Alexandra - P. de Luxembourg ® – salmon-pink hybrid tea rose – Kordes

Premium own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation of Alexandra - P. de Luxembourg ® provides reliable input stock for nurseries targeting an exclusive hybrid tea offer with strong retail pull through its flower quality and classic form. The bush-trained, 3–5-cane framework supports a bushy finished habit, well suited to 5–7 L premium containers and border or specimen use where consistent presentation matters for reseller partners. Own-root production helps underpin long-term stability in thematic and collection plantings, with predictable renewal and low replacement rates over time, beneficial where winters can be severe and winds persistent in northern and exposed UK settings. With medium maintenance needs and occasional plant protection, this cultivar aligns with professional programmes that value planned inputs, structured scheduling and clear differentiation in the premium hybrid tea rose segment.


Usage options

Target area Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for retail/reseller programmes The premium container route is a natural fit for this hybrid tea, with its exclusive finished-product positioning and strong flower quality in 5–7 L formats. The bush-trained, 3–5 cane structure builds a balanced crown that reads well at point of sale, and own-root material provides predictable regrowth after pruning in nursery cycles. Medium maintenance needs remain manageable in container blocks, supporting consistent batches for planned launch dates in retail and reseller networks focused on premium rose ranges for discerning end-customers. Retail / reseller
Border and specimen roses for thematic and show gardens The bushy, medium-height framework and dense, mid-green foliage make this cultivar suitable as a repeat-flowering specimen or border element in thematic rose gardens and curated collections. Its remontant, strongly fragrant flowers deliver the visual and olfactory focus expected from an exclusive hybrid tea line. Own-root propagation supports long-term border stability and easier renewal of ageing plants, aligning with collection maintenance where identity and continuity are critical over years of replanting cycles. Thematic rose garden / collection
Collection and gene-bank style maintenance planting Verified cultivar authenticity and a clear registration background give confidence for collection and gene-bank style stands, where accurate identity and traceability are essential. Own-root NEONATAL propagation supports repeat propagation cycles from uniform base material, reducing variability between batches. Using the bush-trained form as a standard production template simplifies layout in nursery propagation beds dedicated to long-term cultivar maintenance, aligning with professional suppliers managing broader hybrid tea collections. Cultivar collections
Fragrance-led premium hybrid tea assortments The strong, distinctly sweet-fruity fragrance and warm salmon-pink, rosette-shaped blooms allow inclusion in fragrance-focused hybrid tea assortments that justify higher unit prices. The premium container path and 5–7 L target pot size give sufficient root volume to express fragrance and flower quality reliably by the second sales season. This supports retail and reseller partners developing signature scented rose selections without compromising on a manageable, medium maintenance profile. Fragrance-focused retail
Colour-coordinated salmon-pink and coral display concepts The stable salmon-pink tonality with a soft coral tinge and controlled fading to pastel, creamy-edged blooms enables precise colour-blocked merchandising and project planning. Cluster-flowered, double rosette blooms give generous colour surfaces per plant, important in premium container or border use. Own-root plants provide a uniform colour expression over years, facilitating repeatable schemes for retailers and project suppliers specifying consistent salmon-pink hybrid teas across seasons. Colour-themed assortments
Cold-climate and northern UK nursery production With hardiness down to approximately –29 to –26 °C (H7, USDA 5a, Swedish Zone 4), this cultivar is suitable for nurseries and projects in colder and more exposed parts of the UK. Own-root stock supports recovery after winter damage, reducing replacement rates in block plantings and ensuring dependable supply for premium container programmes. This is particularly relevant where reliable winter and wind tolerance is required for repeated call-off orders in northern nursery networks and public-realm supply chains. Scottish / North England supply
Long-term own-root production blocks for predictable capacity Own-root material allows the establishment of durable mother blocks in nursery beds, supporting renewable cutting supply over multiple years. The bushy structure and dense foliage create efficient light interception in production stands, while medium maintenance demands are compatible with standard protective regimes. This improves predictability in premium container production, with year-on-year capacity planning and homogeneous quality for exclusive hybrid tea assortments serving retailers and reseller partners. Professional rose growers
High-visibility specimen containers 40–50 L for institutional projects For public-realm or institutional projects requiring strong visual impact, selected plants can be grown on from 5–7 L up to 40–50 L containers to deliver fully developed bushes. The dense foliage, bushy habit and generous, cluster-borne blooms create a strong, premium effect in entrances or representative spaces. Own-root resilience supports longevity in large-planter installations, offering stable ornamental value and predictable re-supply options for institutional and project-focused channels.

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter Data
Name and registration Hybrid tea rose from the MärchenRosen® collection with registered name KORjuknei; traded as Alexandra - P. de Luxembourg ® and Alexandra Princesse de Luxembourg in exhibition use.
Origin and breeding Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes in Germany in 2000; registration recorded in 2012 (US PP 22 499), with introduction to the market after 2012; detailed parentage and initial distributor not provided.
Awards and recognition Recognised in international competition, including a silver medal at the Kortrijk International Rose Competition, alongside further unspecified awards, indicating strong ornamental and garden performance assessment.
Growth and structural characteristics Bushy habit to around 80–105 cm high and 50–70 cm spread, with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage; moderately thorny canes and a framework suited to bush training with 3–5 strong structural shoots.
Flower morphology Large, double, rosette-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, typically borne in clusters; remontant, with a generous second flowering flush; self-cleaning is weak, so deadheading is advised for continued performance.
Colour data and phenology Warm salmon-pink flowers with a delicate coral tinge, ARS OPk, RHS 38C outer and 36B inner; buds darker at the tip; colour fades from vivid salmon-pink to pastel shades with creamy petal edges at decline.
Fragrance and aroma Strong, distinctly fragrant rose with a sweet, fruity character; highly ornamental but with double, bi-coloured blooms that limit pollinator access, so pollinator friendliness is relatively low compared with more open forms.
Hip characteristics Hip set is generally scant because of the double flowers and self-cleaning tendency; occasional small ellipsoidal orange-red hips, around 8–12 mm in diameter, may be produced under favourable conditions.
Resistance and winter hardiness Hardy to approximately –29 to –26 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 4, USDA 5a); disease profile includes moderate powdery mildew tolerance, with black spot and rust rated as resistant; heat and drought tolerance not provided.
Horticultural recommendations Suitable for borders, specimen uses and container culture; best as bush-trained plants with 3–5 canes for premium container production; maintenance needs are medium, with occasional plant protection recommended.
