Ausglobe – pink English rose – Austin – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Premium own-root Ausglobe material offers growers a stable base for container and cut-flower production where consistent flower form and fragrance justify an exclusive positioning. This English rose delivers XL, very double, ball-shaped blooms with a strong old-rose scent, supporting premium shrub and cut-stem lines in cohesive retail or reseller ranges. Upright, bushy growth with dense, dark green foliage and sparse prickles supports efficient handling and presentation in the 5–7 L premium container route, while the own-root platform underpins predictable regeneration and long-term cropping. A flexible option for thematic rose gardens and collection beds, it suits nursery propagation beds and onward 5–7 L finishing, feeding private-label romantic-rose assortments and show-garden projects where flower quality and form are central. With hardiness rated to RHS H7 and USDA Zone 5b, it fits UK nursery and public-realm supply chains that must perform reliably in colder, wind-exposed sites typical of Scotland and Northern England, supporting dependable stock performance over time. The own-root development arc—root establishment in year one, strong shoot build-up in year two, and full ornamental expression from year three—helps nurseries schedule phased releases and maintain homogeneous batches and dependable capacity in wholesale programmes.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy shrub 120–180 cm high and 100–140 cm wide, sparsely thorned with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage; weak self-cleaning so spent blooms typically require removal for best presentation. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, XL flowers over 3.5 inches, ball to pompon shaped, mainly solitary; remontant with an abundant second flush, but with weak self-cleaning so deadheading supports sustained display quality. |

| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, garden-filling classic old-rose fragrance character; primarily ornamental rather than pollinator oriented due to highly double flowers and concealed stamens, but excellent for scented plant programmes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally low because of highly double blooms; where formed, hips reach approximately 10–18 mm diameter, with shape and colour currently not provided in available technical data. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to about -26 to -23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4); disease profile moderate overall with good black spot resistance, moderate reactions to powdery mildew and rust, needing some plant protection. |
