CHA-CHA – mauve-brown hybrid tea rose – Teranishi
Premium own-root CHA-CHA propagation material offers an exclusive colour effect for nurseries building distinctive hybrid tea assortments, combining upright habit, medium maintenance management needs and verified cultivar authenticity for predictable grow-on results. As a pharmaROSA NEONATAL tray-grown cutting, it supports efficient scheduling into 5–7 L premium containers and, where required, subsequent 40–50 litre feature specimens for high-impact project supply. Its remontant, cluster-flowered flowering pattern delivers reliable stem production and repeat visual performance aligned to cut-flower and exhibition-leaning retail ranges. Own-root structure provides long-term stability and regeneration capacity, helping maintain homogeneous stands and low replacement in nursery beds and collection plantings, while hardiness to H7 allows confident cropping for UK networks, including exposed northern sites with reliable winter and wind tolerance. From rooted cutting to finished stock, planning around roots in year one, framework shoot build-up in year two and full ornamental value in year three supports structured capacity and release timing for professional wholesale partners.

Bred by Kikuo Teranishi in Japan, breeding year and introduction both recorded as 2008; parentage and initial distributor are not provided, and no formal registration year data are available beyond this. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright bush reaching approximately 120–160 cm in height with a 70–100 cm spread, moderately thorny canes and moderately dense mid-green foliage; self-cleaning behaviour is not documented in the available data. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double flowers with around 26–30 petals, cup-shaped and produced in clusters; remontant habit with an abundant second flowering supports repeated ornamental display under professional production. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Colour shifts from deep plum-mauve buds with coffee-brown hues to smoky purplish-brown outer petals and ochre-yellow-beige inner zones, then fading to sandy beige-grey mauve; overall colour retention is described as moderate. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is mild with a delicate, elegant character; flowers are moderately attractive to pollinators, as the double form reduces access to stamens and limits pollen and nectar availability compared with simpler forms. |
