Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Uniformity and compactness make Tara™ Reka® BOZreka024 an efficient choice for nursery propagation beds and container grow-on where predictable, dense shrub structure is essential for project mass planting. Its landscape character and coverage potential support high-density production for flower bed, park and urban green space schemes, providing reliable bed-rose blocks for project-serving wholesalers. Remontant, cluster-flowered, double blooms deliver repeated colour value in vibrant orange-red tones that fade to pastel pink–orange, allowing You to plan season-long ornamental impact in institutional and public-realm ranges. Own-root, tray-grown propagation material provides a renewable base with long lifespan and stable stands, aligning with UK nursery networks operating under high logistical pressure across regions where reliable winter hardiness is needed despite variable wind and cold. The typical development arc runs from roots in year one through structural shoots in year two to full ornamental value in year three, fitting standard commercial scheduling for landscape planting and contractor-focused offers with high volume and continuity expectations, even where intensive plant protection programmes and regular interventions are already part of established maintenance regimes.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact shrub 35–55 cm in height and spread, dense mid-green slightly glossy foliage, moderately thorny shoots; no specific data available regarding self-cleaning capacity of spent blooms. |
| Flower morphology |
Double flowers with 26–39 petals, large 2.75–3.95 inch blooms carried in clusters, ball to pompon shaped, remontant with abundant second flowering period for extended seasonal display. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vibrant warm orange-red colour, slightly red dominated, ARS orange-red, RHS 40A outer and 40B inner; colour fades to pinkish-orange pastel with gradually lightening margins and centre, retaining good overall colour stability. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very weak rosy fragrance character, subtly scented; double flowers conceal stamens, giving primarily ornamental value with limited interest for pollinators due to reduced accessibility and low pollinator attraction. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose hip set is generally limited by double flowers; when present, produces small spherical orange-red hips around 6–10 mm in diameter, offering minor seasonal interest in late season plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring intensive protection; hardiness rated to approximately -21 to -18 °C, RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA Zone 6b performance indicated. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, parks, urban green spaces and containers; suited to project mass planting via uniform dense bush form in 1.5–2 L pots, but needs high maintenance and regular plant protection interventions. |
