Nimet™ Les Provencelles® MASnim – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Grandiflora production of Nimet™ offers professional growers a compact, upright bedding rose with XL, double-flowered exhibition blooms in a distinctive yellow-red colour pattern, well aligned to standard-container retail programmes. On pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own roots, this cultivar provides a predictable base for 2–3 L containers in nursery propagation beds and bench systems, supporting reliable garden-performance positioning for retail and reseller partners. Medium overall disease resistance with strong black-spot tolerance but pronounced powdery-mildew susceptibility calls for planned plant-protection regimes within UK nursery practice. Its moderately dense, mid-green foliage and compact habit help deliver homogeneous benches with limited height variation, simplifying crop timing and batching. Own-root material supports long-term regeneration and stable stands in collection or backup blocks, with year one focused on root establishment, year two on framework shoots, and year three achieving full ornamental value. Hardy to H7/USDA 6b and suited to cooler UK regions with reliable winter performance and wind tolerance, it integrates smoothly into wider Les Provencelles® ranges aimed at thematic or collection-style rose gardens.

Data |
| Name and registration |
Grandiflora bed rose marketed as Nimet™ Les Provencelles® MASnim, ARS exhibition name Nimet, registered cultivar MASnim, positioned as a standard container garden performer for retail channels. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Dominique Massad (Rose Petals, France) from Ruffles Dream® × (Sparkling Ruffles® × Christophe de Combejean®), introduced and ARS-registered in 2012 by Pétales de Roses. |
| Awards and recognition |
Selected as a Rose nouveauté by L’Ami des Jardins (France) in 2012, providing an additional reference point for quality-focused buyers and collection-oriented production programmes. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright shrub reaching about 60–85 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread, with moderately dense, slightly glossy mid-green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning behaviour not provided. |
| Flower morphology |
Very large, double, ruffled cup-shaped blooms (26–39 petals), typically solitary on stems; remontant flowering with an abundant second flush, suitable for exhibition grandiflora and occasional cutting use. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Yellow-red bicolour: golden-yellow base with vermilion-red stripes and spots, shifting to paler butter-yellow and muted brick-red as blooms age; moderate colour retention with a noticeable but decorative fading pattern. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
No noticeable scent; classified as a scentless ornamental variety, prioritising visual impact and flower form rather than fragrance-driven use or sensory marketing in finished-product concepts. |
| Hip characteristics |
Due to fully double flowers, hip set is generally poor; where formed, hips are small, spherical, red, around 10–14 mm in diameter, with limited practical relevance for most commercial production schemes. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium disease resistance overall: very susceptible to powdery mildew, resistant to black spot, medium for rust; hardy to about -21 – -18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), enabling reliable overwintering of stock. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used for flowerbeds, borders and specimen plantings; medium maintenance with planned plant protection, particularly against powdery mildew; released as bush-trained, compact plants for standard-container 2–3 L production. |
