Mileva™ Frayla® BOZmilefra – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Premium own-root Mileva™ offers a compact, bushy habit ideal for nursery container lines, with strongly fragrant, very double, mid-pink blooms that hold a romantic colour range suited to exclusive, nostalgia-led assortments. As a Romantica shrub in the Frayla® collection, it aligns well with premium container programmes, especially 5–7 L formats targeting retail/reseller channels that emphasise flower quality and form. The repeat-flowering clusters support commercial flowering windows, while the hardy framework (H7, USDA 5b) gives scheduling confidence even for growers supplying cooler UK regions with robust winter and wind tolerance. Own-root production underpins long-term stability in beds and collections, with durable framework canes and a predictable renewal pattern as roots establish in year one, shoots build in year two and full ornamental value follows from year three, supporting sustainable capacity planning and homogeneous premium crop presentation.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Romantica shrub rose marketed as Mileva™ Frayla® BOZmilefra, a nostalgia-type Romantic rose with verified cultivar authenticity and standard-quality rating for professional own-root production. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga, PhenoGeno Roses, Temerin, Serbia; parentage unknown. Registration year 2020, introduced after 2020 via PhenoGeno Roses, bred around 2019 for modern romantic use. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bushy habit reaching 70–90 cm high with 45–60 cm spread, moderately dense medium to dark green slightly glossy foliage and moderate thorniness, weak self-cleaning so spent blooms require manual removal. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, cupped, medium-sized (1.5–2.75 in) flowers with 40+ petals, carried in clusters; repeats well with an abundant second flowering, providing strong ornamental value in premium container and bed uses. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Uniform bright mid-pink with slight raspberry tinge; ARS MP, RHS 62C outer and 62D inner. Buds deep pink, opening to harmonious soft pink with paler centre and fading gently to pale pink with minimal discolouration. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strongly scented with a sweet, fresh fruity fragrance character; primarily ornamental due to very double flowers enclosing stamens, giving high perceived value in fragrance-led premium assortments and display gardens. |
| Hip characteristics |
Very double flowers limit pollination, so hip formation is expected to be low; hips, if present, are not a prominent feature and do not significantly influence production or ornamental use decisions. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to around −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 4, USDA 5b). Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; medium heat and drought tolerance, needs moderate watering and standard plant protection. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, edging and container use, especially premium container routes. Bush-trained with 3–5 strong framework canes, medium maintenance, requiring occasional plant protection and manual deadheading for best effect. |
