DUCAT™ – yellow flowerbed shrub rose
Choose DUCAT™ if you want an easy, reliable rose that brings sunshine colour and calm structure to a small London front garden or compact family plot. Its single, open blooms glow in a vivid, golden yellow, then soften to buttery tones, creating a gentle, ever-changing display that bees and butterflies can easily reach. The compact, bushy habit and glossy dark foliage stay tidy even in exposed spots, coping well with wind and wet conditions on heavier UK soils and improving drainage in problem clay areas. Repeat flowering from early summer to autumn keeps beds and containers lively with minimal effort, while strong disease resistance reduces the need for sprays or complex care. As an own-root plant it has a long, steady life, quietly rebuilding itself after harsh winters and pruning, with roots establishing in year one, shoots filling in by year two, and full ornamental impact by year three. Ideal for sustainable, rainwater-friendly urban planting, this compact rose works beautifully in large pots of at least 40–50 litres or as a pollinator-friendly border accent, giving lasting garden balance without demanding your weekends.

Mixed bed with perennials and grasses
Clear mid-yellow flowers and dark green glossy foliage contrast beautifully with mauves and silvers, while the compact, bushy frame slots neatly among perennials, giving rhythm and repetition without overwhelming more delicate companions in modest urban borders designer

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Shrub rose from the Mella® collection, registered as BOZducabor and marketed as DUCAT™ Mella®, a yellow flowerbed shrub rose for beds, edging and container use in private gardens.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga at PhenoGeno Roses, with selection and introduction from Temerin and Grubbenvorst; registered in 2016 and commercially introduced in 2020 for wider European gardening.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, bushy shrub reaching around 35–55 cm in height and spread, forming a dense, well-branched dome with moderately thorny stems and healthy, glossy, dark green foliage that maintains a tidy outline.
Flower morphology
Single, flat flowers of medium size borne in clusters, typically 5–12 petals per bloom, with a good repeat-flowering habit and an abundant second flush that extends seasonal floral interest in small garden spaces.
Colour data and phenology
Vibrant, clear golden to mid-yellow flowers with ARS MY and RHS 12A/13A tones; buds open intense yellow, age to buttery yellow yet remain distinctly yellow until petal fall, giving a soft, luminous effect over time.
Fragrance and aroma
Delicately sweet fragrance of very weak strength, generally only noticeable at close quarters, so it contributes gentle scent without overwhelming nearby seating areas or scent-sensitive household members in compact plots.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small spherical hips, around 6–10 mm in diameter, maturing to an orange-red colour; produced sporadically and adding a discreet autumn accent rather than a dominant ornamental feature.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Demonstrates strong resistance to major rose diseases including black spot, powdery mildew and rust, with winter hardiness to approximately −26 to −23 °C, aligning with RHS H7 and USDA Zone 5b for robust performance.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in a sunny position with 35–70 cm spacing depending on use; suitable for beds, hedging, edging and containers, with low maintenance needs and good response to standard pruning and regular mulching in ordinary garden soils.
DUCAT™ offers compact golden colour, repeat flowering and durable own-root reliability, making it a thoughtful choice if you would like an easy-care, long-lived shrub rose for a small contemporary garden.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
