Seyfert – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting for premium hybrid tea production
Premium own-root Seyfert propagation material provides a stable, upright hybrid tea shrub with dense, glossy foliage and sparse thorns that suits disciplined nursery bed and container production, while the strong, long-lasting fragrance and XL double blooms support an exclusive finished-product positioning. Remontant flowering with a generous second flush allows You to build high-value, repeat-bloom offers for retail and reseller partners who prioritise flower quality and form. Medium maintenance needs and H7 winter hardiness help reduce replacement risk in UK nursery and public-realm supply chains, also supporting coordinated, nationwide distribution in exposed and colder areas. Colour stability is very good, with pastel pink, cup-shaped flowers retaining a refined, uniform appearance that fits thematic and collection-style rose ranges. As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL tray-grown cutting, Seyfert integrates cleanly into premium 5–7 L container routes, and its own-root form underpins long-lived, regenerating shrubs suitable for structured collection or show-garden projects. Over a natural development arc from root establishment in year one, strong structural shoots in year two, and full ornamental value from year three, it can serve as a reliable foundation for private-label and branded ranges, while the modest hip set maintains visual uniformity across production blocks.

Technical cultivar profile
| Name and registration |
Hybrid tea rose Seyfert, registered as TANanilov, commercial hybrid tea type with ARS exhibition name Violina®; part of the Hybrid tea rose commercial group, authenticated and tracked under item [104] 20-689. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Hans Jürgen Evers (Rosen Tantau KG, Uetersen, Germany) from RT 82-310 × RT 85-07; bred in 1990, registered 1997 with German protection application, introduced 1998 in Germany by Rosen Tantau. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy shrub reaching approximately 140–180 cm in height with a 95–125 cm spread; dense, dark green glossy foliage and relatively sparse prickles support manageable handling and presentable structure in production. |
| Flower morphology |
XL solitary, cup-shaped double blooms with 26–39 petals, repeating well with a plentiful second flowering; classic hybrid tea exhibition profile designed to show individual flowers cleanly on an upright bush framework. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Base pastel pink with slightly deeper edges; mid-pink buds darken at the tip, then open to silk-sheen pink before fading gently to pastel with silvery flashes; colour retention is very good, giving uniform light pink at full bloom. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, long-lasting sweet, fruity scent characteristic of scented hybrid teas; double flower form limits pollinator access, making it a decorative and sensory feature rose rather than a pollinator-support choice in most schemes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces hips only in small quantities; spherical orange-red fruits approximately 8–12 mm in diameter that usually remain visually unobtrusive within the overall flowering and foliage display of the plant. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium overall disease resistance with moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness rated H7, roughly down to −21 to −18 °C, corresponding to Swedish Zone 3 and USDA Zone 6b conditions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for premium-container production with bush training to 3–5 strong framework canes; medium maintenance and occasional plant protection are advised, with NEONATAL own-root material supporting stable, long-term stands. |
Seyfert offers tall, upright, pastel pink, strongly fragrant hybrid tea blooms on regenerating own-root shrubs that support homogeneous, long-lived premium container stock; please contact us to coordinate volumes, scheduling and integration into your offer.
