Product route and product system: NEONATAL → target product
The same stable starting point, several technology routes – matched to your target market and capacity
PharmaRosa® NEONATAL is not “one product among many”, but the standardised starting point of the own-root product family. Your decision consists of two elements: which technology route you use for finishing (polytunnel / cold house / outdoor container / field), and which target product you want to produce from it.
Quick summary Product route (overview) Technology routes Target products and product types Recommendations by customer segment Decision checklist Next step
In short – the essence of the NEONATAL product route
- Starting point: own-root, rooted rose cuttings in trays (NEONATAL) for finishing.
- Selectable routes: A) polytunnel, lightly heated; B) cold forcing/cold house; C) outdoor container; D) field production; E) rosehip plantation.
- Goal: finished product tailored to your market (container) or a field-grown batch for nursery/production use.
- Standardisation: a unified starting material makes it easier to build batch uniformity and a defined sales window.
- Own-root advantage: more stable finishing results, lower losses.

Product route (overview): one starting point, several end-products
1) NEONATAL – standardised starting material
- own-root, rooted rose cuttings in trays at a uniform stage of development,
- batch-manageable logic (with variety-level minimums),
- scheduled production and collection by pre-order.
2) Finishing – choosing the technology route
- the route defines cycle length, energy demand, sales window and on-bench appearance,
- common principle on every route: disciplined climate and irrigation routines, plus logistics quality.
3) Target product – finishing matched to your market
- finished container product (2, 3, 6 or 12 L) or robust outdoor stock,
- for field production: nursery or production batch,
- special objective: rosehip plantation from vegetative, true-to-variety starting material.
Technology routes – when should you choose which one?
| Route | Main objective | Typical advantage | When is it ideal? |
| A) Polytunnel, lightly heated | Faster cycle, early market | Speed and schedulability, batch-based despatch | When you target early season, fast turnover and a uniform on-bench appearance. |
| B) Cold forcing / cold house | Compact, hardened plant | Lower energy demand, stable quality | When you prefer a more natural rhythm and a predictable spring sales window. |
| C) Outdoor container production | Robust, tough stock | Hardiness, planting stress tolerance | When you work for the main season or outdoor retail/landscaping projects. |
| D) Field production | Production batch, nursery block | Mechanisation, high volume | When the aim is bare-root lifting or a production cycle in the field. |
| E) Rosehip plantation | Phenological uniformity, yield security | Clonal advantage: narrower ripening window | When the target is industrial/production rosehip with a schedulable harvest. |

Target products and product-type logic (from a B2B perspective)
When choosing the target product, you need to consider market expectations (on-bench appearance, delivery deadline), maintenance/aftercare risk and technology capacity at the same time. The same variety, in a different product type, can fit a different project situation.
Container target product (guideline)
- 2 L (quick, solid on-bench start): price–value, short cycle, high turnover.
- 3 L (fuller appearance, more stable despatch): stronger bush shape, better visual uniformity.
- 6 L (premium, strong instant effect): for prominent locations, high despatch quality.
- 12 L (project and municipal focus): for key sites and prestige handovers.

By customer segment: which product route fits your capacity?
1) Finishing nurseries
- Typical objective: stable despatch in batches, supplier-grade quality.
- Common routes: A) polytunnel (early/scheduled) + B) cold house (stable spring window) + C) outdoor (robust).
- Own-root advantage: more uniform start and structure building, fewer risk points in the technology.
2) Integrators / project suppliers
- Typical objective: stock that can be despatched on time, in uniform batches.
- Common routes: A) polytunnel (timing + uniformity) or B) cold house (reduced risk, compact).
- Own-root advantage: more stable regeneration and lower loss risk across the whole chain.
3) Garden centres / offline retail
- Typical objective: continuous assortment and on-bench appearance throughout the season.
- Common routes: A) polytunnel (early offer) + B) cold house (stable spring peak) + C) outdoor (main season).
- Own-root advantage: fewer after-sales problems and returns, more stable consumer experience.
4) Outdoor/field growers
- Typical objective: production growing, mechanisable layout, robust stock.
- Common routes: D) field production, and C) outdoor.
- Own-root advantage: simpler structure building, no budding union → more stable production flow and risk reduction.
5) Breeders / variety maintenance
- Typical objective: true-to-variety, vegetative starting material, variety maintenance manageable in batches.
- Common route: small batches tailored to the objective, with documentable batch handling.
- Own-root advantage: variety maintenance and traceability from one genetic system.
Decision checklist – 7 questions that close the choice of product route
- What is the target product? (2 L / 3 L / 6 L / 12 L / field batch / rosehip)
- Which is more critical? fast cycle or lower energy demand (compact, hardened plant)?
- What is your capacity? polytunnel/cold house/outdoor area, irrigation system, labour.
- What is the main risk? humidity/Botrytis, stretching, irrigation, logistics, timing.
- What is the variety range and volume? (MOQ, number of batches, scheduling)
- Which sales window do you need? (one large batch at once or continuous supply)
- What is the quality criterion at despatch? (on-bench appearance, uniformity, “ship dry”)

Next step
- Choose one technology route (A–D) and define the target product.
- Specify your variety range and quantities (considering MOQ).
- Request a proposal for a batch plan and scheduling, or start with a trial order.

- Choosing the technology route (A–D) for your target market and deadlines
- Target product and on-bench appearance: 2 / 3 / 6 / 12 L logic
- Batch planning: continuous despatch vs single large batch
- Quality criteria: uniformity, structure building, “ship dry”
