Kosmos® MärchenRosen® KORpriggos – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting

Floribunda production of Kosmos® MärchenRosen® KORpriggos offers professional growers a compact, bushy habit with dense, glossy foliage and reliable, remontant flowering in soft cream-white tones suited to border, edging and container lines. As own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, 3–6‑month tray-rooted cuttings support scalable, predictable nursery workflows, building homogeneous, low‑replacement stands for systematic hedge or bed rose programmes and retail-standard finished product. Its ADR-recognised resistance profile and H7 hardiness contribute to dependable performance in UK nursery networks, including sites exposed to winter and wind in northern regions and Scotland where robust structure is valued. Medium maintenance demand aligns with mainstream garden-centre expectations, while the development from root establishment in year one, strong shoot build-up in year two and full ornamental expression from year three underpins long-term reliability. The standard-container product route with 2–3 L targets fits volume retail / reseller channels looking for consistent, premium quality and a stable own-root base for thematic rose garden and collection concepts within wider wholesale supply.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Standard 2–3 L container production for retail programmes	The compact bushy habit with 60–80 cm height and 40–60 cm spread supports dense canopies and good shelf fill in standard-container lines, while remontant flowering provides colour continuity for garden-centre turns. Using pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root cuttings as the starting base makes it easier to plan homogeneous batches, with predictable crop time towards a standard 2–3 L route and release as a standard finished product focused on reliable garden performance for the retail / reseller channel, supporting professional-growers.
Border and bedding series for collection-style plantings	The floribunda, clustered flowering and MärchenRosen® collection positioning make Kosmos® suitable for thematic rose garden beds and collection plantings where uniform, creamy-white blocks are required. Own-root propagation supports long-lived border lines with stable re-sprouting after pruning, important in public-realm and institutional beds. Aligning 2–3 L standard-container output with reliable garden performance allows nurseries to assemble coherent border series and cultivar collections for retail / reseller partners and public-supply specifications, benefiting nursery-networks.
Edging and low hedge production	The moderate 60–80 cm height and dense, glossy mid-green foliage make Kosmos® a good candidate for edging and low hedges where a compact bush-trained outline is desired. Own-root NEONATAL material helps create even rows with low replacement levels, supporting reliable edging stock over multiple years. A standard-container 2–3 L product with medium maintenance demands fits retailers seeking dependable, easy-to-position hedge units that match the reliable garden performance promise in mainstream retail / reseller assortments, aiding hedge-suppliers.
Container specimen lines for creamy-white feature plants	Large, very double, cupped flowers with a soft warm cream-white and subtle peach-toned centre lend themselves to specimen positioning in containers. Starting from uniform tray-rooted own-root cuttings enables stepped cropping, so 2–3 L standard containers can be synchronised for seasonal peaks. Where required, growers can up-pot selected batches (including 40–50 L final containers) for feature units in show gardens or premium retail displays, all under a standard finished-product label emphasising reliable garden performance for discerning reseller-partners.
Thematic MärchenRosen® and Kordes-branded collections	As a MärchenRosen® floribunda from W. Kordes’ Söhne with ADR and multiple medal recognition, Kosmos® supports branded, story-driven ranges and cultivar collections. NEONATAL own-root material allows nurseries to maintain true-to-name stock and renew blocks with minimal genetic shift, important in long-term thematic rose gardens and curated retail benches. A standard-container, 2–3 L route and standard finished-product positioning translate these collection values into scalable retail / reseller concepts focused on reliable garden performance for collection-specialists.
Public-realm and institutional project supply	The combination of H7 hardiness, Swedish Zone 4 and medium overall disease resistance with rust resistance makes Kosmos® suitable for many UK and Irish project sites, including those with cold, exposed conditions where consistent structure is required through winter and wind. Own-root stands offer regeneration after stress and support low replacement rates, aligning with public-maintenance budgets. Nursery growers can channel 2–3 L standard-container product into framework contracts where a standard finished product and reliable garden performance are essential for public-project-suppliers.
Premium “reliable performance” floribunda bed ranges	Its ADR award and silver/gold medals underpin a reliability message that aligns well with a “proven performance” floribunda series. Using pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root material as the propagation base simplifies volume planning and helps maintain a consistent quality level across large bed-rose runs. With a standard-container 2–3 L target pot and medium maintenance profile, growers can develop a clearly segmented standard finished product tier for retail / reseller customers prioritising reliable garden performance as a purchase criterion for garden-centres.
Private-label own-root rose ranges	As a premium gold-rated cultivar with compact bush-trained form and mild rosy fragrance, Kosmos® can anchor private-label own-root rose ranges aimed at balanced ornamental and maintenance characteristics. NEONATAL tray-rooted cuttings provide the renewable backbone required for long-term own-label continuity, reducing risk around supply interruptions. Routing production through a standard-container 2–3 L format and positioning as a standard finished product with reliable garden performance enables seamless integration into private-label offers for retail / reseller-focused integrators.

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Kosmos® MärchenRosen® KORpriggos is a floribunda bed rose; registered as KORpriggos, with Kosmos as the American Rose Society approved exhibition name and use in shrub and floribunda show classes.
Origin and breeding	Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes at W. Kordes’ Söhne, Germany; breeding completed 1997 with unknown parentage, introduced and registered in 2006 by W. Kordes’ Söhne as a commercial flower bed floribunda.
Awards and recognition	Holds ADR recognition in Germany (2007), plus silver medals at Le Roeulx and Kortrijk (Belgium, 2006) and a gold medal at Hradec (Czech Republic, 2009), supporting its reliability claims.
Growth and structural characteristics	Compact, bushy shrub reaching 60–80 cm in height with 40–60 cm spread, moderately thorny shoots and dense, glossy, mid-green foliage, forming well-filled, regular plants suited to border, edging and container roles.
Flower morphology	Produces large, 2.75–3.95 inch, very double, cupped flowers with over 40 petals in clustered inflorescences; remontant habit ensures an abundant second flush, supporting long ornamental periods in production and garden use.
Colour data and phenology	Colour ranges from pale butter-yellow buds with a light peach-pink veil to soft warm cream-white blooms with a subtle peach centre; ARS code W, RHS 158C outer and 28D inner, with good colour retention and gentle lightening on opening.
Fragrance and aroma	Exhibits a mild rosy fragrance of subtle strength, adding refinement without overwhelming retail environments; very double flowers enclose stamens, so pollinator value is low and the cultivar functions mainly as an ornamental feature.
Hip characteristics	Occasionally produces small, spherical orange-red hips approximately 10–14 mm in diameter, adding limited seasonal interest; hip production is irregular and not a primary commercial feature in most production systems.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Rated to approximately –26 to –23 °C with RHS H7, Swedish Zone 4 and USDA Zone 5b hardiness; shows medium resistance to powdery mildew and black spot and resistant behaviour to rust, aligning with moderate maintenance requirements.
Horticultural recommendations	Recommended for borders, edging, hedges, containers and specimen use; standard container product path with 2–3 L target pots, bush-trained compact form and medium maintenance level requiring occasional pest and disease interventions.
