AUSLEAP – apricot-pink English rose – Austin – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting

Premium own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of AUSLEAP offers a stable cultivar choice for nurseries building exclusive English rose ranges, with dense, upright structure and bush-trained 3–5 cane form well suited to premium container production. The warm peach-pink, very full, cup-shaped flowers with strong, fruity fragrance support high-impact, romantic display in 5–7 L lines aimed at retail and reseller channels. Moderate hardiness to around -21 °C and balanced, medium maintenance needs align with UK nursery and public-realm supply systems that value steady performance in changeable conditions, including more exposed Scottish and northern sites with good winter and wind tolerance. Own-root propagation provides predictable regrowth and long-term stand homogeneity, with a typical development arc of root establishment in year one, framework shoot build-up in year two, and full ornamental expression from year three onwards.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L English rose containers	AUSLEAP’s exclusive positioning, premium gold rating and English Rose Collection status support higher-value shrub rose programmes in the premium container route. Bush-trained, 3–5 cane NEONATAL plants quickly fill 5–7 L pots with upright, dense structure, while own-root stability underpins long-term stock and private-label ranges targeting exclusive finished product lines for the retail / reseller.
Romantic, fragrance-led feature specimens	The very full, medium-sized cup blooms with strong, sweet-fruity fragrance deliver reliable, high-perceived-value feature plants when grown on as premium container shrubs. Using NEONATAL own-root bases, growers can standardise release form and fragrance quality across batches, suited to curated fragrance or romantic rose benches focused on flower quality and form for the retail / reseller.
Thematic and collection rose gardens	As a David Austin-bred English shrub rose with ARS exhibition status as ‘Sweet Juliet’, AUSLEAP fits well into thematic and collection plantings where cultivar identity and continuity matter. Own-root propagation helps maintain genetic and structural consistency over many cycles, supporting long-term show garden and collection contracts delivered via exclusive finished product programmes for the retail / reseller.
Colour-coordinated romantic bed plantings	The warm peach-pink colour range, from deep peach-orange buds to softer pastel and yellowish tones, enables coherent romantic schemes in premium flower beds. Remontant flowering with abundant rebloom supports a long display window, so container-finished plants can be scheduled for colour-critical retail promotions and project deliveries in the retail / reseller.
Cut-flower oriented shrub production	Very full, cluster-borne, cup-shaped blooms on 110–170 cm upright shrubs provide suitable stems for garden-style cut flower use alongside bed and specimen sales. Using 5–7 L premium containers, growers can serve both landscape and floral channels from the same production line, while own-root plants regenerate well after cutting cycles, supporting repeatable offers for the retail / reseller.
Robust nursery stock for variable UK climates	Moderate hardiness down to around -21 °C, H7 rating and tolerance of heat given regular irrigation provide flexibility for production across diverse UK regions, including more exposed northern and Scottish sites where winter and wind can be significant. NEONATAL own-root material offers predictable regrowth and lower replacement rates, supporting dependable supply into exclusive finished product assortments for the retail / reseller.
Medium-maintenance, high-impact display ranges	Moderate disease resistance and medium maintenance needs, including occasional pest control and deadheading of spent very double blooms, are acceptable in higher-margin premium container programmes. Bush-trained NEONATAL plants streamline shaping work, allowing nurseries to focus labour efficiently while still delivering refined, flower-quality-led assortments to the retail / reseller.
Own-root propagation beds and stock blocks	Rooted cuttings at 3–6 months provide a scalable base for building internal stock beds, ensuring long-term access to this romantic English shrub for collection and exclusive ranges. Own-root stands support renewal by division or further propagation, stabilising capacity and reducing the risk of graft incompatibility issues across planning horizons for the retail / reseller.

Name and registration	Registered as AUSleap, marketed as Ausleap English Rose AUSleap with ARS exhibition name ‘Sweet Juliet’; part of the English Rose Collection and Romantic rose commercial group.
Origin and breeding	Bred by David C. H. Austin in the United Kingdom (1989), from ‘Graham Thomas’ × ‘Admired Miranda’; registered 1993 and introduced after 1993 by David Austin Roses Ltd.
Awards and recognition	Recognised for its fragrance with a Belfast Fragrance Award in 1992, underpinning its suitability for fragrance-led premium shrub rose and English rose programmes and specialist assortments.
Growth and structural characteristics	Upright shrub reaching about 110–170 cm high and 90–150 cm spread, moderately thorny with dense, glossy mid-green foliage; very double blooms may need deadheading to maintain presentation.
Flower morphology	Very full, cup-shaped, cluster-borne flowers with more than 40 petals, medium-sized at approximately 1.5–2.75 inches in diameter and repeating well, with the second flush also abundantly presented.
Colour data and phenology	Peach-pink base with subtle orange undertone; buds deep peach-orange, opening salmon-peach with pale pink edge, then cream-peach to yellowish as they fade; ARS ab, RHS 28C outer, 24D inner, medium colour retention.
Fragrance and aroma	Strongly and richly scented with a sweet, fruity character, contributing to its award recognition; very double form limits pollinator access, making it primarily an ornamental and fragrance feature cultivar.

Resistance and winter hardiness	Moderate disease resistance, with powdery mildew, black spot and rust at moderate levels; hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3) and moderately tolerant of heat given adequate irrigation.
