Origami ® Classics MEImozahiq – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Floribunda genetics, bedding versatility and a compact, bushy habit make Origami® MEImozahiq a focused option for nursery and wholesale programmes building reliable, standard-finish floribundas from own-root material. The densely double, cup- and star-shaped flowers offer distinctive cream-red bicolour impact for thematic rose gardens and curated collections, especially where visual effect and cultivar identity matter more than fragrance or pollinator value. With recommended 2–3 L containers as a standard route and bush-trained, compact plants, it integrates efficiently into bench and bed systems geared to continuous volumes for retail and reseller channels. Own-root production supports long-term stand stability and regeneration under repeated cutting-back cycles, contributing to predictable stocking, low replacement and dependable capacity in networks that must service public and institutional plantings where winter and wind exposure are frequent.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Floribunda bedding rose registered as MEImozahiq, marketed as Origami ® Classics MEImozahiq, in the Classics collection, with American Rose Society exhibition name Origami and a bush rose and floribunda exhibition category. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Michèle Meilland Richardier in France in 1999, introduced by Meilland Richardier in 2015, with parentage not provided; represents Meilland International breeding, aligned to modern bedding floribunda requirements. |
| Awards and recognition |
Recognised with Gold Medal and Rose Hills Trophy for best floribunda at the Australian National Rose Trial Garden in 2010, plus a Silver Medal at the Tokyo International Rose & Gardening Show and Pere Dot Award at Saint Feliu de. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, compact growth reaching around 70–90 cm in height and 40–60 cm spread, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning behaviour is not provided and should be assessed under local conditions. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, densely double flowers with more than 40 petals, forming cup-shaped to star-shaped blooms in clusters; remontant with a plentiful second flush, suited to continuous display in beds, borders and containers where repeat flowering is valued. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cream-white base with vivid red edging and ARS code rb, RHS 155D and 46A; colour softens as blooms age, with both red margin and cream ground fading, particularly in strong sun, giving a paler overall appearance at the end of the bloom life. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance data are limited, with available information indicating a very weak, barely noticeable scent; the variety is therefore positioned primarily for ornamental visual effect rather than for scented or fragrance-led applications in garden design. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally limited due to the very double flower form, though occasional small spherical orange-red hips of about 8–12 mm diameter may form; hips are not expected to be a major ornamental or propagation feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated to around -21 to -18 °C with RHS hardiness H7, Swedish Zone 3 and USDA 6b, giving good winter resilience; however, disease resistance is very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring consistent plant protection regimes. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, borders, containers, balconies, terraces and small gardens, including some cut use; maintenance requirements are high owing to disease susceptibility, so regular treatments are advised; release form is bush-trained for standard 2–3 L containers. |
