Adson von Melk™ bedding floribunda – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material
Floribunda production of Adson von Melk™ offers a compact, bushy framework with dense, glossy foliage and masses of yellow double flowers suited to standard-container programmes targeting 2–3 L retail units. The vivid, deep golden-yellow colour shows very good retention, fading only slightly while keeping a warm character that supports reliable, tidy bedding and park presentations. With remontant flowering and abundant second flushes, this cultivar underpins continuous performance in nursery and landscape supply chains needing predictable garden value. Own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL cuttings provide a durable base for long-term stands, with stable plant structure in nursery beds and container benches, supporting low replacement and planned capacity. Across UK conditions, it fits projects where winter and wind exposure are considerations, offering dependable structure in exposed plantings and networks. In professional timelines, roots establish in year one, shoots build framework in year two and full ornamental value peaks around year three, aligning well with multi-year programmes and collection maintenance. The bush-trained, compact release form integrates efficiently into bedding-rose ranges, thematic rose gardens and collection-style plantings where cultivar identity and colour blocks are essential. As own-root starting material, it supports renewable growth and stock renewal for nurseries and wholesale partners planning sustainable, long-lived production fields and supply routes, while the moderate maintenance requirement and medium disease resistance fit balanced crop-protection strategies.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Adson von Melk™ is a bedding floribunda rose in the bed rose commercial group, verified for authenticity; registered cultivar name not provided, former and ARS names not provided. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Georges Delbard in France and introduced in 2004, with parentage unknown; developed and commercialised as a Delbard bedding rose for shrub/floribunda use in professional production. |
| Awards and recognition |
No data provided on competition results, collector recommendations or formal awards; selection is positioned primarily on reliable garden performance in standard finished products. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, compact shrub reaching about 110–150 cm high with 80–120 cm spread; dense, glossy, medium-green foliage and densely thorned shoots give a solid structural presence in beds and containers. |
| Flower morphology |
Small, double flowers (26–39 petals) in cup form, carried in clusters of 3–5 per stem; remontant, with the second flowering also abundant, supporting extended decorative impact in production and landscape use. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vivid deep golden-yellow flowers, ARS dy, RHS 14B outer and 13B inner; colour retention is very good, with only slight fading while maintaining warm yellow tones from bud to full bloom and into age. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Light, yellow-fruity fragrance with mild intensity; double flowers with 26–39 petals limit pollinator access, so value is primarily ornamental rather than for pollinator-support plantings. |
| Hip characteristics |
Double flowers mean hip set is generally limited; where present, spherical orange-red hips about 6–10 mm across may appear occasionally, without being a major ornamental or production feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), suiting many UK field and container production settings with moderate plant protection. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flowerbeds, parks and specimen use with moderate maintenance needs; release as a bush-trained compact plant, ideal for standard container routes with 2–3 L target pot sizes in nursery production. |
Adson von Melk™ offers stable golden-yellow flowering, bushy compact structure and own-root longevity, giving predictable, long-lived stands that support reliable standard container programmes; we invite you to discuss scheduling and volume alignment.
