Lemon Fizz® NektarGarten® KORfizzlem – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Coverage with Lemon Fizz® starts quickly from pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, giving nurseries a predictable upright, bushy shrub that establishes fast in beds and project blocks while supporting supply into landscape-scale mass planting schemes in conditions with good winter resilience and exposure to strong winds; its clustered medium-sized semi-double blooms and dense foliage deliver the uniform, low-edging structure landscape architects specify for parks, edging and project beds, and the own-root platform underpins long-lived, renewable stock for recurring municipal and commercial contracts; by integrating these 3–6‑month tray-rooted cuttings into bed or container lines, You can plan for uniform hedges, low-maintenance bench-ready shrubs in 1.5–2 L, and scalable volumes for project mass planting, with the development arc moving naturally from root build-up in year one to structural shoot formation in year two and full ornamental expression by year three, aligning with professional wholesale scheduling.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Modern shrub (landscape shrub) rose, commercial type landscaping shrub rose, registered as KORfizzlem, marketed as Lemon Fizz® NektarGarten® KORfizzlem, ARS exhibition name Lemon Fizz, bed rose commercial group. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes at W. Kordes’ Söhne from unnamed seedling × unnamed seedling; introduced 2014 in the USA by Newflora LLC, with US Plant Patent PP 24 195 granted in the same year. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds ADR German State-Approved Rose status (2015); awarded American Garden Rose Selections distinction, third prize in Baden-bei-Wien trials and silver medal at the Monza rose trials, confirming landscape and garden merit. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy shrub to around 85–120 cm high with 70–95 cm spread; moderately thorny shoots carry dense, slightly glossy, medium to dark green foliage (RHS N137A), creating a compact, coherent landscape shrub. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, flat blooms with about 13–25 petals, medium size (roughly 1.5–2.75 inches) borne in clusters; the plant is remontant, producing an abundant second flush that sustains ornamental effect in beds and hedging. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vibrant deep yellow flowers (ARS dy; RHS 11A, 12A) with lemon and golden tones; colour holds well with little fading even in strong sun, maintaining a persistent deep yellow display from bud through full bloom. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
No noticeable fragrance; value lies primarily in colour, structure and ecological function, as the open semi-double form with visible stamens enhances pollinator access rather than offering scented appeal. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional small rose hips, spherical and about 5–7 mm in diameter, developing an orange-red tone (RHS 40A); hips are incidental rather than a dominant ornamental feature in most landscape uses. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so regular plant protection is required; however, winter hardiness is strong at approximately −32 to −29 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zon 5, USDA Zone 4b), supporting cold-region use. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Primary uses include flower beds, edging, containers, low hedges, parks and urban green spaces; recommended for project mass planting as a uniform, dense, bush-trained finished product, with high maintenance needs and planned plant protection. |
Lemon Fizz® NektarGarten® KORfizzlem combines rapid, uniform coverage, strong winter hardiness and pollinator-friendly blooms on a predictable own-root platform, making it a reliable choice for long-term landscape projects where You wish to align on capacity and timing.
