Christian Tetedoie Les Provençelles® MASchrite – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Crimson blooms with a velvety rosette form and a compact, upright habit make Christian Tetedoie a distinct option for nurseries building thematic or collection-style bed rose ranges on own-root stock. As pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material, tray-rooted cuttings at 3–6 months give You a uniform starting point for standard 2–3 L container production on a bush-trained, compact plant form, well aligned to retail/reseller channels seeking reliable garden performance. The cultivar’s dense, glossy foliage, remontant flowering with abundant second flush, and a mildly sweet fragrance profile support positioning in curated Les Provençelles® assortments for parks, flower beds, and urban green spaces. Own-root production underpins long-term stand stability and predictable renewal capacity, suiting UK nursery networks supplying public-realm and institutional projects, where winter and wind tolerance helps secure landscaped schemes in more exposed northern sites. With its dark-crimson colour that retains depth without browning and manageable finished size, the variety lends itself to homogeneous beds, while the own-root base supports a natural progression from root establishment in year one, structural shoot build-up in year two, and full ornamental effect by year three as production cycles mature. The weak self-cleaning behaviour calls for planned maintenance, but also encourages quality-focused partners to differentiate through higher presentation standards, backed by consistent, verified authenticity and premium quality rating across scalable, predictable volumes.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Christian Tetedoie Les Provençelles® MASchrite, floribunda bed rose; registered as MASchrite, ARS exhibition name Christian Tetedoie, collection Les Provençelles®, shrub rose exhibition category. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Dominique Massad in France (2016); parentage not provided. Introduced in France in 2018 by Pétales de Roses; registration year 2017, breeding and distribution linked to Pépinières & Roseraies du Val de Loire. |
| Awards and recognition |
not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright shrub habit, height approximately 120–160 cm with 60–90 cm spread, dense dark green glossy foliage, moderately thorny stems; weak self-cleaning so spent blooms usually require manual removal. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, rosette-shaped medium-sized flowers (about 1.5–2.75 in), over 40 petals, borne in clusters; remontant with an especially abundant second main flowering period later in the season. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Deep velvety crimson-red with subtle black undertone, ARS code DR, RHS 187A–187B; buds blackish purple; colour holds well without browning, fading slightly purplish yet retaining uniform dark crimson in full bloom. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, softly sweet rose fragrance giving a subtle olfactory accent without dominating planting schemes; double flowers and covered stamens limit pollinator value, so it is primarily ornamental in character. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces small numbers of spherical red hips, around 10–14 mm diameter, adding discrete seasonal interest where flowers are not deadheaded and conditions favour successful pollination and fruit set. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Winter hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b). Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, therefore best suited to regimes with regular plant protection inputs. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, parks, solitary use and urban green spaces. Bush-trained compact release form for standard container (2–3 L) production; high maintenance requirement and planned disease control are essential. |
