QUEEN OF WARSAW – pink bedding floribunda rose – Rojewski
Professional producers looking to strengthen thematic and collection ranges gain a compact, bushy floribunda in QUEEN OF WARSAW that supports homogeneous, repeatable outputs from own-root propagation. As tray-rooted pharmaROSA NEONATAL material, these 3–6‑month cuttings are easy to integrate into nursery workflows, whether for bed production or container systems targeting 2–3 L as the main route, with scope to step selected batches on into 40–50 litre feature specimens where project briefs demand scale. The semi-double, cup-shaped, pearlescent pink flowers provide a recognisable identity for collection and show-garden concepts, while the bush-trained, compact habit allows dense planting in flowerbeds, parks and urban schemes. Own-root longevity and regenerative capacity help maintain stable, low-replacement stands, valuable for networked nursery supply into UK public-realm and retail channels that face winter-exposed northern sites and require dependable hardiness in colder regions. The strong, spicy fragrance, clustered inflorescences and moderate hip set broaden use beyond typical bedding roles, and over a natural development arc of roots in year one, framework in year two and full ornamental expression in year three, you can plan crop timing, stock-building and release windows with predictable capacity for collection-led wholesale programmes.
