MILLY™ Winterjewel® BOZmillwin – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
For nurseries building reliable white shrub offerings, MILLY™ Winterjewel® BOZmillwin provides compact, bushy structure and dense dark-green foliage in a modern shrub form that fits efficiently into standard-container rose production. The semi-double, cluster-flowered blooms are pure, uniform snow-white with excellent colour retention, staying clean and bright throughout the flowering cycle and supporting predictable, retail-ready presentation. Good natural self-cleaning habit keeps plants visually tidy in beds and containers with only medium maintenance needs, while own-root propagation underpins long-term stand stability and low replacement in nursery propagation beds and wholesale stock lines. Hardy to H7 with zon 4 and USDA 5b performance, it copes reliably with colder, wind-exposed UK regions, supporting projects where dependable, season-long performance is essential. From tray-rooted cuttings into 2–3 L containers and, where required, 40–50 litre landscape formats, it fits thematic and collection planting schemes and aligns with professional rose production workflows structured around year-one roots, year-two framework shoots and year-three full ornamental value.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Modern shrub, commercial flowerbed shrub rose from the Winterjewel® collection; registered as BOZmillwin and marketed as Milly™ Winterjewel® BOZmillwin for standard finished-product use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Biljana Bozanić Tanjga at PhenoGeno Roses, Serbia, from a ‘Pouldiram’ × ‘Adelaide Hoodless’ cross; registered in 2017 and introduced after 2017 via PhenoGeno Roses. |
| Awards and recognition |
Bronze medal in the Plant Novelty Competition at Zieleń to Życie in Warsaw (2014), supporting its suitability as a distinctive, reliable modern shrub for professional ranges and collections. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bushy, spreading plants 40–55 cm high and wide, densely thorned, carrying dense, slightly glossy dark-green foliage that forms a neat, low shrub suitable for bedding, edging and low hedges. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, flat, cluster-flowered medium blooms with 13–25 petals on each truss; remontant habit with a generous second flush provides extended display potential in beds, containers and landscape uses. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pure, uniform snow-white petals (ARS W; RHS NN155D) from bud to full bloom, with excellent colour retention and no pink or greenish tinge; translucent petals and yellow-gold stamens give a fresh, clean presentation. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very weak honey-scented character, barely noticeable under most conditions; fragrance is not the primary selling point, enabling focus on visual performance and structural reliability in professional production. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces moderate numbers of small, spherical orange-red hips around 6–10 mm in diameter, adding some seasonal interest without significantly detracting from the main flowering and bedding effect. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to about −26 to −23 °C with RHS H7, Swedish zon 4 and USDA 5b performance; moderate tolerance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; generally handles heat but needs watering in extended drought. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, edging, containers, low hedges and ground cover; standard container production in 2–3 L pots is recommended, using bush-trained compact plants with medium maintenance inputs and occasional treatments. |
Milly™ Winterjewel® BOZmillwin offers compact, dense structure, clean self-maintaining white blooms and cold-hardy reliability on a predictable, regenerating own-root base, making it a sound choice for aligned capacity planning and detailed schedule discussions.
