Skóciai Szent Margit – Bedding Floribunda rose (own-root propagation)
Floribunda own-root material for Skóciai Szent Margit offers a compact, upright habit with dense, glossy foliage that translates reliably into retail-ready 2–3 L containers on a standard finished-product path. The warm golden-yellow colour range, from vibrant buds through creamy fade, aligns well with thematic and collection plantings where uniform, bed-format presentation is important. Powerful, long-lasting rose-like fragrance adds specification value for public-realm and show gardens, while remontant, abundant second flush flowering supports predictable bench-turn cycles and seasonal programming. Moderate disease resistance and H6-level winter hardiness to –21– –18 °C suit UK nursery networks supplying sites where winter and wind exposure are significant factors. Own-root production gives a renewable, long-lived base that moves from root establishment in year one through structural shoot build-up in year two to full ornamental expression from year three, supporting sustainable portfolios in professional rose ranges.
