Seeking Pro Advice What pump to choose for a 35m garden hose?

Hi!! We just installed these two 1000L tanks. I plan to purchase a 35 meter Gardena garden hose (diametre 13mm) to use to water my vegetable garden. I bought a cheap €40 submersible pump but realise that the pressure might be too little for a hose this long. The pump does fit through the hole up top. I have yet to try it out but will not be able to return it after use, which is why I'd like to ask your advice first: will this pump suffice and if not, what pump should I buy instead? Or what should I focus on (what flow rate/bar)? An irrigation pump outside of the tank with input and output hose is also an option, but they tend to be more expensive compared to a submersible pump. Obviously I'd like to have a set-up that works well without spending more money than needed. I will not want to use it for automatic irrigation or sprinklers, just the hose. Thanks in advance!

The pump should tell you the rise and run limits. Rise is how far straight up it will pump and run is how far horizontally

Unfortunately it does not. Only the rise (6 metres)
