GRÄFIN DIANA® – burgundy-red hybrid tea rose – Kordes

Step outside after rain and let Gräfin Diana wrap your small Irish garden in velvet fragrance, its deep burgundy-red blooms glowing in the soft light of an overcast afternoon while it repeats generously despite our shorter summers and frequent showers, thriving as an own-root plant that quietly builds a lasting framework below ground so that roots strengthen first, then shoots thicken, and by the third season a full, mature display settles naturally into your everyday walk.



Usage options

Target area Reasoning
Front-of-house specimen in a Dublin terrace Gräfin Diana works beautifully as a single statement rose by the front door, where its upright habit and large, velvety blooms are easy to admire on the daily school run or commute, offering classic hybrid tea form without complex pruning for the occasional beginner.
Dedicated fragrance corner near seating With a very strong, garden-filling scent, this rose comes into its own beside a bench or small patio, where you actually pause to enjoy the spicy, fruity perfume on damp evenings, ideal for those who value sensory richness over having many different plants, especially the fragrance-lover.
Romantic “girly” Irish cottage-style bed The deep burgundy-red rosette flowers bring a luxurious accent into pastel cottage borders, pairing well with white sweet alyssum and soft pink perennials, creating a storybook feel for those who want a feminine but manageable look in a modest space, particularly the cottage-gardener.
Small flower-cutting patch As an exhibition-quality hybrid tea, Gräfin Diana produces long-stemmed, solitary blooms excellent for cutting, so even a tiny bed can yield vases of richly coloured, perfumed flowers for the kitchen table, suiting the home that likes fresh arrangements, the practical cut-flower user.
Own-root long-term feature in a family garden Being supplied on its own roots means that if stems are damaged by winter or play, the plant regenerates true to type from below ground, building a stable, long-lived shrub with reliable colour and form over the years for the forward-planning homeowner.
Container rose on a sheltered balcony or patio In urban settings, Gräfin Diana can be grown in a large 40–50 litre pot with good drainage, where watering and care are easy to manage and the luxurious colour can be enjoyed up close, an attractive option for space-limited city-dwellers.
Part-shaded side garden path This variety tolerates partial shade, so it suits side gardens that only receive a few hours of sun, still producing well-formed blooms and scent where other roses may struggle, which reassures those with less-than-ideal aspects, the cautious gardener.
Well-drained, tended bed in wetter, windy areas In more exposed Atlantic-influenced gardens, it performs best in a well-prepared, drained bed with regular care, rewarding attention with repeat flushes that enliven grey, wet spells, matching the needs of those ready to invest some time, the committed enthusiast.

Styling ideas

  • Cottage-velvet – Mix Gräfin Diana with pale pink geraniums and white foxgloves for a soft, romantic cottage palette – ideal for nostalgic gardeners wanting a “girly” yet grown-up look.
  • Evening-scent – Place near a favourite chair with lavender and thyme edging to trap fragrance on still evenings – perfect for those who unwind outdoors after work.
  • Burgundy-focus – Use a single plant against a light-coloured wall with simple green groundcover so the blooms become the focal point – suited to minimalists who like one standout feature.
  • Balcony-bouquet – Grow in a 40–50 litre container with trailing sweet alyssum for a perfumed, overflowing pot – great for city gardeners with only a balcony or small patio.
  • Classic-cutting – Plant a short row with white Liatris and Sedum spurium for sturdy stems and contrast in the cutting patch – for home florists who enjoy arranging their own roses.

Technical cultivar profile
Property Data
Name and registration Hybrid tea rose, Parfuma collection, registered as KORdiagraf, traded as Gräfin Diana® Parfuma® KORdiagraf; exhibition hybrid tea category with approved ARS name Gräfin Diana.
Origin and breeding Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes (Germany), from Chartreuse de Parme × (Esther Geldenhuys × unknown seedling); introduced and registered by W. Kordes’ Söhne in 2012.
Awards and recognition ADR award Germany 2014; Rose of the Year GRF 2017; Grand Prix de la Rose France 2018; major fragrance awards in The Hague, Adelaide and Hradec Králové between 2016 and 2018.
Growth and structural characteristics Upright, bushy, slightly columnar habit, 100–140 cm tall and 65–95 cm wide, dense glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny stems, moderately self-cleaning and suited to specimen or grouped planting.
Flower morphology Very double rosette blooms over 7–10 cm, usually solitary on stems, with more than 40 petals; well remontant with abundant second flowering, classic hybrid tea exhibition form for garden or vase.
Colour data and phenology Deep velvety burgundy-red with subtle black tones; RHS 60A outer, 53B inner; buds almost blackish; colour deepens in cool, softens slightly in heat; fades to ruby red without browning, holding well in bloom.
Fragrance and aroma Very strong, garden-filling perfume with complex fruity and spicy notes; ideal for fragrance-focused plantings and sensory gardens, and valued internationally for its intense scent profile.
Hip characteristics Due to very double flowers, hips form sparsely; when present they are small spherical orange-red hips around 6–10 mm, adding modest late-season interest without significant wildlife value.
Resistance and winter hardiness Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) but very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so in humid climates it needs regular protection and attentive care.
Horticultural recommendations Best in fertile, well-drained soil with regular feeding and watering; spacing 50–90 cm depending on use; suitable for partial shade, containers and cutting, but requires consistent disease management and deadheading.

GRÄFIN DIANA® offers sumptuous colour, powerful fragrance and elegant cutting blooms on a regenerating own-root shrub; an inspired choice if you are ready to give one special rose a permanent place.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
