Feurio ® Eleganza® KORaplicam – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root propagation material
Floribunda performance, clustered flowering and upright structure make Feurio ® Eleganza® KORaplicam a dependable choice for nursery propagation beds and container grow-on where consistent, exhibition-level blooms are required across larger blocks. As own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, the bush-trained, compact plants support predictable grade-building from 2–3 L standard containers up to 40–50 litre landscape units with stable, repeatable character and low replacement over time. Its remontant flowering delivers an abundant second flush for retail / reseller schedules, while resistant foliage with ADR backing underpins reliable garden performance in professional supply chains that must cope with varied UK conditions, for example where winter and wind tolerance are important in northern projects. Strong colour retention and the vivid orange-pink palette support thematic rose gardens and collection plantings, with cut potential for exhibition tea hybrid use adding portfolio depth. The own-root base allows a steady development arc—roots in year one, framework shoots in year two, then full ornamental value by year three—ideal for integrators and wholesalers building sustainable, long-lived stock and curated ranges with credibility.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Floribunda bed rose marketed as Feurio ® Eleganza® KORaplicam, registered as KORaplicam, in the Eleganza® collection, positioned as flowerbed and floribunda material for border and cut use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Thomas Pröll at W. Kordes’ Söhne, Germany (breeding year 2006), registered 2016 and introduced 2018, with initial distribution by W. Kordes’ Söhne into European professional and hobby markets. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds ADR certification from 2016 plus multiple competition honours including Kortrijk Golden Rose, Le Roeulx Silver Medal and Baden-Baden 2nd Prize in international rose trials between 2015 and 2017. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy plant with dense, glossy dark-green foliage, moderate prickliness, around 85–115 cm high and 50–75 cm spread, offering a compact yet substantial structure suited to borders and containers. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double, cup-shaped flowers with 26–39 petals are borne in clusters, displaying a remontant habit that produces an abundant second flush useful for extended seasonal flowering and sales windows. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vibrant orange-pink blooms; ARS code OR, RHS 34B outer and 34A inner, with very good colour retention, some lightening and shift towards pink tones in strong sun or late in the flowering phase. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is mild with a refreshing, lively character; double, high-centred blooms limit pollinator access, making this cultivar primarily an ornamental choice rather than a pollinator-supporting planting option. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally low because of the full, double blooms and regular deadheading; where present, hips are typically 9–14 mm in diameter and not considered a key ornamental or production feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated H7 with hardiness around –21 to –18 °C (USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), and listed as resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, supporting lower disease pressure in professional production blocks. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended as a border, cut flower and specimen rose in standard container production, targeting 2–3 L pots; maintenance needs are noted as high, with regular plant protection and watering in dry spells advised. |
