Crème brûlée – hybrid tea rose rooted cutting for professional production
Premium own-root Crème brûlée provides a stable propagation base for nurseries aiming at exclusive hybrid tea ranges with clear exhibition-cut potential and consistent flower form. Bush-trained, 3–5-cane young plants are well suited to 5–7 L premium containers and structured propagation beds where predictable quality, reliable remontant performance and medium maintenance needs support efficient scheduling. The warm cream-yellow to mocha colour progression gives strong differentiation for retailer and reseller programmes, while own-root longevity and regeneration underpin long-term collection and show-garden plantings in UK conditions, including cooler areas with robust winter tolerance in exposed sites. Over a natural development arc from root establishment in year one, to structural shoot build-up in year two and full ornamental expression in year three, this cultivar can anchor sustainable stock planning, homogeneous stands and repeatable premium cut-flower grade output.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright bush 60–85 cm high and 50–70 cm spread, moderately thorny with moderately dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage; partially self-cleaning, some spent blooms shed and others needing manual removal. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, presented mainly solitary on stems; pronounced medium-height flower form with remontant habit and a notably abundant second flush under suitable management. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Warm cream-yellow base with subtle mocha-yellow depth; buds butter to cream yellow, colour fading gradually to pastel cream and pale beige in strong sun, while remaining richer in cooler conditions; ARS/RHS 11C–11D range. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium-strength fragrance with a delicately spicy, fruity character; double flower structure reduces stamen access, so pollinator attraction is limited and it is not specifically described as pollinator-friendly in technical notes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional spherical orange-red hips form, around 8–12 mm in diameter; hips are not a dominant ornamental feature but may appear sporadically after flowering where deadheading is not systematically carried out. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate tolerance to heat and drought, requiring watering in extended dry spells; moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7 and USDA zone 6b, Swedish zone 3. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suitable for flower beds, specimen use, cut flowers and parks; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control; released as bush-trained plants with 3–5 strong canes, ideal for premium container routes in 5–7 litre pots. |
