ROSALYNN CARTER™ – coral-red bedding grandiflora rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL

Grandiflora own‑root propagation of ROSALYNN CARTER™ offers a compact, bushy and upright structure well suited to standard container production for 2–3 L lines destined for retail and reseller channels. The large, XL coral‑red blooms with a warm, spicy fragrance provide clear added value where you need a dual‑purpose cultivar for both bedding and cut flower use, supporting reliable garden performance in thematic rose gardens and collection plantings. Medium maintenance requirements and robust resistance to powdery mildew and black spot make planning easier for nursery networks working to tight spray and labour regimes in climates where winters can be severe and wind exposure is common, supporting efficient wholesale crop scheduling from a tray‑rooted base. The own‑root format develops roots in year one, shoots and framework in year two, and full ornamental expression by year three, giving you a predictable development arc for stock planning and long‑term sustainability.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Bedding rose lines for retail container programmes	The upright, bushy habit with 70–95 cm spread helps generate full, saleable canopies in standard container production, especially 2–3 L pots as recommended. Medium maintenance needs align with standard nursery spray and labour regimes, while own-root stability supports reliable garden performance as a finished bedding grandiflora. This suits coordinated, seasonally timed releases for retail.
Cut-flower capable garden grandiflora blocks	XL, goblet to chalice-shaped flowers on an upright structure allow growers to position ROSALYNN CARTER™ as a dual-purpose bedding and garden cut-flower option. The remontant habit with strong second flush supports repeated cutting cycles from bush-trained plants, particularly when raised in standard containers then field-planted for cut production. This combination underpins a versatile offer for reseller.
Thematic and collection rose gardens	The named grandiflora background from De Ruiter, linked to a historic breeding line, suits dedicated cultivar collections and thematic gardens where identity and continuity matter. Own-root form provides long lifespan and regeneration, lowering replacement in collection beds and supporting reliable garden performance in public or institutional schemes. This is valuable for specification-driven projects.
Municipal and public-realm bedding schemes	Medium disease resistance with listed resistance to powdery mildew and black spot reduces risk in large, homogeneous plantings, while H7 hardiness and USDA 6b tolerance support sites exposed to colder winters and wind. Standard container production into 2–3 L units simplifies logistics for public-realm supply chains that require predictable, uniform consignments for tenders.
Own-root nursery stock beds and mother blocks	Own-root ROSALYNN CARTER™ offers renewable growth and stable identity in nursery stock beds used as a propagation base. Medium vigour and compact, bush-trained form make beds easier to manage, with year-one root establishment and year-two framework setting up consistent cutting wood. This underpins long-term assortment security for nurseries.
2–3 L premium scented colour features	The strong, warm, spicy fragrance combined with bright coral-red colour enables a premium “scented feature” positioning in 2–3 L containers. Remontant flowering with an abundant second flush helps retailers maintain visual impact on benches over a longer window, supporting standard finished product programmes focused on reliable garden performance for garden-centres.
Integrator and network-wide assortment foundations	The standard finished product positioning, medium maintenance requirement and robust core resistances suit integrator systems targeting consistent quality across multiple nursery sites. Own-root stability gives predictable crop behaviour, and the upright, compact architecture fits automated handling of standard containers, helpful where nursery networks must coordinate national, including island, routes for distribution.
Specimen accents in larger feature containers	For higher-impact displays, ROSALYNN CARTER™ can be grown on into 40–50 litre containers as a specimen accent, leveraging its XL blooms, strong fragrance and upright habit to create focal points in show gardens or entrance plantings. Own-root longevity and regenerative capacity support re-use over several seasons, aligning with reliable garden performance promised to specifiers.

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Grandiflora bedding rose from the Bed rose group; registered as Prins Claus, Ruprins and traded as ROSALYNN CARTER™, recognised in exhibition as a grandiflora and cut-flower type.
Origin and breeding	Bred by Gerrit de Ruiter before 1972 in the Netherlands from complex ‘Queen Elizabeth’ and ‘Scania’ lines; introduced in 1978 via Conard-Pyle and Star Roses for international distribution.
Awards and recognition	Not provided
Growth and structural characteristics	Compact, upright, bushy shrub reaching about 85–115 cm high and 70–95 cm wide, with moderately thorny stems and mid-green, slightly glossy foliage of medium density for balanced bedding habit.
Flower morphology	Strongly double, XL-sized goblet to chalice-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne mainly solitary, delivering exhibition-style flowers suitable for bedding display and occasional cutting from bush plants.
Colour data and phenology	Bright coral-red with subtle orange undertone; buds open rich coral-red, then fade through muted coral to brick-red with softer streaking on outer petals, giving a moderate but attractive colour evolution over time.
Fragrance and aroma	Distinctly fragrant flowers with a strong, warm, spicy rose character that reads clearly in garden and container settings, adding an olfactory dimension to visual bedding and collection plantings.
Hip characteristics	Hip set is generally limited by the double flower form; when present, spherical orange-red hips about 10–14 mm in diameter may develop, with restricted ornamental contribution in most production contexts.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Medium overall disease resistance with listed resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, medium rust susceptibility, and winter hardiness to around −21 to −18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7 and Swedish zone 3.
Horticultural recommendations	Suited to flower beds, specimens and cut use; best in standard containers, especially 2–3 L, with medium maintenance and occasional plant protection, ideally produced as bush-trained, compact own-root plants.

ROSALYNN CARTER™ combines compact, bushy structure, XL fragrant coral-red blooms and own-root longevity to deliver predictable, low-replacement stands, making it a sound candidate for aligned capacity planning and schedule discussions.
