KORCUT 0159

Engineering Approach to Selection: Bush Architecture and Flowering Physiology

The «KORKUT 0159» rose variety from the German house W. Kordessohne Rosenschulen & Kg is a prime example of deliberate genetic breeding, where every parameter—from plant habit to petal structure—is engineered for predictable results in professional floriculture.

The model is based on the 'shrub' (bush rose) growth type. From an agronomic perspective, this provides a significant advantage in managing vegetative mass. The plant height ranges from 120–200 cm, making it suitable not only for decorative purposes but also as an efficient resource for industrial cut flower production. The robust stem structure ensures necessary verticality, reducing the need for elaborate support systems.

Biological Metrics: Resilience and Morphology

• Inflorescence Formation: The double-flowered (highly double) form of the blossom (7–10 cm in size) is achieved through a high petal count, which increases the commercial weight of each cut stem.
• Color Spectrum: The combination of red and yellow pigments ensures high consumer appeal, maintaining color intensity even under varying solar radiation levels.
• Defensive Potential: A critical technical advantage of this variety is its high resistance to common pathogens. The use of Kordes Wilhelm Alexander’s genetic material has minimized the need for intensive fungicidal protection, significantly lowering production costs.

«KORKUT 0159» demonstrates high plasticity across various climatic zones. To achieve maximum productivity, it is recommended to follow fertilization protocols suited for vigorous growth types, as the powerful shrub form requires a consistent supply of micro- and macronutrients during the active budding phase.
