Budatétény – peach-pink hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Budatétény offers a reliable hybrid tea profile for professional propagation, combining exhibition-grade flower quality with a remontant, high-centred cut-rose form that supports premium container production and 5–7 L release formats. Its medium maintenance needs with only occasional plant protection make it practical for nursery networks focused on exclusive finished-product supply, while own-root production stabilises long-term stocks for thematic rose collections and cultivar-focused ranges. Good heat and drought tolerance supports consistent output even in warmer, drier South-East conditions, where dependable flowering and colour retention are critical to uphold retail and reseller confidence. As year one prioritises root establishment, year two delivers framework shoot structure, and year three brings full ornamental value, this cultivar fits smoothly into multi-year planning cycles for professional wholesale partners.

| Flower morphology |
Semi-double blooms with 13–25 petals, solitary on stems, L-sized (approx. 2.75–3.95 in), high-centred with pointed, cut-rose type buds; repeat-flowering with a particularly abundant second flush, suitable for exhibition-style presentation. |
