BELLE COQUETTE – pink landscape shrub rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
BELLE COQUETTE rooted cuttings provide a reliable own‑root platform for nursery propagation beds and container production where uniform, bush‑trained project material is needed at scale; the cultivar forms a dense, mid‑green canopy with bushy structure, giving fast visual coverage in 1.5–2 L lines and later in 40–50 litre landscape containers for project mass planting. Its remontant, cluster‑flowering habit with medium, double, pastel light‑pink blooms offers consistent presentation for thematic rose gardens and curated collections, even where beds must read cleanly from distance in public‑realm schemes that face cold, exposed UK sites with dependable winter performance. Own‑root NEONATAL material underpins long‑term stands through renewable growth and regeneration capacity, reducing replacement work over the life of a project and supporting predictable scheduling from Year 1 root establishment through Year 2 structural build‑up to full ornamental value from Year 3, aligning well with professional networks seeking stable, wholesale‑scale supply.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Modern shrub (landscape shrub) from the Bedding rose collection; current trade name BELLE COQUETTE Bedding rose Schultheis, ARS exhibition name Belle Coquette; commercial group bed rose. |
| Origin and breeding |
Seedling of ‘Bonica’ (Meilland, 1975); bred by Heinrich Schultheis at Rosenhof Schultheis, Germany, with breeding and introduction dated to 1999; registration year data not provided. |
| Awards and recognition |
Not provided; no competition results, collectors’ recommendations or formal horticultural ratings have been recorded in the supplied data set. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy landscape shrub with dense, mid-green, glossy foliage and moderate prickles; height around 85–120 cm and spread 75–110 cm, forming compact, mass-planting-suited bushes. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, cup-shaped, double flowers with 26–39 petals, borne in clusters; remontant habit with an abundant second flowering phase following the main flush. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pure pastel light-pink (RHS 65C outer, 65D inner) deepening slightly at the centre, fading towards nearly white edges; colour retention moderate with possible spotting in cool, wet weather. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Soft, delicately rosy fragrance of mild strength; strongly double flower form limits stamen accessibility, so pollinator attraction and pollinator friendliness are described as limited. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is limited because of the double flowers; when present, hips are small, spherical, orange-red, approximately 6–10 mm in diameter, and not a primary ornamental feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring regular plant protection; winter hardy to about −32 to −29 °C, RHS rating H7, Swedish zone 5, USDA zone 4b. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, pots, parks and urban green spaces; maintenance requirement high with continuous monitoring; release as uniform, dense, bush-trained finished shrubs for project mass planting. |
BELLE COQUETTE combines bushy, fast-covering structure with pastel, remontant flowering and strong winter hardiness on an own-root, regenerative base that supports predictable long-term stands; we would be pleased to discuss scheduling and volume alignment.
