BÁNÁT – cherry-red climbing rose, climber - Márk
The pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root form of BÁNÁT provides professional growers with a stable, large-flowered climber for trained-finished routes where vertical, space-defining structures are commercially important. With medium maintenance needs and remontant flowering, this cherry-red colour type supports reliable scheduling into 5–7 L climber programs and trained, staked material for pergolas, arches, fences and arbours. The moderately dense, mid-green foliage sets off the deep cherry-red blooms, while good heat tolerance and H7-rated winter hardiness allow confident use across demanding UK nursery networks, including sites where exposure to wind and cold is common in Scotland and northern England. Own-root, tray-grown cuttings build towards commercial structure in a predictable arc—roots first, then structural shoots, then full ornamental impact—giving You scope to plan volumes, align logistics and maintain a coherent, collection-level portfolio for retail and project channels.

Data |
| Name and registration |
Collection climbing rose, garden climbing rose; arbor and pergola rose type, current trade name Bánát Climbing rose Márk, commercial climber in the Climber, Large-Flowered Climber group. |
| Origin and breeding |
Selected by breeder Márk Gergely at Kertészeti Kutató Intézet, Budatétény, Hungary; introduced commercially via PharmaRosa Ltd, with parentage and exact breeding year not provided. |
| Awards and recognition |
No awards, competition results or collector recommendations are recorded; performance assessment is based on practical horticultural observations rather than formal trial distinctions. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Climbing growth habit reaching approximately 210–340 cm in height with 120–200 cm spread; moderately dense, mid‑green slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness support a clearly structural vertical presence. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double, cupped flowers with 26–39 petals carried in clusters; remontant, with an abundant second flush, providing repeated ornamental value on trained climber frameworks through the season. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cherry-red blooms, ARS code MR, RHS 53B outer and 53C inner; deep uniform cherry-red at full bloom, only moderately lightening yet remaining red as flowers age, with good colour retention across flowering. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance character is not described in detail; the variety is noted as very weakly scented, with scent detectable only at close range, so its primary value in production is visual rather than olfactory. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally forms small ellipsoidal hips around 8–14 mm in diameter, orange-red in colour; hips are not a dominant ornamental feature but may add minor seasonal interest in lower-maintenance plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated H7 with approximate hardiness between –21 and –18 °C, Swedish zone 3 and USDA 6b; disease resistance is moderate to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, generally aligning with medium maintenance requirements. |
