JULIETA – salmon-pink hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Premium own-root JULIETA offers growers a stable, tray-rooted starting point for container production where predictable flower quality and colour uniformity support exclusive, higher-margin ranges. As a bush-trained hybrid tea with 3–5 strong canes and dense, mid-green foliage, it builds a balanced framework efficiently in 5–7 L finishing systems and can be scheduled into more generous 40–50 litre feature specimens for dedicated rose gardens and collection plantings. Its remontant flowering with medium, fresh-fruity fragrance, compact 75–105 cm habit and cluster-flowered, salmon-pink cups align well with premium cut-flower and retail/reseller positioning, while own-root longevity and regenerative growth reduce replacement in long-term nursery beds. Over UK cycles the root system establishes in year one, shoot structure consolidates in year two, and full ornamental expression stabilises from year three for predictable, low-variation batches. Designed for nursery networks needing reliable propagation capacity even where summers bring episodic heat and dry spells with good tolerance of warmth when supported by irrigation, this cultivar underpins exclusive finished product lines and curated collections with homogeneous, salmon-pink presentation backed by pharmaROSA®’s verified authenticity.

| Awards and recognition |
No competition, collector or formal award information is provided; this cultivar is positioned instead on its premium silver internal quality rating and exclusive finished-product focus. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy habit, 75–105 cm high with 50–70 cm spread, dense mid-green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness; bush-trained with 3–5 strong canes, self-cleaning is moderate and some deadheading is advisable. |
| Flower morphology |
Hybrid tea, double-flowered blooms with 26–39 petals, small-sized (0.5–1.5 in), cup-shaped and borne in clusters; remontant with a generous second flowering phase supporting extended ornamental value. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pure, warm salmon-pink with subtle coral undertone; ARS OPk, RHS 38C outer, 36B inner. Buds warm salmon, vivid at full bloom, then softening to pastel salmon-pink with pale cream petal edges as the flowers age. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium-strength, clearly perceptible fresh, fruity fragrance; primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-oriented, as the double flower form limits easy access to stamens and thus reduces pollinator value. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip formation is expected to be limited due to double flowers; where present, hips are ellipsoid, about 8–13 mm in diameter, orange-red (RHS 41A), generally secondary to the cultivar’s cut and ornamental use. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to around –21 to –18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3). Disease resistance is medium overall, with medium powdery mildew resistance but good black spot and rust resistance; heat tolerant with irrigation in dry periods. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended mainly for cut flowers and premium containers; medium maintenance with average disease resistance needing occasional plant protection. Supplied as bush-trained own-root material with 3–5 strong canes for 5–7 L target pots. |
