Promenade® Bedding rose TRAgiheid – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Promenade® is a compact, bushy, patio shrub with dense, glossy foliage and clusters of vivid orange-red flowers, offering a uniform structural base for nursery-scale flowerbed and border production where colour intensity and bed impact matter. As a tray-grown own-root cutting, it integrates smoothly into standard container lines at 2–3 L, supports reliable massing in urban planting schemes and thematic rose collections, and fits programme-based scheduling. Its remontant, abundant second flush provides repeat display for show gardens and public spaces, while the compact 30–50 cm height and 45–75 cm spread give predictable spacing in propagation beds and finished stock. Own-root structure underpins long-term stand stability and regeneration under production loads, aligning with UK nursery systems that must perform consistently even in colder, exposed locations with dependable winter hardiness to safeguard stock.

Fragrance has a classic rosy character with very weak intensity, detectable mainly at close range; not primarily a scent rose but contributes some traditional rose note in plantings. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces small, spherical orange-red hips 6–10 mm in diameter in modest quantities, adding subtle late-season interest without dominating the plant’s bedding and shrub role. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; requires regular plant protection. Winter hardiness rated RHS H7, approximately -26 to -23 °C, corresponding to USDA zone 5b and Swedish zone 4. |
