SAUDECI – Byblos hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
fragrance and flower quality define SAUDECI (Byblos) as a distinctive Hybrid Tea for premium container production, combining a rich peach colour range with a high‑centred cut‑rose form that suits exclusive retail assortments. As pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own‑root material, tray‑grown, 3–6‑month cuttings provide a uniform, bush‑trained start with 3–5 strong canes, simplifying propagation bed planning and 5–7 L container scheduling. Dense dark green foliage and a compact, bushy habit support homogeneous benches and visually consistent batches for retail and reseller partners. The very strong, fruity aroma translates into a high perceived value at point of sale, positioning the finished product convincingly in the “exclusive finished product” segment. Robust disease resistance (powdery mildew, black spot, rust) underpins stable quality in nursery and integrator networks, even where spray regimes are restrained and projects demand reliable performance in cooler regions with notable winter and wind exposure, reducing claim rates and after‑sales risk. Own‑root production secures long‑term stability of stands, with predictable regeneration and low replacement in wholesale stock. In typical development, roots establish in Year 1, structural shoots build in Year 2, and full ornamental value is realised from Year 3, giving You a clear planning horizon for series‑based, premium rose ranges.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Hybrid Tea rose, registered as SAUdeci, traded as Saudeci / Byblos within the NIRPARFUM collection; ARS exhibition name Byblos supports clear identification in professional trade. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Bernard Sauvageot at NIRP International S.A., France, with introduction and registration dated to 2017; parentage is not provided, but the line follows NIRP’s cut-flower heritage. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact bushy shrub reaching about 70–95 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickliness that together support stable, well-filled container presentation. |
| Flower morphology |
Double flowers with 26–39 petals, XL size from roughly 3.5 inches upwards, high-centred, pointed-bud form typical of cut roses, borne mostly solitarily to highlight individual bloom quality on each stem. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Soft warm peach base with rosy veil; buds medium peach-pink, deepening centrally when newly open, then fading moderately through rich peach to peach-cream with a slight pink tinge as the flower ages; remontant flowering habit. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, highly noticeable, rich fruity fragrance clearly perceptible at some distance, adding significant sensory value in retail and display contexts where fragrance differentiation is commercially important. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional spherical hips, approximately 10–14 mm diameter, orange-red in colour; ornamental effect is secondary to the primary focus on flower and fragrance quality in finished-product concepts. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated to around –21 to –18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) with documented resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, giving a robust base for nursery production in cooler and more exposed UK and northern European sites. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended as a low-maintenance, disease-resistant variety requiring minimal intervention; supplied bush-trained with 3–5 strong framework canes, best routed via premium container production, typically finishing in 5–7 L pots. |
