Bajazzo® – maroon-white striped-petal hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL

Exhibition quality, cut-flower potential and strong colour contrast make Bajazzo® a distinctive Hybrid Tea for nurseries building premium, own-root propagation lines towards 5–7 L bush-trained containers and exclusive retail / reseller channels. Its dense foliage, tall climbing height and high-centred, solitary blooms support specimen and flower-bed concepts for thematic rose gardens and collection plantings, while own-root production underpins long-term regeneration and predictable replacement cycles at nursery and integrator level. Within year-on-year production planning – roots in the first year, structural shoot build-up in the second, and full ornamental value by the third – Bajazzo® slots into premium container programmes designed for UK networks where reliable winter hardiness suits cooler northern and Scottish sites exposed to wind.


Usage options

Target area Reasoning
Premium exhibition-grade bush in 5–7 L containers Bajazzo® offers exhibition-capable flower form for premium container routes, with high-centred, solitary Hybrid Tea blooms well suited to 5–7 L bush-trained plants. The strong focus on flower quality and form aligns with an exclusive finished product positioning in retail and reseller channels, particularly where own-root material is valued for long lifespan and stable stands. Although disease management input is high, this can be justified in premium production paths aimed at collectors and specialist garden centres, including thematic rose gardens and show collections, especially in UK regions where reliable winter hardiness supports long-term specimen performance for professional-growers.
Cut-flower and exhibition-stem production blocks The cultivar’s solitary, high-centred Hybrid Tea flowers and strong fragrance support a dual focus on cut-flower and show-stem production within nursery or wholesale units. Training as a bush with 3–5 strong framework canes in 5–7 L containers provides a robust base for high-quality stem harvest, while own-root propagation gives predictable regrowth and reduces long-term replacement risk. This suits integrator systems and private-label programmes looking to differentiate on flower form and fragrance, even where more intensive plant protection is acceptable at higher price points, serving cut-flower-specialists.
Specimen focal points for thematic and show gardens With its tall climbing habit and dense, dark green foliage, Bajazzo® can be grown on as a visually dominant specimen, ideal for dedicated rose gardens and curated collections. Premium container production in 5–7 L sizes enables flexible deployment into landscape schemes and show installations, where own-root material’s regenerative capacity supports long service life and consistent ornamental value. Disease-susceptible behaviour demands professional maintenance, fitting municipal or institutional projects where contracted care is in place and distinctive flower quality is a key procurement driver for public-realm-suppliers.
Colour-contrast feature lines in retail-focused ranges The deep burgundy-red petals with striking white lacing provide a high-impact colour contrast that can anchor themed colour ranges in retail-oriented programmes. Remontant flowering with a notably abundant second flush offers extended sales appeal during the season when staged in premium 5–7 L containers. Own-root propagation supports homogeneous colour performance and predictable crop timing across large batches, important for coordinators supplying national networks. This approach is well suited to exclusive finished products positioned as visual highlights in reseller and specialist nursery selections for premium-retailers.
Remontant feature for collection and gene-bank stands The remontant habit with a strong second flowering makes Bajazzo® useful in collection and gene-bank style stands where repeated assessment of bloom form and colour is required across the season. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a stable genetic and structural base for long-term maintenance, lowering the risk of stock decline versus grafted material under repeated propagation. Although high intervention against disease is necessary, this fits professional collection environments where plant-health monitoring is standard, particularly in themed rose gardens and show collections curated for rose-collections.
Climbing-rose training for vertical retail concepts Bajazzo® combines a climbing habit and 150–190 cm height with dense foliage, lending itself to vertical presentation on frames or short trellis in premium container lines. Bush-training from NEONATAL cuttings into 3–5 strong canes allows flexible later conversion to climbing forms at the retail or end-user stage, increasing concept versatility from a single propagation base. Own-root longevity and regenerative capacity underpin re-forming of plants after pruning, supporting repeat cropping plans and lower write-off rates in nursery chains and landscape supplier catalogues for wholesale-nurseries.
Winter-hardy stock for northern display gardens With documented hardiness down to -21 – -18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), Bajazzo® is suitable for nurseries serving cooler and exposed UK areas, including sites where wind and winter conditions can be challenging. This supports thematic display and show gardens in northern regions, with own-root plants offering reliable regeneration after stress and reducing long-term replacement costs. Disease-prone behaviour still requires active management, but where contracted maintenance is standard, the cultivar’s flower quality and colour justify its role as a premium feature in public and institutional plantings for landscape-contractors.
Premium container line with own-root longevity focus As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root cutting, Bajazzo® provides a stable base for multi-year premium container production, supporting the development arc from rooting in year one through structural shoot build-up in year two to full ornamental expression in year three. This aligns well with 5–7 L premium container targets, where growers can plan predictable capacity and visually impressive stock for exclusive retail ranges. Particularly relevant to UK nursery networks, where reliable winter hardiness suits cooler northern and Scottish sites exposed to wind, this route supports credible, long-term offers for integrator-systems.

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter Data
Name and registration Bajazzo is a Hybrid Tea cultivar registered and traded as Bajazzo® Hybrid tea rose Bajazzo, recognised by the American Rose Society with the exhibition name Bajazzo for cut flower and exhibition categories.
Origin and breeding Bred by Reimer Kordes at W. Kordes’ Söhne in Germany and introduced in 1961, Bajazzo has unknown parentage but follows classic Hybrid Tea breeding lines, with initial distribution likewise handled by W. Kordes’ Söhne.
Growth and structural characteristics Climbing growth habit reaching approximately 150–190 cm in height with 75–105 cm spread, dense dark green, slightly glossy foliage and a notably thorny framework, forming a strong structure for bush training on 3–5 main canes.
Flower morphology Double-flowered Hybrid Tea with 26–39 petals, medium flower size on solitary, high-centred, pointed buds of cut-rose character, remontant with a particularly abundant second flowering period after the initial flush.
Colour data and phenology Base colour deep velvety burgundy-red with pure white petal lacing and white reverse (ARS rb, RHS 53A/155D), fading moderately to raspberry tones; overall bloom effect remains striking, with moderate colour retention across opening stages.
Fragrance and aroma Strong, elegantly floral fragrance that remains noticeable when used as a cut flower, giving the variety sensory value beyond visual impact, though fragrance character is primarily decorative rather than targeted to cosmetic applications.
Hip characteristics Due to double flowers, hips are sparsely formed, typically small ovoid structures about 10–14 mm, coloured red (RHS 43A), providing limited ornamental fruit effect and little relevance for production planning or wildlife value.
Resistance and winter hardiness Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring intensive plant protection; winter hardiness rated to approximately -21 – -18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), making it structurally reliable in colder climates under professional care.
Horticultural recommendations Best used as premium flower-bed, cut-flower or specimen material; maintenance demand is high with frequent interventions needed, so it suits professional programmes using bush-trained forms in 5–7 L containers for exclusive channels.

Bajazzo® combines exhibition-grade flower form, striking burgundy-white contrast and reliable winter hardiness on a predictable own-root base that supports long-lived, regenerating stands, making it a considered choice for discussion when planning premium container capacity.
