Ännchen Müller – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting for professional production
Groundcover propagation of Ännchen Müller offers professional producers a stable, own-root base for dense, beds and project mass plantings in 1.5–2 L production lines, where the bushy, upright, habit and moderately dense, mid-green foliage translate efficiently into a uniform, bush-trained finished product. The remontant, abundantly repeating, clustered flowers give sustained ornamental impact in park and landscape borders, while the vibrant coral-pink colour range supports coherent, thematic collections in dedicated rose gardens and public-realm schemes. Own-root material provides long-term regeneration and predictable stands, fitting UK nursery workflows where winter and wind exposure in northern regions require reliable hardiness, supporting stable capacity for project-based wholesale supply.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Current trade name: Ännchen Müller Groundcover Schmidt, exhibition name Ännchen Müller; groundcover rose within Ground cover collection; unregistered cultivar with no separate registered name recorded. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Johann Christoph Schmidt in Germany, 1906, introduced by Blumenschmidt in 1907; parentage ‘Turner’s Crimson Rambler’ × ‘Georges Pernet’, developed within J. C. Schmidt Nursery, Erfurt, for groundcover and park use. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, upright shrub rose, 70–110 cm high, 40–80 cm spread, moderately thorny, with moderately dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage; self-cleaning behaviour not documented for this cultivar. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, 13–25-petalled, cupped flowers of small size (0.5–1.5 in), borne in clusters; remontant with abundant second flowering, supporting repeated seasonal display in bedding and mass-planting schemes. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vibrant warm coral-pink, ARS DPk, RHS 48C–48B; buds dark, almost carmine-tinged, opening radiant coral pink, then gently fading to softer, pastel coral pink tones; moderate overall colour retention in landscape use. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, slightly sweet fragrance with subtle scent level; semi-double blooms (13–25 petals) are moderately attractive to pollinators, with partially obscured stamens reducing full pollen and nectar accessibility. |
| Hip characteristics |
Moderately abundant spherical red hips, around 5–8 mm diameter; provide additional seasonal interest and potential wildlife value without dominating the ornamental effect in mass plantings or park beds. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate general disease resistance; resistant to powdery mildew, moderate for black spot and rust; hardy to approximately –21 to –18 °C, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b for reliable overwintering in exposed plantings. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, hedging and park beds, primarily as project mass planting; medium maintenance requirement with occasional plant protection; supplied as uniform, dense, bush-trained finished material from own-root cuttings. |
Ännchen Müller as pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root material combines fast, uniform coverage, hardy performance and long-term regenerative stands, offering nurseries and project suppliers a predictable base for aligning capacity and scheduling in professional rose production.
