Bienvenue – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted climber
Climbing performance and fragrance-driven appeal make Bienvenue a reliable choice for nursery propagation beds and container grow-on where exclusive, space-defining roses are required at volume. As tray-rooted own-root material, it supports predictable training into staked, trained climber finished products in 5–7 L pots for vertical garden features, rose arches, walls and arbours. The dense dark green foliage frames very full, large clustered blooms in pale mallow-pink with lavender tones, ideal for thematic collections and display plantings in UK-style public and show gardens. Own-root structure underpins long-term stability, homogeneous stands and low replacement need, with roots consolidating in year one, structural canes maturing in year two and full ornamental value expressed from year three. Medium maintenance and disease resistance remain manageable within professional crop protection programmes, while H7 hardiness and performance in cooler, exposed sites mean it can support schemes in northern regions where winter and wind tolerance are valued. Moderate vigour and creeping, trainable canes allow efficient labour planning for staking and shaping in line with wholesale scheduling and retail/reseller expectations, forming a durable, high-impact vertical feature rose for integrated nursery networks. In systems serving public-realm and institutional projects, the own-root format offers enduring longevity and regeneration capacity, aligning with sustainable-stock strategies and helping you maintain consistent quality across repeated production cycles and replenishment windows.

Bred by Georges Delbard in France in 1999, introduced and registered in 2011 by Delbard SA with variety code DELrochipar; parentage is unknown, distributed initially by Georges Delbard SA in France. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Creeping, trainable climbing habit reaching about 2,0–3,2 m in height with a 1,0–1,7 m spread, dense dark green slightly glossy foliage, moderately thorny canes, offering good structural coverage when staked and guided. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, very full, cup-shaped blooms with 40+ petals, produced mainly in clusters; remontant habit with a plentiful second flowering flush, though spent blooms show weak self-cleaning and generally require manual removal. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pale mallow-pink with lavender shade; buds pale mauve-pink, opening mid-pink with lilac-mauve tones, fading to uniform light pink with pastel whitish-lilac outer petals; colour retention is poor, with a silvery, powdery lilac veil at fade. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, complex, layered scent clearly noticeable from a distance; heavily double rosette flowers prioritise ornamental and fragrance value rather than pollinator resources, with stamens largely concealed within the petal mass. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional spherical hips produced, approximately 8–13 mm in diameter, coloured red corresponding to RHS 40A; hips are not dominant but may appear sporadically on established, well-managed plants. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7), corresponding to Swedish zone 3 and USDA zone 6b; moderate heat and drought tolerance, requiring regular watering and avoiding prolonged dryness. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best used for flower beds, cut flowers, pergolas, arbours, rose arches and walls; suits trained climber production with staked, pre-trained 3–5 cane forms, medium maintenance including occasional pest, disease and spent bloom management. |
