MEDITERRANEA™ – salmon-pink-yellow hybrid tea rose - Dot

Premium own-root NEONATAL material of Mediterranea™ gives professional growers a reliable base for exclusive, flower-quality-led assortments, with bush-trained, 3–5 cane structure ideal for a container-driven route into 5–7 L premium pots. The upright, moderately dense habit and mid-green, slightly glossy foliage combine with strong, long-lasting, sweet-fruity fragrance and repeat-flowering, medium, double blooms for a high-value show hybrid tea profile focused on form and colour. Salmon-pink and yellow tones offer distinctive collection appeal for thematic and display plantings, while own-root durability supports low replacement rates and predictable capacity over time. From year 1 rooting through year 2 structural build to full ornamental performance from year 3, the material underpins stable, long-term production, fitting UK nursery and public‑realm supply chains that benefit from reliable performance in cooler regions and exposed, winter-prone sites.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for retail/reseller programmes	Mediterranea™ aligns naturally with a premium container route, with bush-trained NEONATAL plants forming 3–5 strong canes that fill 5–7 L pots efficiently and predictably. This supports exclusive finished-product positioning where flower form and quality are primary value drivers, while own-root material underpins long lifespan and low replacement across multiple production cycles, serving retail and reseller ranges.
Exclusive hybrid tea lines for thematic and show rose gardens	The cultivar’s hybrid tea character with strong, long-lasting sweet-fruity fragrance and show-category suitability makes it a sound choice for thematic rose collections and display gardens. Using bush-trained NEONATAL cuttings into 5–7 L premium containers allows nurseries to offer a finished product clearly differentiated on flower quality and scent, strengthening curated assortments for thematic and show-garden suppliers.
Colour-focused feature plants in premium garden-rose assortments	The salmon-pink to yellow colour play, with creamy fading and orange-centred tones, supports high-impact feature placement in premium assortments where distinctive bloom colour is a key selling point. Container production in 5–7 L, via the recommended premium route, ensures plants reach retail-ready form with 3–5 framework canes, matching the expectations of colour-led retail programmes.
Repeat-flowering lines for longer retail and planting seasons	Repeat and abundant second flowering provide an extended window of ornamental interest, which is valuable for scheduling retail drops and project planting periods. Propagating from uniform NEONATAL stock into 5–7 L containers lets growers programme flushes more evenly, supporting exclusive finished-product offers built on sustained flower quality for seasonal retail planning.
Low-intervention premium roses for supply chains with limited maintenance capacity	Good disease resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, combined with generally low intervention needs, helps growers and downstream clients in project-oriented or dispersed networks reduce crop and landscape maintenance. Premium 5–7 L container production, starting from own-root NEONATAL material, allows robust plants with stable identity for exclusive ranges aimed at public-realm and institutional channels.
Own-root stock blocks for long-term exclusive assortment stability	Own-root Mediterranea™ offers regenerative capacity and stable varietal identity, supporting long-term stock blocks and cultivar maintenance for exclusive lines. Bush-trained structure from NEONATAL units makes it efficient to establish mother or holding beds that underpin a premium container route, ensuring consistent supply for nursery and integrator systems.
Fragrance-led showcase plantings and retail focal points	The strong, long-lasting sweet, fruity fragrance and double, cup to goblet blooms create clear added value where scented roses are highlighted as a category. Growing on from bush-trained NEONATAL cuttings into 5–7 L premium containers enables reliable presentation of this trait in-store or in demonstration beds, supporting fragrance-focused retail concepts.
Cold-tolerant hybrid tea production for northern UK distribution	With H7 hardiness and suitability down to approximately -21 °C, Mediterranea™ fits production for cooler and more exposed parts of the UK where winter and wind pressure are relevant. Own-root NEONATAL plants, grown on via the premium 5–7 L container route, deliver resilient, upright bushes with low intervention needs, matching exclusive, flower-form-led ranges for Scotland and North England supply.

Origin and breeding	Sport of ‘Signora’, bred by Pedro Dot in Spain (1943), introduced 1951; associated with Rosas Dot and first distributed by Hazlewood Bros. Pty. Ltd. in Australia, reflecting Mediterranean selection background.
Awards and recognition	not provided
Growth and structural characteristics	Upright habit, 110–150 cm high and 60–80 cm spread, moderately thorny, with moderately dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage; delivers a balanced bush suitable for premium container and display use.
Flower morphology	Medium-sized, 1.5–2.75 inch, double flowers with 26–39 petals, mainly solitary on stems, cup to goblet-shaped, repeat-flowering with a second flush that is also abundant under suitable culture.

Resistance and winter hardiness	Resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, supporting low-intervention programmes; winter hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b) for reliable cold-season survival.
