Adalinalu NIRPORIZON ADAlinalu – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root climber
Climber production with Adalinalu NIRPORIZON ADAlinalu offers nurseries a vertically focused, own-root propagation base that suits pergola and wall plantings, supporting the UK practice of specifying space-defining, collection-worthy roses for public and private projects in cooler, wind-exposed regions where reliable structure and hardiness are valued. Its height range of 220–340 cm with dense, dark green, glossy foliage enables trained, architectural finished forms from a 3–6 month, tray-rooted cutting, typically grown on as a staked, pre-trained climber into 5–7 L containers and, where required, onward to 40–50 L statement units. The flowers, very full and cluster-borne, present a consistent medium pink colour that softens to a pastel tone, aligning with exclusive, vertical feature concepts and thematic rose gardens where uniform display is key. As an own-root form, it delivers renewable growth and long service life under propagation load, supporting predictable scheduling from Year 1 root establishment through Year 2 structural build-up to full ornamental performance from Year 3 in wholesale and project supply.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Large-flowered climbing rose, registered as ADAlinalu, marketed as Adalinalu NIRPORIZON ADAlinalu; ornamental climber for pergolas and walls within the NIRPORIZON collection. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Michel Adam in France (breeding year 2014), parentage unknown; introduced by NIRP International in 2016 for ornamental climbing applications across European markets. |
| Awards and recognition |
Recognised with gold medals at Madrid and Saverne, first prizes at Lyon and Bagatelle, plus SNHF Grand Prix de la Rose honours, underlining ornamental and climbing performance in trials. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Climbing growth habit with 220–340 cm height and 35–65 cm spread; dense, dark green glossy foliage on moderately thorny canes, suited to training on supports for vertical structures. |
| Flower morphology |
Very full, cup-shaped flowers with more than 40 petals, medium-sized (1.5–2.75 in), arranged in clusters; remontant behaviour with a generous second flush enhancing seasonal display. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Dark pink buds open to uniform medium-pink blooms, gently paler at tips, fading to pastel; RHS 65C outer, 65D inner, with moderate colour retention through the life of each flower. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild rosy fragrance with subtle scent intensity; mainly ornamental effect, as very double flowers limit stamen exposure and provide low pollinator attractiveness in landscape use. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally low due to very double flowers, but occasional small spherical orange-red hips, 6–10 mm in diameter, may develop, adding limited seasonal interest. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); highly susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring regular plant protection and monitoring. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used as pergola, fence, wall, post or arch climber; plan for high maintenance and systematic fungicide programmes, and supply as staked, trained 5–7 L climbers for end users. |
Adalinalu NIRPORIZON ADAlinalu combines award-backed pink flowering, strong vertical growth and dense foliage with the predictability and longevity of own-root production, offering nurseries a reliable climber option worth discussing in terms of capacity and scheduling.
