Caffe Latte™ hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting

Premium own-root Caffe Latte™ offers exclusive flower quality for nursery and wholesale programmes targeting high-margin container production and cut-flower orientated garden ranges. Its remontant flowering and strong, long-lasting fragrance support repeat-value finished products, while the upright, bush-trained habit with 3–5 framework canes suits structured 5–7 L premium containers and specimen positioning. The good heat tolerance performs reliably even in warmer, drier South-East conditions, supporting UK-wide professional supply. Own-root material provides predictable, renewable growth that moves from root establishment to structural shoots and then full ornamental value over three seasons, helping You stabilise capacity and quality in thematic and collection plantings. The cultivar’s colour range from soft mocha-brown to caramel-beige, cluster-flowering habit, resistant foliage profile against key diseases, and cut-flower suitability align well with retail and reseller channels looking for distinctive, story-rich Hybrid Tea roses.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production	The cultivar’s exclusive flower form and colour make it ideal for premium container lines where visual impact and perceived value are critical. Bush-trained pharmaROSA® NEONATAL cuttings with 3–5 canes move efficiently into a 5–7 L premium container route, giving nurseries a clear structure from potting to retail release. Own-root material helps maintain homogeneous stands and reduces replacement in long bench runs, supporting exclusive finished product positioning towards retail and reseller partners serving design-led end users.Retail / reseller
Cut-flower oriented garden SKUs	High-centred, pointed-budded flowers with strong fragrance translate well into “garden for cutting” concepts that bridge ornamental and functional use. Starting from rooted cuttings ensures stable identification and repeatable performance across propagation cycles, while the recommended premium container path allows clear branding as a cut-flower capable garden Hybrid Tea. This supports added-value retail narratives and strengthens Your role as a specialist supplier of differentiated roses to quality-focused reseller networks.Retail / reseller
Specimen plants for thematic rose gardens	The upright growth, 120–160 cm height and distinctive light-brown to caramel bloom tones suit specimen planting in thematic rose collections and show gardens. Using own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material as a propagation base supports long-term collection stability and simplifies cultivar maintenance. Premium container production from 5–7 L upward can be used as a stepping stone to in-ground planting for public-realm or institutional projects that prioritise named cultivars and consistent visual standards.Public-realm suppliers
Border and mixed-planting concepts	Moderately dense, glossy foliage and an upright habit enable structured border plantings where flower colour and fragrance are the main drivers. Starting from uniform tray-rooted cuttings gives You predictable branching and canopy build-up during the grow-on cycle, while the moderate maintenance requirement (mainly powdery mildew monitoring) fits into mainstream nursery care regimes. Positioned as an exclusive border rose, it broadens the offer for resellers looking beyond standard colours in mixed shrub and perennial assortments.Nursery networks
Heat- and sun-exposed show plantings	Good heat tolerance and reliable performance in warm, bright positions support use in exposed show beds and high-profile retail display plantings. In premium containers, the remontant habit with an abundant second flush underlines season-long sales appeal, especially where benches or demonstration borders are in full sun. Own-root robustness reduces risk of failure in these demanding placements, allowing You to maintain neat, sale-ready stock levels despite more stressful microclimates.Garden-centre focused wholesalers
Fragrance-focused rose assortments	The strong, long-lasting vanilla fragrance offers a clear differentiator for fragrance-led ranges and curated scent collections. Growing on from pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material ensures each batch expresses the cultivar’s typical scent while maintaining uniformity of plant size in 5–7 L premium containers. Combined with its exclusive colour, this supports curated bench concepts and specialist “scent garden” lines that enhance the perceived quality of Your rose assortment in premium retail channels.Specialist rose retailers
Own-root stock beds and mother-plant stands	For nurseries wishing to maintain in-house stock of this distinctive cultivar, own-root propagation material offers a stable long-term base with renewable growth and simplified regeneration. Planting into nursery beds or larger field rows allows structured take of semi-woody material, while the moderate maintenance requirement remains manageable under professional plant-protection planning. This supports a reliable internal supply for ongoing premium container and specimen production aimed at exclusive finished product markets.Professional propagators
Larger specimen containers (40–50 L and above)	The 120–160 cm upright habit, strong cane framework and visual flower quality scale well into 40–50 L specimen containers for high-visibility placements. Starting from bush-trained, own-root NEONATAL cuttings allows You to build a durable framework capable of long-term performance, even when subjected to transport and display cycles. This is especially relevant for public-facing installations in warmer, drier South-East conditions where clients expect immediate impact and lasting value from exclusive cultivars.Landscape and project suppliers

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Caffe Latte™ is a Hybrid Tea rose marketed as a hybrid tea rose by De Ruiter, with American Rose Society exhibition name Caffe Latte; registered cultivar name data not provided.
Origin and breeding	Bred and introduced by De Ruiter Innovations B.V. (Amstelveen, Netherlands), with parentage unknown; breeding and introduction in the Netherlands in 2005, distributed initially by De Ruiter Innovations B.V.
Growth and structural characteristics	Upright Hybrid Tea reaching approximately 120–160 cm in height and 55–85 cm spread, moderately thorny, with moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage and weak self-cleaning, requiring removal of spent blooms.
Flower morphology	Large, fully double, 26–39 petalled flowers with high-centred, pointed-budded form on clusters, showing a typical cut-rose style presentation suited to both garden display and cutting-oriented use.
Colour data and phenology	Flowers show warm caramel to light-brown tones shifting from mocha-brown and mauve to beige, with a silky sheen; colour lightens in strong sun from coffee-brown to pastel beige-brown with slightly greyish hues.
Fragrance and aroma	Strong, long-lasting vanilla-scented fragrance defines the cultivar; fully double blooms limit pollinator access, making it primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-oriented in professional planting schemes.
Hip characteristics	Forms small, spherical orange-red hips occasionally, approximately 10–14 mm in diameter, which are generally secondary to the primary ornamental value of the flowers in most production scenarios.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b), with medium overall disease resistance; black spot and rust resistance are rated resistant, while powdery mildew resistance is medium.
Horticultural recommendations	Recommended for borders, cut-flower use and specimen planting; maintenance is moderate with occasional plant protection mainly against powdery mildew, best presented as a premium container product in 5–7 L pots.
