Hippie Fashion® BOZhippfas – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting for professional propagation
Compact and cluster-flowered, Hippie Fashion® BOZhippfas provides a dense, bedding-grade canopy with vivid orange, medium-sized double blooms that repeat strongly, suiting efficient flowerbed and 2–3 L container production. As pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root material, these 3–6‑month tray-rooted cuttings offer a predictable base for nursery networks needing reliable, renewable stock for standard finished-product lines, particularly where reliable winter performance in cooler, wind-exposed regions is expected. The H7 hardiness rating and stable shrub habit support low replacement and homogeneous stands over time, while own-root growth naturally follows a steady Year 1 roots, Year 2 shoots, Year 3 full ornamental value development arc for dependable scheduling and capacity planning in UK-focused bedding and collection programmes.Hardiness underpins long-term use, remontant flowering sustains retail appeal, colour impact strengthens garden-centre ranges, and container versatility aligns well with standard shrub-rose offerings and private-label assortments.Floribunda flowering density and neonatal uniformity together provide a scalable, professional propagation platform.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact shrub habit 40–65 cm high and 50–75 cm spread, moderately thorny, with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage. Self-cleaning intensity and description are not provided in current data. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized double flowers, 1.5–2.75 inches across, with 26–39 petals. Strongly remontant flowering with abundant second flush, carried in cluster-flowered inflorescences of cup to chalice-shaped blooms. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vivid orange base colour with subtle orange-red outer tips and silvery undersides, fading through peachy-rosy tones to cream-grey reverses; colour retention moderate, giving a dynamic but coherent colour display. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Light, delicate, subtly scented rose fragrance, primarily ornamental rather than strongly perfumed. Double, compact blooms limit stamen visibility, offering only weak pollinator attraction compared with simpler-flowered types. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is expected to be poor due to double flowers, but occasional spherical orange-red hips 8–11 mm in diameter may occur; hips are a minor aspect relative to the main ornamental flower display. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately −23 to −21 °C, RHS hardiness H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6a. Disease resistance moderate overall, with moderate susceptibility noted for powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring occasional protection. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flowerbeds, standard container production, balconies, terraces, edging and some cut-flower use. Medium maintenance level with occasional pest and disease control; release as bush-trained, compact shrubs in 2–3 L containers. |
