Repubblica Di San Marino – pharmaROSA NEONATAL rooted cutting
Fragrance and colour performance make Repubblica Di San Marino a focused choice for nurseries building an exclusive, premium cut-flower and exhibition portfolio, where flower quality and presentation justify targeted crop protection. As a pharmaROSA NEONATAL own-root start, the cultivar offers a stable, regenerating base: Year 1 establishing roots, Year 2 building shoots, Year 3 showing full ornamental and cutting potential with predictable stem structure. Upright, bush-trained plants with 3–5 framework canes are well suited to 5–7 L premium containers and to integrated nursery systems serving public and private projects where reliable winter performance under colder, wind-exposed British conditions is valued. Remontant, XL blooms with high-centred, pointed buds support cut-rose style production and curated garden collections on a premium, wholesale-ready footing for professional growers seeking long-term own-root stability.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Hybrid tea rose registered as ADAelseize, marketed as Repubblica Di San Marino within the NIRPARFUM collection; exhibition category cut-flower and exhibition tea hybrid, with verified cultivar authenticity. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Michel Adam for NIRP International in France, with breeding completed in 2006 and introduction in 2008; parentage is unknown, but aligned to the NIRPARFUM emphasis on flower form and scent. |
| Awards and recognition |
Recognised at Orléans with an Environmental Award and Silver medal, at Den Haag with a 1st class certificate, and at Genova Euroflora with Scent and Hybrid Tea category prizes, underlining ornamental and fragrance merit. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright hybrid tea bush reaching approximately 85–115 cm in height and 45–65 cm spread, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, suitable for bush training on 3–5 strong framework canes. |
| Flower morphology |
Large XL, double, high-centred, pointed-budded flowers presented mainly solitary on stems; petal count typically 26–39, with remontant behaviour delivering a plentiful second flush after the main flowering period. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Warm golden-yellow base with narrow carmine-red edging, ARS YB; RHS 14B outer and 53C inner, with colour gradually fading to pale yellow and pink-cream margins as blooms open and age on the plant. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, garden-filling scent with a citrus and fruity character, giving high fragrance value; double flowers offer moderate pollinator attraction, with partially accessible stamens limiting but not excluding insect visits. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose hips form sparsely; where present, hips are small, spherical and red, around 8–12 mm in diameter, and are not expected to be a dominant ornamental or production feature for this hybrid tea cultivar. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately −23 to −21 °C (H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6a), but disease resistance is weak, with very high susceptibility to powdery mildew and black spot, and moderate vulnerability to rust under pressure. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used as border, specimen and cut-flower hybrid tea with high inputs; maintenance requirement is high, needing regular plant protection and frequent interventions, ideally in premium container or intensively managed production systems. |
Repubblica Di San Marino combines very strong fragrance, show-grade bicolour blooms and reliable winter hardiness on a predictable, regenerating own-root base, making it a considered choice for exclusive hybrid tea programmes where we can align capacity and scheduling together.
