Tanelaigib Bedding rose TANelaigib – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Compact habit, floribunda flowering and clustered presentation make Tanelaigib a precise, controllable option for nursery and wholesale rose production focused on standard container routes. As a 3–6‑month pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own‑root cutting, it integrates efficiently into propagation beds and 2–3 L container programmes, supporting reliable scheduling from liner to saleable stock. Medium maintenance needs, remontant repeat flowering and uniform bedding performance suit collection plantings and retail‑orientated bed and border ranges serving public and private projects, while its dense, glossy foliage and stable hardiness profile offer predictable structure under typical UK nursery and landscape conditions, including consistent performance in cooler, more exposed northern sites with good winter and wind tolerance. Own‑root production underpins long‑term, renewable cropping and even stands, with roots building in year one, framework in year two and full ornamental value consolidating from year three, providing a steady base for thematic rose gardens and curated collections where cultivar identity and continuity matter.

Technical cultivar profile
| Property |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Floribunda bed rose registered as TANelaigib, marketed as Tanelaigib Bedding rose TANelaigib with the American Rose Society exhibition name Abigaile, positioned as a shrub/bedding floribunda for professional use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers for Rosen Tantau in Uetersen, Germany, with parentage not provided; introduced and registered in 1988, forming part of the company’s floribunda bedding assortment for nurseries. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bushy habit reaching around 40–55 cm high and 35–50 cm wide, with dense, glossy medium to dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming low, filled bedding structures suitable for bed, border and container use. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, cupped, double flowers with 13–25 petals, carried in clusters on floribunda-type trusses, remontant with a generous second flush; self-cleaning is weak, so spent blooms generally require manual deadheading in production and landscape settings. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Soft, silvery-shimmering white-pink with darker pink edges; buds deep carmine pink with purple overtones, opening to pale centres with magenta edging, then lightening to pastel pink with a pearlescent sheen; colour retention is medium with some fading in strong sun. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, discreet fragrance with a subtle rose character; flowers partially conceal stamens, so pollinator appeal is moderate, reflecting the semi-double to double form that limits stamen accessibility compared with more open-flowered cultivars. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally forms small, spherical, bright red hips approximately 7–10 mm in diameter; hip set is not dominant in overall appearance but may contribute minor seasonal interest where deadheading is reduced in lower-maintenance plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated to approximately -21 to -18 °C with RHS H7 hardiness, suitable for USDA zone 6b and Swedish zone 3; disease profile shows resistant black spot with medium susceptibility to powdery mildew and rust, giving an overall medium resistance level. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used in beds, borders and containers with medium maintenance, including some plant protection and deadheading; recommended as a bush-trained compact plant in standard 2–3 L containers, with pharmaROSA NEONATAL rooted cuttings as the professional starting material. |
