Moin Moin ® Flower Circus® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Compact own-root Moin Moin ® Flower Circus® offers dense, glossy foliage and a dwarf habit that fits high-density nursery layouts while supporting impulse-focused, patio-oriented ranges. Its remontant clusters provide an instant, long-lasting floral display that aligns well with container and flowerbed programming for UK garden centre and nursery channels. With ADR-level resistance and certified hardiness to H7, it underpins predictable crop quality even where winters are harsh and summers can be variable, supporting public-realm and institutional supply chains in Scotland and northern England with reliable cold performance. The own-root technology delivers long lifespan, stable ornamental value and low replacement in production beds, with a natural development arc from roots in year one to structured shoots in year two and full show-garden impact in year three. Designed as wholesale propagation material, these 3–6-month rooted cuttings integrate easily into compact container–patio finished-product routes, typically aiming at 1.5–2 L pots and, where required, step-up into 40–50 litre units for feature plantings in thematic rose collections. Planned for scalable volume and homogeneous stands, Moin Moin ® helps You maintain professional credibility in cultivar collections while providing a stable base for both retail-driven mini-rose assortments and institutionally specified, colour-consistent plantings.

Data |
| Name and registration |
Miniature, dwarf mini rose in the Flower Circus® collection; registered as KORfloci23, currently marketed as Moin Moin ® Flower Circus® and Pink Flower Circus® in exhibition use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Tim-Hermann Kordes at W. Kordes’ Söhne, Germany, in 1999 from seedling × seedling; registered internationally in 2011 with a later commercial introduction after 2011. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds ADR status since 2015 and has earned a 2nd prize at Bagatelle (Paris) and a Certificate of Merit at the Belfast International Rose Competition, both awarded in 2013. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Forms a compact, dense bush 60–80 cm high and 45–55 cm wide, with glossy, dark-green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning performance has not been formally documented. |
| Flower morphology |
Produces medium-sized, cupped, double blooms with 26–39 petals in clusters; flowers are remontant, providing abundant second flushes and strong overall floribunda-type display in beds and containers. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Displays vivid mid-pink flowers (RHS 55B outer, 55C inner) with minimal fading; buds open from darker mid-pink to uniform mid-pink, then soften gently towards pastel tones while largely retaining clarity. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak and barely perceptible; the cultivar is primarily valued for its ornamental impact and colour stability rather than scent, with no specific cosmetic or fragrance-use data available. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose-hip production is generally low due to double, repeat-flowering blooms; where present, hips are spherical, 8–11 mm across and red, with no significant ornamental or commercial hip value noted. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated H7 and hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4); shows resistance to powdery mildew and rust, with moderate black spot tolerance and good performance under summer heat given watering. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flowerbeds, borders, containers, cut use and urban spaces; low maintenance needs, minimal pruning and feeding, best routed through compact container–patio production with 1.5–2 L target pots. |
