INGE KLÄGER – red floribunda bedding rose – rooted cutting for professional propagation
With its bushy habit, dense dark-green foliage and compact 85–115 cm structure, INGE KLÄGER offers nursery operators a predictable bedding floribunda platform for flowerbed, park and urban projects. This own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material is supplied as uniform, tray-rooted cuttings designed for standard-container production in 2–3 L pots, integrating smoothly into large-scale scheduling and logistics. Medium disease resistance with strong tolerance to powdery mildew and black spot supports reliable retail performance and reduces replacement pressure in public green spaces. The non-remontant, once-flowering habit simplifies crop planning and aligns well with seasonal, standard finished-product windows where a single, concentrated display of clear, vivid red colour is valued. Own-root production builds long-term stand stability in propagation beds and stock blocks, underpinning nursery supply for thematic rose collections and bed-rose ranges across the UK’s varied climate zones, including demanding northern and Scottish conditions.
