Red Berlin Hybrid tea rose OLIjplam – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL

Colour consistency, form precision and reliable remontancy make Red Berlin a strong candidate where exclusive, dark-red hybrid tea output is required from a predictable own-root base. The velvety dark-red flowers with high-centred, cut-rose type buds retain their depth of tone with very good colour retention, supporting premium container production and cut-flower oriented lines for retail and reseller channels. Upright, medium-foliaged growth with good self-cleaning simplifies crop management and presentation, while the resilient, H7-rated hardiness and documented resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust support homogeneous, low-replacement nursery stands, including schemes exposed to strong wind and cold in northern regions. Own-root production offers a durable, renewable planting base that fits nursery propagation beds, 5–7 L premium container routes and longer-term stock building, with roots establishing in year one, structural shoots consolidating in year two and full ornamental performance stabilising from year three, ideal for structured programme planning across professional networks.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for retail/reseller	The velvety dark-red, high-centred hybrid tea blooms with very good colour retention translate directly into strong shelf impact in the recommended premium container route. Low maintenance needs and good disease resistance reduce intervention through the crop cycle, helping to deliver uniform batches in 5–7 L pots. Own-root material supports a long-lived, renewable base for repeat listings and exclusive finished product positioning for retail and reseller chains.
Cut-flower oriented garden and patio lines	The solitary, pointed-budded flower form and L-sized blooms echo professional cut-rose types, making this cultivar suitable for garden ranges marketed for home cutting, while still following a premium container path. Its remontant flowering, with abundant second flush, supports repeatable stem production from well-structured 5–7 L plants. Own-root propagation allows stable, regenerating framework plants, underpinning exclusive appearance in specialist retail assortments.
Low-intervention nursery beds and propagation stands	Documented resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, combined with low maintenance requirements, fits production systems seeking to minimise chemical inputs and labour in nursery beds. Bush-trained release with 3–5 framework canes integrates cleanly into bed or container grow-on for stock building. Own-root stands maintain identity and structure over time, supporting exclusive finished product ranges for wholesale-led programmes.
Thematic and collection plantings for dark-red hybrid teas	The deep, uniform, velvety dark-red colour with minimal fading is well suited to thematic rose gardens and cultivar collections where stable colour character is essential. The upright habit and medium-density foliage give a clear, readable plant form in 5–7 L premium containers or in-ground collection blocks. Own-root longevity supports long-term collection maintenance backing curated assortments for public-realm and show-garden suppliers.
Specimen feature plants in larger containers (40–50+ L)	Upright growth to around 80–110 cm, combined with solitary, exhibition-type blooms, scales effectively into 40–50 L and larger containers for statement pieces at key accounts. Good self-cleaning helps maintain presentation without intensive deadheading at retail or project sites. Own-root structure ensures regeneration from the base after pruning, supporting repeat deployment of exclusive feature plants for landscape-focused resellers.
Climatic robustness in colder, exposed production and planting sites	The stated hardiness of -21 – -18 °C (H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b) provides confidence for nurseries serving cooler and more exposed markets, including northern and inland UK zones, where winter resilience and wind exposure are routine. Bush-trained, own-root plants re-sprout from a secure root system, stabilising stand performance across seasons and supporting premium container availability for regional distribution partners.
Consistent quality for branded exclusive lines	The combination of uniform dark-red colour, cut-flower style bud form and stable remontant flowering supports branded, exclusive hybrid tea concepts. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a repeatable genetic base, helping to keep quality and habit consistent across production cycles in the recommended 5–7 L premium route. This underpins long-term brand promises in exclusive finished product ranges for private-label retail concepts.
Planned, multi-year stock development and replacement reduction	Own-root plants build a durable framework, with roots establishing in year one, structural shoots consolidating in year two and ornamental performance stabilising from year three, which supports planned capacity and low replacement in nursery stock. Disease resistance and low maintenance further reduce loss during propagation bed and container phases. This predictability suits integrator systems providing exclusive dark-red hybrid teas to wholesale supply networks.

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Hybrid tea rose cultivar OLIjplam, traded as Red Berlin Hybrid tea rose OLIjplam, with ARS exhibition name Red Berlin; EU plant variety protection since 1997 under CPVO registration number 2280.
Origin and breeding	Bred by Olij Rozen BV in the Netherlands, parentage not provided; breeding date not provided, introduced and registered in 1997, with initial distribution data not provided in the available documentation.
Awards and recognition	Not provided; no competition, collector or lifetime award data supplied, and no external rating information recorded in the current technical documentation for this cultivar.
Growth and structural characteristics	Own-root, upright bush habit to approximately 80–110 cm in height and 55–85 cm spread, with medium-density dark green foliage, densely prickled stems and good self-cleaning as most spent flowers drop naturally.
Flower morphology	Double, high-centred, pointed-budded hybrid tea blooms with 26–39 petals, solitary on the stem and L-sized (around 2.75–3.95 inches), developed primarily with cut-flower style form and exhibition impact in mind.
Colour data and phenology	Deep, uniform, velvety dark-red blooms (ARS dark red; RHS 53B–53A) with very good colour stability, minimal fading and a tendency for the tone to deepen slightly to a matt, burgundy-red appearance as flowers age.
Fragrance and aroma	Tea-scented character with very weak, barely perceptible fragrance; double flowers with 26–39 petals partially cover the stamens, so pollinator value is limited and the cultivar is used mainly for ornamental display.
Hip characteristics	Occasional, ovoid, orange-red hips, approximately 12–18 mm in diameter, may develop; hips are not a primary ornamental feature and typically appear only where spent blooms are not removed during the season.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Hardy to approximately -21 – -18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish zone 3 and USDA zone 6b; noted as resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, supporting relatively low-intervention production regimes.
Horticultural recommendations	Recommended as a cut-flower, flower-bed or specimen plant, with low maintenance requirements and generally minimal intervention; supplied bush-trained with 3–5 strong framework canes for premium container production, ideally 5–7 L.

Red Berlin Hybrid tea rose OLIjplam combines colour-fast, velvety dark-red blooms, strong disease resistance and hardy, own-root reliability to support predictable, long-lived stands; we would be pleased to discuss capacity and scheduling to fit your programmes.
