Eveline Wild™ Taste of Love® BOZnatafra – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Romantica shrub Eveline Wild™ delivers premium, nostalgia-style flowers with a warm yellow‑pink shade and strong sweet, fruity‑floral fragrance, ideal where finished product identity and petal quality matter. Bush-trained, with 3–5 strong framework canes, it suits a premium container route in 5–7 L pots, supporting exclusive retail positioning focused on flower form and edible-petal presentation. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a stable propagation base for repeated cropping, predictable performance and homogeneous batches, valuable for nursery networks serving thematic rose collections and edible-flower concepts. Over seasons it follows a natural development arc from root establishment, through shoot build-up, to full ornamental expression, while its reliable winter hardiness suits large parts of the UK, including colder northern and inland regions. With good heat and drought tolerance, remontant corymbose flowering and dense, glossy dark foliage, it is a practical choice for growers building premium Romantic rose offers on a sustainable own-root platform.

Eveline Wild™ Taste of Love® BOZnatafra, nostalgia / Romantic rose shrub; registered as BOZnatafra with EU plant variety protection No. 55312, used under verified, premium gold quality identification. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga and Peter Cox at Pheno Geno Roses, Temerin, Serbia; parentage unknown; registration in 2020, commercial introduction after 2020 via Pheno Geno Roses as initial distributor. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy shrub reaching 55–85 cm in height and spread, moderately thorny, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage (RHS 137A); good natural self-cleaning as most spent blooms fall off unaided. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, fully filled rosette flowers with 40+ petals, L-sized (approx. 2.75–3.95 in), borne mainly in corymbose inflorescences; remontant with an abundant second flowering phase under suitable cultivation. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Warm yellowish‑orange with a delicate pinkish hue, clean pastel effect; buds deep peach‑orange, opening to light peach, then soft cream‑peach before fading to creamy peach‑yellow; ARS ab, RHS 23A outer, 23C inner petals. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, well-scented cultivar with a sweet, fruity‑floral character; the very double flower form is primarily ornamental and only weakly attractive to pollinators because the concealed stamens limit access. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose hip formation generally sparse due to very double flowers; when present, spherical, 7–11 mm diameter, orange‑red hips formed occasionally, not typically a dominant ornamental or production feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated to approximately –32 to –29 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 5, USDA 4b); good heat tolerance with irrigation in prolonged drought; moderate overall disease resistance, with good powdery mildew resistance and moderate black spot and rust. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, containers, edging, cut use and edible petals; premium container route with 5–7 L pots recommended; medium maintenance, occasionally requiring disease and pest control; release as bush-trained plants with 3–5 framework canes. |
