Pink Babyflor® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Miniature production on own-root material, Pink Babyflor® offers a reliably compact, dense bush ideal for 1.5–2 L container lines where an instant, high-impact flowerbed or patio result is required. Its very double, small, clustered pink blooms provide a long-lasting display with good colour retention, supporting impulse-focused retail concepts. Medium disease and heat tolerance suit planned regimes in UK nursery systems, while the H7 hardiness rating delivers dependable structure in colder sites, offering confidence even in more exposed Scottish and northern English production areas. The own-root form supports long-term homogeneity in stock blocks, with predictable regrowth under propagation loads, moving from root establishment in year one, to structural canopy in year two, and full ornamental expression from year three in wholesale and retail channels.

not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, dense bush with 50–70 cm height and 40–60 cm spread; moderately thorny shoots and fresh green, slightly glossy foliage, forming a low, even canopy suitable for containers and borders. |
| Flower morphology |
Small S-size (0.5–1.5 in) rosette blooms, very double with 40+ petals; carried in clusters of 6–15 per stem, repeat flowering with an abundant second flush under standard nursery and landscape regimes. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pure mid-pink flowers (RHS 65C outer, 63B inner) opening to uniform pink; moderate fading to pastel tones, slightly quicker in strong sun, but overall good colour retention from bud to petal fall. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
No noticeable fragrance; flowers are primarily ornamental, with moderate pollinator interest due to very double form and reduced stamen access, not targeted as a scented or wildlife specialist cultivar. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces small red, spherical hips 5–7 mm in diameter in low quantities; hips are incidental to its main ornamental use and not a primary feature for most nursery or landscape applications. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7; Swedish zone 3; USDA 6b), tolerates heat with irrigation during prolonged dry periods. |

Suited to flowerbeds, borders, parks, urban green space, groundcover and containers; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control; release as a compact, dense bush patio product. |
