EURIDICE – pink bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Floribunda own-root NEONATAL material of EURIDICE gives you a compact, upright habit and moderately dense, dark green foliage that suits disciplined nursery production and consistent retail-ready bushes. Full, cup-shaped, cluster-flowered blooms in translucent pale pink provide refined colour dynamics from bud to fade, with a strong, sweet-fruity fragrance that supports added-value positioning in curated bed and container ranges. Low maintenance requirements and generally good disease resistance help you maintain homogeneous blocks with limited intervention, while own-root propagation supports long-term stability and predictable regeneration in collection plantings and thematic rose gardens. In typical UK nursery systems this offers reliable performance from North to South, with a noteworthy tolerance of colder, wind-exposed conditions. The recommended route is standard container production in 2–3 L pots and upwards, with scope to step selected batches on into 40–50 litre units for feature specimens, following the natural development arc of roots in year one, structural shoots in year two, and full ornamental value from year three onwards.

not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bush-trained plant with 90–130 cm height and 55–85 cm spread; moderately dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage; sparsely thorned shoots; self-cleaning capacity not provided. |
| Flower morphology |
Full-flowered, 26–39 petals in cup-shaped blooms; medium flower size (1.5–2.75 in) borne in clusters; remontant habit with abundant second flowering, suited to season-long ornamental display. |

| Fragrance and aroma |
Pronounced, strong rose fragrance with sweet, fruity character; double blooms limit pollinator access, so the cultivar is primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-focused, with modest ecological contribution. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set generally limited due to double flowers; occasional small, spherical bright-red hips around 10–14 mm diameter may develop, adding minor seasonal interest where not deadheaded. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Good heat tolerance; drought tolerance not provided; disease profile shows moderate powdery mildew susceptibility and resistance to black spot and rust; hardy to approximately −15 to −12 °C (H6, Swedish zone 2, USDA 7b). |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flowerbed, container and cut-flower use; low maintenance and generally good disease resistance; best produced as compact, bush-trained plants via standard container routes, with 2–3 L target pots recommended. |
