AMULET™ – red bedding polyantha rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Compact growth, uniform bedding performance and remontant flowering make AMULET™ a practical, dependable choice for nursery propagation aimed at project-scale mass planting, where a dense, bush-trained finished product in 1.5–2 L containers can be turned quickly into saleable stock. The intense, bright red, clustered blooms hold their colour well, providing fast, high-impact coverage for landscape specifications that require visible effect from the first season onwards. This own-root, tray-grown NEONATAL material supports predictable year-on-year production planning with a natural development arc where roots establish in the first year, shoots consolidate in the second, and full ornamental value stabilises by the third. In UK schemes needing reliable performance in colder regions and exposed sites, it offers reassuring hardiness while supporting wholesale chains focused on thematic rose collections and consistent, repeatable projects across sites. Its pollinator-friendly single flowers and resistant foliage align with contemporary public‑realm requirements, while own-root sustainability and regeneration capacity underpin low replacement rates and long-term capacity for growers and project-serving wholesalers.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Polyantha bed rose in the Mella collection, with registered cultivar name BOZamulpap and current trade names Amulet™, Mella®, BOZamulpap; no alternative exhibition name is recorded. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga for Pheno Geno Roses d o o, parentage unknown; introduced commercially by PhenoGeno Roses (Serbia) from 2019, with breeding work completed around 2018. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact shrub to around 35–55 cm in both height and spread, forming dense, bushy plants with glossy, dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning performance has not been documented. |
| Flower morphology |
Small, single, flat flowers of about 0.5–1.5 inches across, typically 5–12 petals, borne in clustered inflorescences; remontant with a notably abundant second flowering flush extending display. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Uniform, intense bright red blooms (RHS 46B outer, 46A inner) that retain colour well, later softening slightly to pale raspberry red; buds are deep red and velvety, with vivid tones at full bloom. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, with no detailed scent profile reported; focus of the cultivar is on colour impact, flowering continuity and landscape performance rather than aromatic value. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces moderate numbers of small, spherical red hips about 5–8 mm across; hips add some discrete seasonal interest but are not a dominant ornamental feature in standard plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated hardy to around -21–-18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); resistant to powdery mildew and rust, with medium black spot tolerance, making it broadly suitable for robust landscape use. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Performs best in sheltered, well-ventilated sites; in enclosed, humid urban courtyards plant protection may be necessary; moderate maintenance needs, recommended for dense, bush-trained project mass plantings. |
