Charlie Chaplin™ hybrid tea rose TSCHaka – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Hybrid performance and premium flower form make Charlie Chaplin™ a reliable choice where exhibition‑quality hybrid teas are expected from a container production route. This upright, well‑branched bush structure delivers border and cut‑flower versatility, aligning well with 5–7 L premium pots and exclusive finished‑product positioning through retail and reseller networks. The dense, glossy foliage presents flowers cleanly for specimen use, while medium disease resistance with good mildew and black‑spot tolerance supports predictable scheduling in nursery and integrator systems. Own‑root propagation gives a long‑term, renewable base for cultivar collections and show gardens, building homogeneous stands and low replacement risk across production cycles as roots establish, shoots consolidate, and full ornamental value is expressed over three seasons. Its H7 rating and USDA 6b performance support confident use in cooler UK production zones, offering dependable growth where winter and wind exposure are regular season‑planning constraints. Moderate maintenance needs and controlled height simplify crop handling and dispatch, and the cultivar’s mild, fruity fragrance and distinctive peach‑yellow colour provide a clear, differentiated offer for high‑specification, own‑root rose ranges.
