Berill Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Berill delivers premium flower presentation for UK nurseries seeking an exclusive hybrid tea route into high-value, own-root container production. Its bushy, mid-height habit with dense, mid-green foliage supports efficient, repeatable cropping in 5–7 L premium containers, while the XL, double, solitary blooms offer strong retail impact in red–yellow two-tone. As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL tray-rooted cutting, it slots cleanly into nursery propagation beds and container systems, helping you build reliable stock for thematic rose gardens and collection plantings, including schemes exposed to cold, windy winters in northern regions and Scotland. Own-root plants provide long-lived structure, stable identity and low replacement rates, with roots consolidating in year one, shoots building framework in year two and full ornamental value reached in year three, supporting predictable scheduling for retail, reseller and collection-focused projects.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Berill is marketed as Berill Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA®, a hybrid tea rose commercial type within the Hybrid Tea group; exhibition category is unknown and no ARS exhibition name is recorded. |
| Origin and breeding |
The cultivar was discovered in France in 2018, with parentage and breeding institution not provided; it was introduced to the market by PharmaRosa® Ltd. (Hungary), with registration and introduction years not specified. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy habit reaching about 80–105 cm in height and 60–85 cm spread, with dense mid-green, slightly glossy foliage; plants are moderately thorny and have weak self-cleaning, so spent flowers generally require manual removal in production. |
| Flower morphology |
Flowers are XL sized, double-flowered with 26–39 petals, spherical to pompom-shaped, and borne mainly solitary; the variety is remontant, delivering an abundant second flush that supports repeated ornamental performance in season. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Flowers are red-yellow bicolour with fire-red edges and a golden-yellow to orange centre; as blooms age, tones fade toward butter-yellow or cream but the two-colour contrast remains, with ARS code AB and RHS 14C outer and 24D inner references. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Berill has a noticeable, medium-strength fragrance characterised as fresh and fruity; the fully double form limits pollinator access, so it is primarily valued for ornamental and sensory display rather than ecological or nectar-provision functions. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose-hip formation is generally slight due to the double flowers, though occasional small spherical bright-red hips of around 8–12 mm diameter may appear; hips are not a primary ornamental or production feature in standard uses. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C, rated RHS H7 and Swedish zone 3, corresponding to USDA zone 6b; disease resistance is medium overall, with medium tolerance to powdery mildew, resistance to black spot and medium susceptibility to rust. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, cut flower use, specimen and container production with medium maintenance; occasional plant protection is advised, and a premium container route in 5–7 L pots is suggested, using bush-trained plants with 3–5 strong framework canes. |
Berill Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA® offers XL two-tone blooms, remontant flowering and reliable H7 hardiness on a predictable, regenerative own-root base, making it a considered option where you wish to align on long-term capacity and scheduling.
