BARI™ – yellow bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Floribunda production of BARI™ offers a compact, bushy habit with dense, glossy foliage ideal for uniform nursery blocks and efficient bench use in 2–3 L containers. The bright golden-yellow flower colour, with its lemon-toned centre and buttery fading, supports a reliable “standard finished product” profile for retail and reseller partners seeking consistent visual appeal in flower beds, borders and park plantings. Double, clustered blooms with a medium fragrance and abundant remontant flowering help deliver repeat-impact batches throughout the season, while H7 hardiness down to -29 °C underpins planning for UK-wide supply, including cooler regions where winter and wind exposure are significant considerations. Own-root NEONATAL material builds a durable base for wholesale stock: stable structure, long lifespan and good regeneration, enabling homogeneous stands, low replacement and predictable capacity. As plants move from year-one root establishment through stronger year-two shoot development to full ornamental performance by year three, growers can schedule standard-container output and private-label ranges with confidence, supporting thematic rose gardens, collection plantings and public-realm projects on a scalable, professional platform of tray-rooted cuttings designed for modern nursery logistics.
