ROZÁLIA – orange climbing rose – Márk
Rozália offers a distinctive vertical presence for professional programmes seeking reliable own-root climbers that fit trained, staked production for 5–7 L routes and beyond. As an own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL starter, it provides a stable, regenerative base for long-term pergola, arch and fence plantings where homogeneous stands and predictable replacement capacity matter. Its rich, strong fragrance, very double, cupped flowers and vibrant mid-orange colour that softens to pinkish tones support “exclusive, space-defining – specialty” positioning in thematic rose gardens and collection projects. Good heat and drought tolerance supports dependable presentation even in warmer UK sites, while a robust H7 hardiness rating underpins planning for Scotland and North England as a winter- and wind-resilient option. Medium maintenance and disease resistance remain workable within professional spray and inspection schedules, and the climbing vigour (up to 3.6 m) lends itself to trained finished stock with 3–5 main canes. From rooted cutting to wholesale-ready climber, Rozália aligns well with tray-based storage, staged grow-on, and the typical development arc of roots consolidating in year one, structural shoots in year two and full ornamental value from year three.

| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Márk Gergely at the Horticultural Research Institute, Budatétény, Hungary, from ‘Kõrösi Csoma Sándor emléke’ × ‘Sutter’s Gold (Cl)’; introduced by PharmaRosa® Ltd. in 1998; breeding year listed as Hungary, 2000. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Climbing rose with 240–360 cm height and 120–200 cm spread; moderately dense, slightly glossy light green foliage; moderately thorny canes; growth habit suited to training on arbours, pergolas, arches, fences and similar structures. |
| Flower morphology |
Large cupped blooms, 2.75–3.95 in diameter, very double with 40+ petals; solitary presentation on the shoots; remontant with a plentiful second flush, giving an extended ornamental window under appropriate management. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vibrant mid-orange with a peachy undertone; buds deep orange-red; newly opened flowers rich orange with peach-pink blush; colour lightens to pastel pinkish-orange then pinkish tones; RHS 36A outer, 36C inner; good colour retention noted. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, clearly perceptible rose fragrance with a rich, aromatic character; double, full blooms enclose stamens, limiting pollinator access, so the variety performs primarily as an ornamental rather than a pollinator-support planting. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional orange-red, egg-shaped hips produced; approximately 8–12 mm diameter, ovoid form; hips are a secondary ornamental feature and not a primary driver of use in professional planting schemes. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Good tolerance of heat and moderate drought; disease resistance rated medium for powdery mildew, black spot and rust; winter hardiness -21 to -18 °C, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b, suitable for a wide range of UK climates. |
