AHRENSHOOPER MÜHLENROSE – light pink bedding floribunda rose - Márk
AHRENSHOOPER MÜHLENROSE offers a compact, bush-trained structure ideal for tray-rooted pharmaROSA® NEONATAL production, scaling reliably into 2–3 L containers for standard finished bedding-rose lines. As an own-root, semi-finished cutting, it develops into a dense, mid-green foliage canopy with moderately thorny shoots, supporting homogeneous batches and low replacement rates over long production cycles. Medium maintenance needs and moderate disease tolerance simplify plant protection planning in nursery networks serving public and municipal projects exposed to wind and cold, with reliable winter performance in harsher northern regions. Its remontant, cluster-flowering clusters provide abundant second flushes and stable, very good colour retention, which can be timed for peak retail windows, while the semi-double blooms give accessible stamens and a subtle fragrance that suit thematic and collection-style rose gardens. From a rooted cutting base, Year 1 focuses on root establishment, Year 2 brings structural shoot development, and by Year 3 the cultivar expresses full ornamental value for long-term projects.
