Neue Revue® hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Exhibition performance, premium flower form and colour stability make Neue Revue® a compelling hybrid tea choice where cut-flower and specimen quality are central to an exclusive finished range. This own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material supports predictable bush-trained development with 3–5 framework canes for a container-led route into 5–7 L premium production, fitting nursery workflows geared to high-end retail and reseller partners. In UK nursery conditions it offers reliable performance even in cooler, more exposed northern sites with winter and wind tolerance built into the background genetics. Remontant flowering with good-sized, double blooms helps underpin a cut-flower and border-led assortment, while ADR recognition adds historic professional credibility. Own-root structure offers regenerative longevity and stable stand behaviour over successive cropping cycles, aligning well with planned capacity for thematic rose garden and collection projects.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Hybrid tea rose, commercial type and group hybrid tea; registered as KORrev, traded as Neue Revue® Hybrid tea rose KORrev, with ARS exhibition name Neue Revue. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Reimer Kordes, W. Kordes’ Söhne, Germany, from ‘Colour Wonder’ × unknown; breeding and registration dated 1962, introduced commercially by Kordes in 1969. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds ADR (Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung) recognition from 1969, indicating historically proven ornamental and garden value under German trial conditions for this hybrid tea type. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright hybrid tea bush to around 60–85 cm high and 35–50 cm spread, with dense mid-green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning is poor so spent blooms require manual removal. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double flowers with 26–39 petals, cup to goblet shaped, borne mainly solitary on stems; remontant with a notably abundant second flush, supporting repeated ornamental display and cutting use. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Bicolour red-white flowers: scarlet red outer petal margins, cream-white inner surfaces; RHS 46B outer, 158C inner; colour is generally long-lasting, with subtle deepening or lightening depending on age and summer heat. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium-strength, noticeable fragrance with a classic rose character; double flower form means visual impact is primary, but there is sufficient scent for cut-flower and specimen uses where perfume adds perceived quality. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is typically limited due to the very double flowers; where produced, hips are small, spherical, orange-red, around 10–14 mm diameter, and of minor commercial relevance under standard deadheading regimes. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium overall disease resistance with moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; winter hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish zone 3 and USDA zone 6b. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to borders, cut-flower use and specimen planting; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control; best produced as bush-trained, 3–5 cane plants on a premium container route, target pot 5–7 litres. |
