Matthiola incana , also known as stock flower or stock flower, is one of the most classic and beloved cut flowers in professional horticulture. With its rich clusters of flowers, refined fragrance, and elegant color palette, stock is a staple in luxurious bouquets and arrangements. The Schnitt Rose variety stands out for its soft, romantic pink hue, high uniformity, and exceptional flower quality. This selection was developed specifically for cut flower production and offers growers reliability, beauty, and a high percentage of double flowers.
Double-flowered Matthiola (stock) can be selected from single-flowered plants by exposing seedlings with fully developed cotyledons to 5°C for about 3 to 5 days. At this point, the double-flowered seedlings will show a light green color, while the single-flowered seedlings remain dark green. After removal from the cold treatment, the double-flowered seedlings will appear yellow and chlorotic (light green/yellow due to a lack of chlorophyll) within 1 to 2 days, while the single-flowered seedlings remain firm and green. This cold treatment can be applied only once to selectable Matthiola plugs (young plants).
Matthiola incana Schnitt Rose immediately stands out with its soft, classic pink color. The flowers have a warm, light pink hue that works beautifully in both modern and traditional arrangements. This color is especially appreciated in bridal work, spring and summer bouquets, and exclusive floral creations where subtlety and elegance are key.
The flower clusters are richly filled and carefully constructed, with numerous florets that together create a luxurious appearance. Thanks to its soft pastel shade, Schnitt Rose blends effortlessly with white, cream, lavender, and other pastels, as well as with fresh greenery. This makes the variety an indispensable favorite for florists working with romantic styles and refined color palettes.
One of the most beloved qualities of pansies is their intense and characteristic fragrance. Schnitt Rose also possesses this strong aromatic quality. The sweet, spicy floral scent enhances bouquets and enhances the luxurious appearance of any arrangement. This fragrance quality makes Schnitt Rose particularly suitable for bridal bouquets, interior decorations, hotel and event decorations, and gift bouquets.
For professional cut flower cultivation, the quality of the stems is crucial. Matthiola incana Schnitt Rose is known for its strong, straight stems of a uniform length, usually between 60 and 80 cm. This makes the flowers easy to handle and supports a sleek, professional presentation.
The stems are strong enough to carry the full flower clusters without bending, making the variety particularly suitable for both individual market sales and for high-quality flower arrangements.
Besides its visual appeal and fragrance, Schnitt Rose also boasts a reliable vase life. When harvested and processed correctly, the flowers remain fresh and firm for several days to well over a week. The petals retain their color and texture well, ensuring the flower remains attractive for a long time.
This makes the variety very interesting for florists, exporters and wholesalers who value sustainable quality and minimal loss.

The variety is also known for a high percentage of double flowers—a trait highly valued in professional cut flower cultivation. Double flowers provide greater volume, a more luxurious appearance, and a longer-lasting visual impact.
