Sirona Naturosa® VISboprim – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Groundcover performance and floribunda flower power make Sirona Naturosa® VISboprim a pragmatic choice for nursery networks seeking reliable, own-root propagation material for standard containers and uniform 2–3 L ranges. Its remontant flowering, dense foliage and compact, spreading habit support clean, low‑maintenance ground cover and bedding lines that fit retail and reseller expectations for reliable garden performance. Professionally recognised with multiple awards, this cultivar offers resistant foliage and stable structure suited to large‑scale production and public‑realm supply, naturally aligning with conditions where winter and wind tolerance are key in exposed northern projects. As rooted, tray-grown own-root material, it is easy to schedule into propagation beds and container lines, building homogeneous, long‑lived stock with predictable quality across multi‑year cropping cycles.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Sirona Naturosa VISboprim; floribunda shrub bed rose; registered as VISboprim, with Sirona as the approved exhibition name and verified authenticity for professional propagation use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Martin Vissers in Belgium, 2019, with parentage unknown; introduced by Viva International in Belgium in 2019, representing a modern floribunda shrub selection for groundcover and bedding roles. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds multiple medals from Kortrijk, Warsaw, Glasgow and Nyon, plus Bagatelle 1er Prix and Excellence Rose qualification in 2024, indicating strong independent performance evaluations across European trial gardens. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Spreading, compact shrub habit reaching around 85–115 cm in height and width, with dense, mid‑green slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, offering good structural cover in ground beds and borders. |
| Flower morphology |
Single, medium-sized flowers with 5–12 petals, flat in profile and carried in large clusters; remontant, with a generous second flowering that supports extended display windows in professional plantings. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Soft pastel pink blooms, ARS pink; RHS 65C outer and 65D inner, opening light pink and whitening toward the centre, eventually fading to near white with a whitish centre, with relatively weak colour retention under exposure. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable, with no specific scent profile recorded; emphasis is on visual and structural performance rather than aromatic presence in finished plantings or retail assortments. |
| Hip characteristics |
Small, spherical hips of about 4–6 mm, orange-red RHS 40A; data on abundance and reliability of hip set are limited, so hips are considered an incidental rather than primary ornamental feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, suitable for reduced-spray regimes; hardy approximately to −26 to −23 °C (H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4), supporting use in colder UK and European regions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended as low-maintenance ground cover, flower bed, park and border rose; best produced as bush-trained, compact plants via standard container routes, primarily in 2–3 L pots from own-root NEONATAL material. |
Sirona Naturosa VISboprim combines compact spreading groundcover habit, disease resistance and award-tested performance in a predictable own-root form, making it a sound option for long-lived, homogeneous ranges where we can jointly plan capacity and timings.
