Atlas™ – Hybrid tea rose – DELkort – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL

Exclusive own-root Atlas™ offers a dependable premium base for nursery and wholesale rose production, combining hybrid-tea flower quality with compact, upright habit ideal for 5–7 L container finishing and border or specimen use. Dense, dark green foliage supports the white‑pink, bicoloured blooms whose colour holds well without notable fading, while mild, rose‑character fragrance and reliable repeat-flowering support consistent crop appearance. On own roots, Atlas™ builds a regenerative, long‑lived stand, aligning with UK nursery systems where nationwide distribution benefits from material proven in colder zones and robust winter tolerance. The typical development arc sees roots consolidating in year one, structural shoots forming in year two, and full ornamental value stabilising from year three, suiting professional programmes focused on predictable, low‑intervention maintenance and exclusive, flower‑driven retail propositions.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container line for retail	Compact 70–95 cm height and 45–65 cm spread work cleanly into a premium container pathway, filling 5–7 L pots with a balanced, upright structure at marketable size. Own-root material provides a renewable, low-replacement base for building an exclusive finished-product range where flower form and colour are the key retail differentiators. Recommended for premium container release with low-intervention maintenance in mind, matching exclusive finished-product positioning for retail / reseller
Border and specimen lines for thematic rose gardens	Atlas™ functions well as a border or specimen rose, allowing growers to supply thematic or collection-style gardens with a repeat-flowering hybrid tea in a controlled size class. The dense, dark green foliage and upright habit deliver a neat framework when bush-trained to 3–5 canes, suiting premium container production for later planting into curated borders. The own-root form supports long-term stand stability and cultivar authenticity for collection projects aimed at public-realm suppliers
Cut-flower and exhibition hybrid tea production	As a designated exhibition hybrid tea and cut-flower type, Atlas™ can underpin small- to medium-scale cut-flower lines where stem quality and bloom form are prioritised. Bush-trained plants with 3–5 strong framework canes in 5–7 L pots give a robust base for stem cutting while maintaining plant vigour in nursery beds. Own-root propagation allows recurrent harvesting without compromising plant identity, supporting value-added ranges aimed at specialist retailers
Low-intervention, disease-resilient production blocks	Documented resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust supports low-intervention production where uniformity and reduced spray input are priorities. In nursery blocks and container layouts, this lowers management load and risk, particularly in wetter UK seasons, helping maintain consistent quality across volume runs. Aligning this resilience with a premium container route enhances reliability for exclusive, flower-quality-focused ranges supplied to integrator systems
Repeat-flowering retail assortment anchor	Good repeat-flowering with an abundant second flush offers reliable colour windows for timed retail programmes. This supports planning around key sales peaks, as 5–7 L own-root stock can be scheduled to present a high proportion of budded and flowering plants. Stable, predictable rebloom is especially valuable in exclusive finished products marketed primarily on flower quality and form to garden-centre chains
Colour-focused hybrid tea feature SKU	The distinctive white base with vivid pink margins and good colour retention provides a recognisable SKU for colour-segmented assortments. With minimal reported fading and consistent bicolour expression, Atlas™ can be positioned as a dependable headline item within premium hybrid tea container ranges. This appeals to programmes that differentiate primarily on flower colour and form for brand-focused retailers
Pollinator-aware ornamental lines	Semi-double (13–25 petal) blooms moderately attract pollinators, allowing growers to offer a visually refined hybrid tea that still contributes to pollinator-friendly portfolios. When grown in 5–7 L pots to bush-trained form, Atlas™ fits well into mixed benches or border mixes where ornamental value and ecological messaging both matter. This aligns with exclusive retail concepts that highlight added habitat value for nursery networks
Cold-tolerant own-root stock for UK-wide distribution	With H7 rating, -21 to -18 °C hardiness and Swedish Zone 3 performance, Atlas™ offers a reassuring buffer for UK nursery and distribution systems exposed to harsher winters and exposed sites. As own-root, it regenerates reliably after stress, enabling homogeneous stands and reduced replacement across production blocks, supporting nationwide supply where winter and wind exposure are significant. This resilience underpins an exclusive, flower-led finished product dependable enough for wholesale partners
