Campina Gold – floribunda bedding rose propagation material
Campina Gold offers professional growers a compact, bushy floribunda base that suits bedding and park schemes where uniform structure and reliable golden-yellow colour matter more than top-level disease scores. As own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, these 3–6‑month tray-rooted cuttings support predictable nursery workflows, from standard 2–3 L containers through to 40–50 litre landscape units for public-realm beds and collections. Its dense, glossy foliage and remontant, clustered flowering make it a consistent choice for exhibition-floribunda style plantings in thematic rose gardens and curated ranges, providing a solid propagation base that can be renewed and maintained over years with stable performance in colder UK regions with reliable winter hardiness. The natural development from strong roots in year one, building structural shoots in year two and reaching full ornamental value by year three aligns well with long-term project planning and professional wholesale scheduling.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, upright plants reaching around 75–105 cm high with 45–75 cm spread; dense, glossy, dark green foliage (RHS 137A) and moderate prickliness, forming compact, bush-trained finished bushes. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, flat flowers with approximately 13–25 petals in clustered inflorescences; medium-sized blooms (about 1.5–2.75 inches) and remontant flowering with a notably abundant second flush. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Closed buds deep copper-yellow; newly opened flowers rich golden yellow with coppery edges; full bloom intense golden yellow with delicate orange shading, lightening to buttery yellow under strong sun. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Flowers carry a mild, delicate honeyed scent; not strongly perfumed but noticeable at close range, complementing the bright golden-yellow colour without dominating mixed plantings or display beds. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is limited due to semi-double blooms; where present, ovoid orange-red hips (RHS 37A) of around 6–10 mm diameter may form sporadically and have minimal impact on overall ornamental effect. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring regular plant protection; winter hardy to around −21 to −18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish zone 3 and USDA zone 6b conditions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, parks, specimens, pergolas, fences and pillars; maintenance requirements are high with low disease resistance, so scheduled plant protection and careful site selection are essential. |
