BELLE DE LA CARNIERE – pink hybrid tea rose – Ducher
Professional own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of BELLE DE LA CARNIERE offers exclusive hybrid tea flower quality for UK nurseries aiming at premium, exhibition-leaning lines where form and colour differentiation matter in 5–7 L containers. The upright, bush-trained structure with 3–5 framework canes supports efficient shaping for specimen and cut-flower orientated production, while own-root longevity underpins stable, homogeneous stands and reduced replacement over multi-year cropping. Its remontant habit enables a dependable second flush for premium retail and reseller timing, while moderate maintenance needs remain compatible with professional plant protection routines. Suitable for thematic hybrid tea displays and collection plantings, it also integrates reliably into nursery networks serving public-realm projects in cooler and wind-exposed regions of Scotland and northern England through its dependable winter hardiness. Development typically follows a steady progression from root establishment in the first year, structural shoot build-up in the second, and full ornamental value by the third, supporting long-term planning of capacity and release windows.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright bush with 100–140 cm height and 70–95 cm spread, carrying medium-density dark green foliage and relatively sparse prickles; self-cleaning capacity has not been characterised in available observations. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, solitary, high-centred, pointed-bud blooms of semi-double form with around 13–25 petals; remontant habit with an abundant second flowering period enhancing ornamental and cutting value. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Medium pink with lilac tint; ARS Lp, RHS 65C outer and 62D inner; colour lightens as flowers open, outer petals paler and slightly purplish, later developing a cool lavender veil before fading. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is of rosy character with mild intensity, subtly scented rather than strong; semi-double flower form and reduced stamen accessibility limit pollinator attraction according to the available descriptive data. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally forms small, spherical orange-red hips of about 10–14 mm diameter; hips are not a dominant ornamental feature but may appear sporadically towards the end of the season. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness to approximately -21–-18 °C, classified RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b, suggesting good winter survival in many UK nursery situations. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used in flowerbeds, as a cut-flower capable hybrid tea, or as a specimen; moderate maintenance with occasional plant protection; recommended release as bush-trained with 3–5 canes for premium container production. |
