Felina Bedding rose pharmaROSA® – rooted cutting for professional production
Compact and reliably uniform, Felina Bedding rose pharmaROSA® is offered as own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material to support dense, high-colour bedding blocks and collection plantings across retail-led distribution. Its floribunda cluster-flowering habit and remontant second flush make it suitable for standard container routes in 2–3 L, where repetitive flowering and tidy proportions are commercially important. The variety combines hardiness to -26–-23 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 4, USDA 5b) with medium maintenance demand and moderate disease resistance, giving dependable garden performance for reseller channels that expect low returns. The dark, glossy foliage frames the golden-yellow to cream blooms attractively, supporting visual impact in nursery benches and finished retail trolleys, while own-root structure offers long-term, renewable crowns for collection and stock purposes. Working well for nurseries supplying public and private projects in cooler, more exposed regions, it enables stable scheduling from tray-rooted cutting through to finished garden product, following the practical development arc of roots in year one, framework in year two and full ornamental expression in year three, providing a durable base for thematic rose gardens and a reliable contributor within integrated UK nursery supply chains.

| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double-flowered blooms with 26–39 petals, cup-shaped and carried in clusters; remontant with a generous second flowering phase, aligned to its bedding and garden display use as a compact floribunda type. |

| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is described as strong and long-lasting with a sweet, fruity character; the very double bloom form offers limited accessibility for pollinators, with dense petals partially concealing stamens and nectar sources. |

Hip set is generally low due to the double flower form and typical deadheading; where present, hips are small, ovoid, 6–9 mm in diameter and orange-red, mainly of minor ornamental significance in production contexts. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately -26 to -23 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish zone 4 and USDA 5b; disease resistance is moderate for powdery mildew, black spot and rust; heat and drought tolerance is average, requiring watering in prolonged dryness. |
