Apricot Clementine® Mini - dwarf rose TAN96130 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Compact patio-focused Apricot Clementine® offers a dwarf growth habit ideal for dense container benches, with tray-rooted pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material providing a uniform starting point for 1.5–2 L terrace and balcony production. Its remontant flowering delivers repeated colour for impulse-led retail, while own-root longevity supports low replacement rates and reliable reordering. The warm peach colour progression from bud to fade gives strong table- and eye-level impact in small spaces, aligned to UK garden-centre retail ranges that emphasise instant floral effect. With hardiness to H7 and medium disease tolerance, it integrates well into nursery and networked supply programmes that must perform from Scotland to the South-East, supporting public-realm and collection projects in a range of sites with dependable, container-compatible performance.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Apricot Clementine® Mini - dwarf rose TAN96130, floribunda/patio dwarf mini rose; ARS exhibition name Apricot Clementine; registered cultivar TAN96130, verified authenticity and premium silver quality rating. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers (Rosen Tantau, Germany) around 1994; introduced and registered in 2001 via Rosen Tantau, with parentage not provided and classification aligned to mini–dwarf floribunda shrub use. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bushy growth with 45–55 cm height and spread; dense, slightly glossy mid-green foliage around RHS 137A; moderately thorny shoots create a neat, dwarf shrub suited to close container spacing and small-group planting. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double (26–39 petals), cup-shaped flowers borne in clusters; remontant with abundant second flowering; structure optimised for decorative patio and mini-rose effects rather than high pollinator attraction or cutting use. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Peach, warm peach-yellow with subtle orange tone; bud deep orange-peach, opening vivid peach-yellow, then bright peach-yellow to creamy peach with light rosy edges; moderate colour retention, creating gentle, attractive fade across the flush. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very weak, barely noticeable scent; fragrance character not described in detail, and floral structure with strongly double, small blooms primarily supports visual ornamental value rather than scented or pollinator-focused planting concepts. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hips set sparsely due to double flowers; when present, approximately 9–12 mm, spherical, red-orange, mainly of descriptive interest rather than a primary landscape or wildlife feature in typical nursery and retail applications. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium disease resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness to about -21 to -18 °C, RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b; container cultivation preferred with consistent watering, as prolonged drought reduces performance. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for compact container production, terrace and balcony use, small groups and rockeries; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection; ideal release form is a compact, dense bush in 1.5–2 L pots for retail patios and impulse colour. |
