Amourin Climbing rose VISauslen – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Professional own-root Amourin offers a compact, upright climber format that lends itself well to trained, staked production in 5–7 L pots for vertical-feature lines in UK nursery ranges; its vigour is balanced enough for controlled framework development while still building saleable structure within standard cycles, supporting reliable scheduling and low replacement in propagation beds. Semi-double, cluster-flowering blooms with soft, creamy-yellow colour and only gentle fading give consistent ornamental value for finished products aimed at exclusive, space-defining projects; the remontant, generously repeating flowering pattern helps growers deliver longer-season appeal for reseller partners. Moderate disease resistance and H7 hardiness down to –21 °C provide a practical base for production across varied UK regions, including more exposed northern sites where winter and wind can challenge vertical plantings. Own-root longevity supports predictable capacity planning, with roots establishing in year one, stronger framework in year two and full ornamental expression by year three, underpinned by stable identity for thematic and collection plantings. The cultivar’s multiple international show awards can underpin premium positioning in curated climbing assortments and private-label collections focused on vertical garden features. Moderate self-cleaning and decorative hips in autumn provide extended garden interest, aligning with the “vertical garden feature” value promise demanded by retail and landscape-oriented wholesale channels.
