JASMINA ® – pink climbing rose – KORcentex (pharmaROSA® NEONATAL)
Climber production on an own-root platform gives nurseries a stable, long-lived propagation base for trained vertical features, with predictable stands that regenerate well under propagation loads and low replacement over successive cropping cycles; the dense, dark green foliage and medium-height, creeping habit support reliable coverage of arches, fences and walls in UK project contexts where winter and wind exposure are common; strong, intensely fruity fragrance and very full, rosette blooms in mallow-pink to lilac clusters underpin an exclusive, space-defining finished product, especially when supplied as staked, trained climbers in 5–7 L containers; low-maintenance care requirements, with minimal pruning and feeding, align well with public‑realm and institutional plantings, while the ADR-backed disease resistance and proven award record support confident positioning in thematic rose gardens, specialist collections and premium retail/reseller assortments.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Climbing rose cultivar KORcentex, marketed as Jasmina ® Klettermaxe® KORcentex, exhibition category climbing rose for ornamental garden use; ARS exhibition name Jasmina™, feminine given-name cultivar title. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes (W. Kordes’ Söhne, Germany) from unknown seedling × ‘Centenaire de Lourdes’; bred 1996, registered 2004, introduced 2005, developed within modern large-flowered climber breeding work. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds ADR award Germany (2007), plus European competition success: Nantes fragrance award 2007, Lyon 3rd prize 2007, Kortrijk silver medal 2008, Adelaide test certificate 2012, supporting high professional credibility. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Creeping, climbing habit reaching about 220–380 cm in height with 100–200 cm spread, moderately thorny shoots and dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage; self-cleaning weak, so spent blooms often require manual removal. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, very full rosette blooms with 40+ petals, presented mainly in clustered inflorescences; repeat-flowering remontant type with abundant second flush, giving an extended ornamental season on trained climber frameworks. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pink to mallow-lilac blending, ARS PB; RHS 65C outer and 68D inner; buds purple-pink with silvery tips, opening to vivid purplish-pink centres and paler, pastel edges, lightening slightly in strong sun and richer in cooler conditions. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strongly and clearly scented with an intensely fruity character; very double blooms largely conceal stamens, making it primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-oriented, suitable where scent and visual effect are the priorities. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally forms small, spherical red hips approximately 8–13 mm in diameter; hips are not dominant in the overall effect but can add discreet seasonal interest in lower-maintenance or collection plantings when present. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, with RHS H7 hardiness and approximate tolerance to -26 to -23 °C; blooms in warm conditions but needs irrigation in prolonged drought, offering robust performance in temperate zones. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used as a climbing rose for pergolas, arches, fences and walls; maintenance requirements low, with modest feeding and pruning; recommended as a staked, trained climber finished product, typically in 5–7 litre containers. |
