JOLANDIA – light yellow bedding floribunda rose – VISilost
Jolandia offers a compact, upright shrub rose structure that suits bedding and border programmes where predictable, medium-maintenance performance is essential for UK nursery and public-realm supply. As a floribunda on its own roots, it builds durable, renewable wood that underpins long-term stock plants and repeatable finished-product lines, supporting homogeneous stands and low replacement in integrator and nursery network systems. The light-yellow, very double, cluster-flowered blooms with a strong, fruity fragrance fit thematic and collection planting, especially where curated colour harmonies and sensory value are required. Tray-rooted pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material slots easily into standard-container production (2–3 L) or onward build-up into 40–50 L landscape units, while its good heat and moderate drought tolerance supports nationwide scheduling in a climate where variable summers and regional dry spells are increasingly common. You can plan Jolandia confidently along a natural development arc—roots consolidating in year one, structural shoots forming in year two, and full ornamental value stabilising from year three—providing a stable basis for reliable garden performance and collection-grade plantings. Own-root propagation ensures cultivar-true regeneration, long lifespan and predictable output, aligning with professional wholesale and public-realm project demands.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright, bushy shrub habit reaching about 55–75 cm high with 40–60 cm spread, mid-green slightly glossy dense foliage and moderate thorniness, supplied as bush-trained own-root material. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, medium-sized cluster-flowered blooms with more than 40 petals, cup-shaped form and remontant character, providing an abundant second flowering flush under suitable culture. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Light yellow overall tone; buds creamy white with lemon flush, opening pastel yellow with creamy-white edging, ageing toward almost white edges and pale cream-yellow centres before fading. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, long-lasting scent described as deeply sweet and fruity; very double flowers largely enclose the stamens, so the variety is primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-orientated. |

Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C, rated RHS H7, USDA Zone 6b and Swedish Zone 3; disease resistance is moderate to powdery mildew, black spot and rust under normal management. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best for flowerbed, border, park and urban green space use; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control, suited to standard-container production from own-root NEONATAL cuttings. |
