RÉGEN – pink bedding floribunda rose – Márk
Floribunda production of RÉGEN supports reliable, medium-maintenance bedding lines with remontant, cluster-flowering performance that fits standard container programmes and scalable 2–3 L output. Its own-root technology underpins stable long-term beds, predictable re-growth and low replacement in nursery networks and public-realm supply chains, while the remontant blooming pattern and large semi-double flowers give clear ornamental value for thematic rose gardens and curated collections. Dense, light-green, slightly glossy foliage and an upright, compact habit help generate homogeneous stands for retail and reseller partners. The clear pastel colour range from mid-pink bud to almost white fade supports subtle, collection-style assortments, and its medium, delicate fragrance plus moderate pollinator access provide added narrative value for UK projects where winter-tolerant, wind-resilient plantings are required.
