeping leaves clean and dark green even in humid seasons. This supports relaxed, safe planting around play areas for young families.
Large container on balcony or paved front
In a 40–50 litre pot, its compact spread and dense foliage give a full look without outgrowing the space, ideal where soil is limited but a long-lived shrub is desired for space-conscious city dwellers.
Urban public-facing planting strip
Selected for very good urban tolerance, DUNAV™ copes well with reflected heat, wind and general stress, staying tidy and floriferous where more delicate roses struggle for low-input project planners.
Sustainable, own-root rose feature bed
Grown on its own roots, it builds a stable framework that regenerates well after pruning or weather damage, supporting long lifespan and consistent appearance with modest annual care for long-term gardeners.
Styling ideas
Pastel-Ribbon Border – Plant DUNAV™ in a soft line with lavender and nepeta to echo its mid-pink flowers and dark foliage, creating a calm, pollinator-supporting front strip – for terrace fronts seeking gentle elegance.
Urban-Courtyard Pot – Place a single plant in a 50 litre container with trailing thyme at the rim to soften edges, ideal for paved spaces – for balcony or patio owners wanting low-fuss structure.
Girly-Front Mix – Combine DUNAV™ with annual lobelia and airy grasses for a playful, pink-and-blue palette that stays neat beside steps – for households after a cheerful, easy-care welcome.
Compact-Hedge Walkway – Use close spacing to edge a narrow path, underplanting with creeping thyme between paving to handle footfall and runoff – for families designing a practical yet pretty approach.
Clay-Bed Refresh – In improved but heavy soil, partner DUNAV™ with sage and crocosmia for height contrast and resilient colour succession – for gardeners upgrading tired, difficult borders.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Shrub rose from the Reka® collection, registered as BOZreka021 and marketed as Dunav™ / Reka®; a pink bedding shrub type suited to flowerbeds, massed planting and front-garden use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga at Pheno Geno Roses, introduced from 2019 via Pheno Geno Roses b.v. and d.o.o. as a modern landscape shrub tailored to contemporary urban planting.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, bushy shrub reaching about 45–65 cm high and 40–60 cm wide, with moderately thorny shoots and dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage that forms a tidy, ground-covering mound.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double, cup-shaped flowers with roughly 26–39 petals, borne in clusters. The variety flowers repeatedly through the season with an abundant second flush on well-established plants.
Colour data and phenology
Mid-pink blooms (RHS 68B–68C) open fresh and vibrant, edges gently lightening with age to pastel pink before petal fall, providing a soft, consistent colour presence in borders and beds.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, understated scent that reads as a light background note rather than a dominant perfume, contributing to a calm planting mood while keeping focus on flower form and colour.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small, spherical hips, around 5–8 mm across, ripening to red and adding discreet seasonal interest late in the year without overwhelming the plant’s neat outline.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated hardy to around –21 to –18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b) and described as very healthy, with listed resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust for low-input care.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to flowerbeds, parks, mass plantings and urban spaces; plant 35–70 cm apart depending on hedge or specimen use, in the ground or 40–50 litre containers, with routine watering and light annual pruning.
DUNAV™ offers compact structure, reliable repeat flowering and strong disease resistance in a durable own-root form, making it a thoughtful choice for long-lived, low-effort urban and family gardens.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
DUNAV™ – pink bedding shrub rose - Tanjga
Product Type:
eleanorROSE® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the mid-pink hue moderately fades; at full bloom it lightens slightly at the edges and, before senescence, turns a pastel pink.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39 petals) flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent because the double form reduces access to the stamens, limiting pollen and nectar availability.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
According to the description it is very healthy and reliable; there is no separate data on its heat–drought tolerance.

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.
