ROUSEFRËNN – pink bedding floribunda rose – rooted cutting for professional production
compact growth, bedding versatility and floribunda repeat flowering make ROUSEFRËNN a reliable choice for nursery propagation beds and standard container production, particularly where uniform 2–3 L lines are required for retail and reseller channels. The fragrant character, with a strong, long-lasting raspberry-fruity note, supports differentiated, value-added ranges in thematic rose gardens and curated collections. Its clustered large double blooms create a dense ornamental canopy suitable for group planting and edging, while its heat tolerance aligns well with UK public-realm and exposed retail projects in regions where warmer spells and drought periods are increasing. With moderate disease resistance and medium maintenance needs, it fits commercial programmes targeting “reliable garden performance” as a core promise. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a predictable base – root establishment in year one, structural canopy in year two and full ornamental expression from year three – supporting long-term, low-replacement stock building. Its award-winning background underpins credibility for premium silver quality segments and collection plantings, while own-root regeneration and longevity help maintain stable stands and planned capacity over successive production cycles.

Technical cultivar profile
| Name and registration |
Floribunda bedding rose from the Bed rose commercial group; current trade name ROUSEFRËNN Bedding rose Żyła; exhibition category ornamental bed and park rose for group planting. |
| Origin and breeding |
Raised by Stanisław Żyła in Poland, bred in 2014; introduced after 2018, with 2018 registration year; parentage and breeding institution are not provided; initial distribution via Lens Roses, Belgium. |
| Awards and recognition |
Recognised at major European trials: Special Prize at Baden-Baden International Rose Competition 2014 and Merit Award at Le Roeulx Rose Competition 2016, supporting premium positioning and collection appeal. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bush-trained structure, 40–60 cm in height with 50–70 cm spread; dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage; moderately thorny shoots; self-cleaning behaviour not provided, so fading blooms may need periodic grooming. |
| Flower morphology |
Floribunda clusters of large, double, cup-shaped blooms (2.75–3.95 in) with 26–39 petals; remontant habit gives plentiful second flowering; inflorescences are clearly clustered, delivering notable mass-effect in bedding schemes. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Overall pink effect with delicate, translucent surface; ARS code DP, RHS 60C outer and 61B inner; baby-pink, peach-sheened centres fade markedly to cream-ivory, with poor colour retention and strong lightening at full openness. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, long-lasting scent with raspberry and general fruity notes; double flowers with 26–39 petals limit stamen exposure and pollen access, so the cultivar offers only partial pollinator value and is primarily ornamental. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional production of small, spherical hips, approximately 5–8 mm in diameter; hips are red and visually discreet, adding minor seasonal interest without dominating the plant’s overall bedding and container presentation. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate overall disease resistance, with powdery mildew, black spot and rust all rated moderate; hardy to around –15 to –12 °C, corresponding to RHS H6, Swedish Zon 2 and USDA Zone 7b; good heat tolerance, needs irrigation in drought. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Primary uses include flower beds, edging and containers; recommended as a standard container product in 2–3 L pots, with medium maintenance and occasional pest and disease control; own-root NEONATAL cuttings form the professional base material. |
ROUSEFRËNN combines compact, clustered floribunda flowering, strong fragrance and proven awards with the predictability and regeneration of own-root NEONATAL stock, making it a reliable option to discuss capacity and scheduling for your rose range.
