Anna Mège™ Les Églantelles® MASanme – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Remontant flowering, cluster-blooming Anna Mège™ offers dense, bushy structure and dark green, foliage well suited to compact, flowerbed-oriented programmes and standard-container lines. As tray-grown, own-root NEONATAL material, it supports predictable, large-scale propagation with homogeneous stands and low replacement in nursery networks where reliable series production for retail and reseller channels is essential. The remontant habit with abundant second flush helps professional growers maintain season-long ornamental value in 2–3 L routes, while own-root longevity underpins long-term stock blocks in thematic or collection plantings, even in exposed projects where winter and wind tolerance across northern UK sites is a consideration. Planned as a renewable production base, it aligns with a development arc where roots establish in year one, shoots and framework strengthen in year two, and full ornamental expression is typically realised in year three for finished-product scheduling.

| Resistance and winter hardiness |
