Beverly® Eleganza® – Hybrid Tea rose propagation material (KORpauvio)
Premium own-root Beverly® Eleganza® offers a stable base for wholesale-scale rose ranges where fragrance and flower quality drive value and justify a premium container route; its upright, bushy habit and dense, glossy foliage support homogeneous shrub lines in 5–7 L containers for retail and reseller programmes, while good winter hardiness underpins reliable field or bed production, even in colder UK regions; as an own-root cutting it develops roots in year one, framework shoots in year two and full ornamental value in year three, giving You an asset that can be renewed and held in stock with predictable performance; the strong, exhibition-grade hybrid tea blooms, high-centred form and solitary presentation match “exclusive finished product” positioning for retail / reseller channels, while its very strong citrus scent allows it to anchor thematic rose collections and show gardens; this supports nursery networks supplying institutional and public-realm projects where reliable-quality propagation material, planned at volume with good heat and drought tolerance, is essential for nationwide schemes including more exposed northern sites.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy habit with dense, glossy dark green foliage; height around 100–140 cm, spread 70–110 cm; moderately thorny shoots; spent flowers require manual removal due to poor self-cleaning. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, large-sized blooms (approx. 2.75–3.95 in) with 40+ petals; solitary, high-centred, pointed-budded hybrid tea form; remontant with a generous second flush under suitable management. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pure, even pink without purplish tones; ARS PB, RHS 55C outer and 62D inner; buds deeper vivid pink, ageing through mid-pink to pastel with silvery sheen; colour retention moderate and fading gradual. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, garden-filling scent with perfumed citrus character; highly double, tall cup-shaped flowers limit pollinator access, so primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-supporting in planting schemes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces hips only occasionally and not in large numbers; hips ovoid, orange-red, around 10–14 mm diameter, so seed and hip display value are limited in typical production plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; H7 hardiness, roughly -26–-23 °C, USDA 5b, Swedish Zone 4; good heat tolerance but needs regular watering under prolonged drought for best performance. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, specimen plantings, cut-flower style use and containers; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection; recommended as bush-trained with 3–5 canes, premium container route, 5–7 L target pot. |
