ANGIE – cream‑yellow bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Fragrance from the Grands Parfums collection defines Angie as a compact, floribunda bedding option tailored to border and container production where reliable garden performance is a retail priority. As a bush‑trained, upright plant with clustered large double blooms, it fits standard 2–3 L container lines while offering a strong, citrusy perfume rarely found in such manageable growth. Its resistant foliage and low maintenance needs help nurseries deliver homogeneous, premium bronze quality with fewer interventions, supporting predictable scheduling across nursery networks even in cooler, wind‑exposed regions with demanding site conditions. Own‑root NEONATAL material provides a renewable long‑term base – roots consolidating in year one, structural shoots building in year two, and full ornamental value stabilising from year three for durable collections, thematic plantings and wholesale assortments. The tray‑rooted cuttings are easy to integrate into standard production flows, while the capacity to upscale volumes and maintain identity supports private‑label ranges and curated rose gardens.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright shrub reaching about 85–115 cm in height and 40–60 cm spread, with moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, producing a clean, bush-trained outline. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne mainly in clusters; remontant habit with an abundant second flush provides sustained decorative value under suitable cultural conditions. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cream-yellow base colour with peachy-yellow centre, opening from light cream buds; tones fade moderately to off-white with faint peach in sun, creating a soft, pastel effect through the flowering cycle. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, well-scented rose with a fresh, citrusy fragrance profile; the highly filled, double flower form emphasises scent and ornamental effect rather than pollinator access or functional uses. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally slight, with occasional ovoid, egg-shaped hips 12–18 mm in diameter, colouring orange-red where formed; hips are incidental rather than a primary ornamental feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Good resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, coupled with hardiness around –21 to –18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); tolerates heat but needs irrigation during prolonged drought. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to borders, cut-flower side use and specimen roles; release as a compact, bush-trained plant in standard containers, typically 2–3 L, with generally low maintenance needs under normal care. |
