BERILL – red-yellow hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL
Feel coastal refreshment on your veranda with BERILL, a red-yellow hybrid tea that thrives in a sheltered, sunny corner, even where brisk breezes test garden resilience and moderate salt spray regularly brushes the foliage. Large, showy blooms bring a beachfront glow to compact beds and containers, while the own-root habit offers reassuring long-term stability and recovery if winter or wind ever knock plants back. Medium maintenance and reliable remontant flowering keep seasonal upkeep simple, and a balanced, bushy structure makes it easy to weave into “girly” coastal schemes with lavender and shingle. Plant once, let roots focus in year one, top growth build in year two, and by year three enjoy full ornamental impact from a settled, long-lived investment.
Usage options

| Feature rose for coastal-style veranda containers |
BERILL’s bushy habit and XL, two-tone flowers give an instant focal point in large 40–50 litre pots, ideal for small coastal verandas where you want maximum colour from minimal floor space – especially suited to beginners. |
| Cut-flower source near the seating area |
The long-stemmed, solitary hybrid tea blooms with medium, fresh-fruity scent make BERILL a dependable source of home-grown cut flowers for the table, without needing a separate cutting garden – perfect for busy homeowners. |
| Compact specimen in a shingle or gravel bed |
Its moderate height, dense foliage and glowing red-yellow petals stand out against pale shingle, giving a “Cornish cove” feel while remaining easy to reach for light pruning, deadheading and occasional plant protection – reassuring for hobby gardeners. |
| Small mixed border with perennials |
Medium growth and balanced structure mean BERILL slots neatly among low grasses, lavender or sea kale without overwhelming them, so you can build layers of colour and texture in a typical family garden – ideal for coastal-style lovers. |
| Own-root planting for long-lived garden structure |
As an own-root rose, BERILL can regenerate from its base if stems are damaged, maintaining its colour and shape over many seasons and reducing replacement costs, which suits long-term planning for quality-conscious owners. |
| Remontant rose for extended flowering season |
The remontant habit with abundant second flowering stretches the display through summer into early autumn, keeping borders lively when other shrubs pause, with only modest feeding and watering needed – attractive to time-poor gardeners. |
| Sheltered coastal bed with reliable structure |
Planted in a sunny, wind-buffered spot with reasonable drainage, BERILL forms a dense, mid-height bush that stands up to breezy weather and regular salt-laden air along the coast, anchoring the layout for seaside homeowners. |
| Low-complexity focal point for new gardeners |
With medium maintenance needs, clear spacing guidelines and a straightforward year-on-year development, BERILL is easy to place and look after, rewarding simple care with showy blooms and tidy form – encouraging for first-time gardeners. |

Large, solitary, fully double flowers with approximately 26–39 petals, spherical to pompom shaped on hybrid tea stems, repeat-flowering reliably with a notable second flush in suitable conditions. |
