TANGER™ – pink-yellow hybrid tea rose - Dot
Professional growers looking to extend premium cut rose programmes can rely on TANGER™ as own-root propagation material that consistently delivers high flower quality, very full chalice-shaped blooms and classic exhibition-type form on compact, upright plants suited to 5–7 L premium containers. As a remontant hybrid tea bred for border and cut flower use, it offers a repeat flush of solitary, medium-sized stems well aligned to “exclusive finished product” positioning, particularly for retail and reseller partners building themed or collector-style rose ranges. The own-root base supports long-term, renewable stands with predictable framework development and homogeneous batches for nursery beds or container blocks, helping to stabilise capacity planning over the familiar development arc of roots in year one, structural shoots in year two and full ornamental performance from year three, while coping reliably with winter and wind in cooler, exposed parts of the UK market and integrating efficiently into coordinated nursery network logistics.
