Constanze Mozart® Parfuma® KORmaccap – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Fragrance and floribunda performance make Constanze Mozart® Parfuma® (KORmaccap) a convincing own-root propagation choice for nursery and wholesale programmes aiming at reliable, premium bedding and compact container lines. As a bush-trained, upright, compact floribunda with medium maintenance needs and remontant, cluster-flowered rosette blooms, it slots efficiently into standard 2–3 L routes and scalable flowerbed production. The very strongly scented, rich, fruity aroma, pastel pink to ivory colour play and dense mid-green foliage support “reliable garden performance” positioning while offering clear added value for retail and reseller partners. Own-root tray-rooted material underpins long-term stock sustainability and predictable output across UK nursery networks, helping maintain homogeneous blocks, low replacement rates and stable capacity even where winters are cold and wind-exposed in northern regions. Development typically builds from root establishment in year one through structural shoot build-up in year two, reaching full ornamental value from year three onwards, matching planning horizons for thematic rose collections and show-garden style ranges.

| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes at W. Kordes’ Söhne from unnamed seedling × unnamed seedling; registered 2015 with US Plant Patent PP25 688 and introduced commercially after 2015. |
| Awards and recognition |
Decorated in several European rose trials: Silver Medal Premio Roma 2011, 7th Prize Baden bei Wien 2012, Certificate of Merit Belfast Rose Trials 2015, Gold Medal Kortrijk/Courtrai 2015. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy, compact shrub reaching about 70–90 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread, with dense, slightly glossy mid-green foliage and a moderately thorny framework suited to border use. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, rosette-shaped blooms with more than 40 petals, medium-sized clusters on floribunda-style inflorescences; remontant habit with an abundant second flowering phase under good culture. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pale pink, pastel blooms with cream-tinged hues; buds darker, opening to soft pink outer petals and cream-white centre, then fading towards creamy white with a slight, often barely visible, pink tint. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strongly scented variety, with rich, fruity fragrance clearly noticeable around the plant; highly ornamental but with very double flowers that limit nectar and pollen accessibility for insects. |
| Hip characteristics |
Very double flower form results in limited hip set; where present, hips are small, typically up to about 5 mm in diameter, so seed and ornamental hip value are minor in production terms. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, good rust resistance; winter hardiness rated H7, tolerating approximately –26 to –23 °C, suitable for Swedish zone 4 and USDA zone 5b climates. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for borders, containers, edging, park planting and some cut use; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection, favouring standard container production in 2–3 L pots from bush-trained plants. |
