Dolce Taste of Love® BOZREKA023 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting

Edible Dolce Taste of Love® BOZREKA023 offers a compact, upright shrub habit ideal for bedding production, with abundant, clustered cyclamen-red blooms delivering a consistently attractive display for standard 2–3 L containers. As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root cutting, it provides a stable propagation base for nurseries building thematic rose collections and gastronomy-oriented assortments, supporting reliable crop scheduling and predictable performance. Its edible petals with fresh, fruity fragrance enable value-added culinary and cosmetic directions, while good heat tolerance supports dependable summer colour even in exposed UK sites with higher temperatures and wind. Own-root structure underpins long-term regeneration and reduced replacement in collection or bed plantings, naturally progressing from root establishment in year one, structural framework in year two, to full ornamental and gastronomic value by year three, aligning well with professional wholesale planning.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Edible-rose and gastronomy ranges	The edible medium-sized shrub classification with cyclamen-red, very double, rosette blooms supports differentiated gastronomy and garnish lines from a standard container route. Bush-trained, compact plants finish efficiently in 2–3 L pots for retail or foodservice-focused edible rose concepts. Own-root longevity supports stable sourcing for thematic edible rose gardens and restaurant supply, fitting professional rose production with 1600 cultivars on own roots for nursery-wholesale.
Colour-intensive bedding and edging schemes	The vivid, uniform cyclamen-red flower colour, strong repeat blooming and clustered inflorescences make this cultivar suitable for high-impact flower bed and edging programmes. Standard 2–3 L containers allow quick bench turnover and straightforward integration into existing bedding rose lines. Own-root predictability and medium maintenance needs support reliable garden performance as a core promise in professional finished stock for retail-reseller.
Compact shrub production for 2–3 L programmes	The upright, compact 40–60 cm habit with 40–55 cm spread is well aligned with bush-trained production into standard containers without height control challenges. Moderate foliage density and glossy dark green leaves frame the blooms well in smaller pot sizes. This gives growers a clean, tidy finished product that fits standard finished product positioning in UK shrub and bed rose assortments for garden-centres.
Heat-exposed urban and public projects	Good heat and drought tolerance, combined with H7 hardiness and USDA 6b rating, allow planting in warmer, paved or reflective urban sites, provided irrigation is available in prolonged dry spells. This is advantageous for nursery networks supplying public-realm schemes where reliable garden performance and low replacement underpin contracts. This matches professional rose production needs in Scottish and northern sites with reliable winter hardiness and wind tolerance for public-projects.
Thematic rose and collection plantings	The Taste of Love collection identity, edible rose classification and named meaning (“sweet” in Italian) give curators material for gastronomy- and fragrance-themed rose collections. Own-root propagation material is suitable for cultivar maintenance and gene-bank style stands, supporting long-term identity and regeneration. Bush-trained plants from 2–3 L production can be transplanted on to larger beds or 40–50 L containers for show-garden focal points for show-gardens.
Pollinator-friendly double rose concepts	Although very double, the partially open rosette form with visible stamens and documented bee attraction allows inclusion in pollinator-conscious rose concepts. Growers can position this as a compromise between ornamental density and moderate pollinator value. Integration into standard container programmes ensures efficient throughput, while own-root stands provide long-lived structure for public and private thematic rose gardens for landscape-channels.
Cut-and-use culinary flower supply	The fresh, fruity mild fragrance, stable colour during processing and edible petal use profile support short-chain culinary flower harvesting from nursery or partner sites. Compact, bush-trained plants in 2–3 L or step-up containers can be managed as productive units, with repeat flowering supporting staggered picking. Own-root architecture ensures repeated regeneration after harvest and underpins predictable capacity for foodservice-suppliers.
Private-label premium bed rose lines	Premium gold internal quality rating, reliable garden performance positioning and moderate disease resistance make this cultivar a strong candidate for branded private-label bed rose ranges. The standard container route simplifies SKU standardisation, while own-root material supports homogeneous batches and long-term assortment stability. This fits wholesale-scale, professional propagation supply needs for integrator-systems.
