Flushing Meadow – hybrid tea rose propagation material for premium exhibition-type production

The hybrid tea rose Flushing Meadow offers tray-grown own-root propagation material designed for reliable nursery workflows, with a focus on flower quality and steady crop planning for premium container routes. Its upright habit, dense foliage and medium maintenance profile support predictable field or container performance for UK nurseries supplying exclusive retail and reseller channels. Medium overall resistance with good tolerance to powdery mildew and black spot helps maintain uniform stands in propagation beds, while own-root longevity and regeneration secure low replacement rates over successive cutting cycles. With remontant flowering and solitary, very double blooms suited to cut flower and exhibition hybrid tea use, this cultivar underpins thematic and collection-type ranges in dedicated rose gardens. Heat tolerance is adequate for most UK production zones, provided regular irrigation is ensured, offering dependable performance in exposed sites where winters are cold and wind-driven conditions test structural stability. Planned across a typical development arc—roots establishing in year one, framework building in year two and full ornamental and cut-flower value consolidating from year three—Flushing Meadow integrates smoothly into high-volume nursery and integrator systems seeking a stable own-root platform for exclusive finished products.


Usage options

Target area Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for exclusive retail The upright habit and compact 70–95 cm height give a balanced, sale-ready form in the recommended 5–7 L premium container route, supporting dense bench spacing and efficient trolley loading. Remontant, solitary exhibition-type blooms secure the “exclusive finished product” positioning by delivering strong flower form and presentation at dispatch, aligned to retail/reseller channels that demand clear hybrid tea identity and cut-flower potential. Own-root material in pharmaROSA NEONATAL format offers predictable crop homogeneity and renewal across planting cycles, matching nursery networks aiming for stable, long-term propagation bases for professional retail supply
Cut-flower oriented garden lines for thematic rose collections Very double, cupped hybrid tea flowers with a mild yet noticeable fragrance deliver a clearly defined cut-flower/exhibition profile that suits thematic rose gardens and collection plantings. Using the 3–6‑month own-root tray cuttings as a professional base, growers can build disciplined bush-trained plants with 3–5 framework canes, ensuring stem length and flower presentation meet premium garden-cut expectations from 5–7 L containers. The cultivar’s remontant habit supports multiple cutting windows, aligning with nurseries and resellers that promote named exhibition hybrid teas as part of curated ranges for collection-focused customers
Front-of-border and edging stock for institutional and public projects The dense mid‑green foliage and moderate height range suit edging and front-garden style plantings in public or institutional schemes where visual structure is important. Own-root longevity and regeneration provide low replacement rates and stable stands, valuable in long-term framework plantings supplied via nursery networks serving public-realm contracts. Medium disease resistance combined with a medium maintenance requirement balances input costs with presentable appearance, delivering predictable quality for project-based wholesale programmes targeting public-realm suppliers
Flower-bed production for display and show gardens Solitary, exhibition-class blooms with striking cream and scarlet bi-colour progression give strong visual impact in formal beds and show gardens. The premium container route allows growers to supply uniform 5–7 L plants that transplant cleanly into display schemes, with own-root structure supporting long-term bed renewal and reduced variability between plants. Medium colour retention and a plentiful second flush ensure sustained ornamental value through the main season, integrating well with wholesale offers for dedicated rose gardens and show collections aimed at specialist display projects
Propagation beds for stable own-root mother-stock Tray-rooted pharmaROSA NEONATAL material provides a uniform starting point for building nursery mother-stock, with dense foliage and upright growth habit accommodating efficient spacing and access for cutting collection. Medium disease resistance, notably to powdery mildew and black spot, helps maintain clean stock blocks, while own-root regeneration ensures long lifespan and predictable cutting yield over years. This combination suits nursery and integrator systems that need continuous, high-volume propagation capacity to support exclusive finished products for wholesale distribution
Retail-focused “exhibition hybrid tea” feature lines The clear positioning as an exhibition hybrid tea with ARS-approved name Flushing Meadow supports credible labelling and marketing for premium retail lines. Solitary, large, very double flowers and soft, sweetish fragrance translate into a strong perceived value in premium 5–7 L bush form, aligning with the “exclusive finished product” promise. Own-root stability ensures consistent performance across batches, simplifying branding and private-label concepts for nurseries and wholesalers that maintain broad cultivar selections for garden-centre partners
Collection-oriented private-label assortments The named connection to New York’s Flushing Meadows–Corona Park, combined with its exhibition hybrid tea status, gives this cultivar narrative value for private-label thematic collections. Using rooted own-root cuttings as a base, growers can standardise framework training and potting schedules, producing a consistent premium-container article across seasons. This supports curated ranges for rose collections and show gardens, particularly in UK regions where cold, exposed winters and strong winds demand structurally reliable, upright bushes for concept-led ranges
Medium-maintenance premium stock for mixed climate retail networks Medium disease resistance, moderate heat tolerance and H7 hardiness allow flexible placement across mixed UK nursery networks, provided regular irrigation and occasional pest and disease control are observed. The own-root format underpins predictable long-term performance, giving nurseries confidence to schedule repeated batches for premium container production without significant loss to vigour over cycles. This balanced profile—neither overly demanding nor entirely low-input—aligns with retail and reseller expectations for exclusive yet manageable hybrid teas aimed at quality-focused outlets

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter Data
Name and registration Hybrid tea rose registered as DORnapa, traded as Flushing Meadow hybrid tea rose. ARS-approved exhibition name Flushing Meadow, positioned as an exclusive, premium bronze rated cultivar for professional use.
Origin and breeding Bred by François Dorieux II at Dorieux Pépinières, France, with unknown parentage. Introduced and registered in 1988 through Pépinières Jacques Briant, forming part of classic French hybrid tea breeding.
Growth and structural characteristics Upright bush habit, 70–95 cm tall with 55–80 cm spread. Dense, slightly glossy mid‑green foliage and moderate prickliness. Self-cleaning is weak, so spent blooms generally require manual removal during maintenance.
Flower morphology Very double, large cupped flowers with more than 40 petals, borne mainly solitary. Remontant flowering with a plentiful second flush, offering sustained ornamental effect and good suitability for exhibition-style cutting.
Colour data and phenology Cream-pink bicolour effect: pale cream inner petals with bright scarlet edges. Buds deep red, shifting to cream; as flowers open, red rims fade to pink and cream warms to buttery yellow, moderating the initial contrast over time.
Fragrance and aroma Mild, soft, sweetish fragrance, noticeable at close range but not overpowering. Very double flower form conceals stamens, making it primarily ornamental and only weakly attractive to pollinators in mixed plantings.
Hip characteristics Produces small, spherical orange-red hips, about 12–18 mm in diameter, generally in modest quantities. Hips can contribute discreet seasonal interest but are not a primary commercial feature of the cultivar.
Resistance and winter hardiness Medium overall disease resistance: resistant to powdery mildew and black spot, medium against rust. Average heat tolerance, requiring irrigation during drought. Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b).
Horticultural recommendations Suited to flower beds, front gardens, edging and cut flowers. Medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control. Recommended as bush-trained with 3–5 strong canes for premium 5–7 L container production and exclusive retail positioning.

Flushing Meadow offers upright, dense-foliaged, exhibition-quality blooms on predictable, regenerating own-root plants, giving nurseries a stable basis for exclusive premium container lines; we would welcome discussing capacity planning and scheduling.
