BUDAI LINA EMLÉKE – pale pink groundcover rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Groundcover production with BUDAI LINA EMLÉKE offers a dense, arching, bushy own-root base that is straightforward to integrate into nursery workflows as tray-grown, 3–6‑month cuttings for 1.5–2 L project formats and uniform, bush-trained finished stock. Its low-maintenance, disease‑resistant foliage and reliable remontant flowering make it a pragmatic choice for project mass-planting pipelines targeting parks and urban green space, where fast, even coverage and consistent pale pink colour impact support landscape-architecture specifications. Own‑root material underpins long‑term stability, predictable regeneration and low replacement rates, ideal for building homogeneous blocks and maintaining cultivar identity in thematic or commemorative rose collections, including public‑realm schemes that face wet, wind‑exposed conditions in Scotland and northern England with dependable winter performance. The compact 30–60 cm height and 60–120 cm spread enable efficient groundcover density in beds and large‑scale modules, supporting private‑label or project lines built on a single commemorative cultivar. Over a natural development arc of roots in year one, strong shoots in year two and full ornamental expression in year three, nurseries can plan capacity and phased release with reduced intervention and simplified maintenance.

| Flower morphology |
Single to lightly double flowers with about 5–12 petals, flat form and small size (around 0.5–1.5 inches), carried in clustered inflorescences; remontant habit with an abundant second flowering period noted. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pale pink blooms, ARS LP; RHS 62C outer, 65D inner; newly opened flowers soft pastel pink, fading towards almost white with pearlescent edging; overall colour retention rated poor as blooms pale significantly before senescence. |

| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to major foliar diseases including powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness approximately –21 to –18 °C with RHS H7 and Swedish Zone 3; USDA Zone 6b; no specific data on heat or drought tolerance. |
