BARMACREME – apricot-pink hybrid tea rose – Barth
Premium own-root BARMACREME offers dense, mid-green foliage, an upright, bush-trained framework and XL, very double, cupped blooms that fit an exclusive finished-product segment. Developed for tray-rooted pharmaROSA NEONATAL production, it allows you to plan a clear 5–7 L container route for premium hybrid tea lines, with reliable, repeat flowering and strong, classic English-rose fragrance as the main retail value driver. On own roots, the variety supports stable, renewable stands for nursery networks and collection gardens, aligning well with UK public-realm projects where nationwide logistics and winter-tolerant, H7-rated stock are essential. Over a natural arc of roots in year one, structural shoots in year two and full ornamental expression in year three, BARMACREME provides a resilient base for exclusive, flower-quality-led ranges, simplifying longer-term planning for wholesale partners and large operators focused on predictable supply.

Hybrid tea rose, commercial type and group hybrid tea; current trade name Barmacreme Hybrid tea rose Barth; other registration data not provided, exhibition name not provided. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in France in 2017 by René Barth; parentage, breeding company or institution, introduction and registration years and initial distributor are not provided or listed as no data. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright growth habit reaching about 80–110 cm in height with 50–70 cm spread; moderately thorny shoots and dense, slightly glossy mid-green foliage (RHS 137A); self-cleaning intensity and behaviour not provided. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, solitary, cupped hybrid tea flowers with 40 or more petals; XL size from approximately 3.5 inches upwards; repeats well, with the second flowering described as also abundant for extended seasonal effect. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pastel cream to peach-pink tones; outer petals cream (RHS 158D), inner petals peach-pink (RHS 36D); colour briefly intensifies then fades to creamy ecru with only a light rosy hint; overall colour retention described as moderate. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance of classic, English-rose character with a strong yet not overpowering rose scent; no data on suitability for soap or cosmetic use; pollinator attraction is low as the very double form limits stamen accessibility. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally limited because of the very double flowers; where present, hips are spherical, about 10–14 mm in diameter and orange-red (RHS 40A), appearing only occasionally rather than abundantly. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated hardy to approximately –21 to –18 °C, RHS H7 and Swedish Zone 3; USDA Zone 6b; disease resistance moderate overall, with powdery mildew, black spot and rust all assessed as moderate under typical conditions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended as a premium container product, especially 5–7 L pots; bush-trained with 3–5 strong framework canes; medium maintenance levels, with occasional pest and disease control advised; primary use data otherwise not provided. |
BARMACREME offers XL, pastel-toned, fragrant hybrid tea blooms on cold-hardy, own-root plants that support predictable, regenerative stands, making it a considered choice for aligning premium container capacity and scheduling discussions.
