CLAIRE – pink bedding grandiflora rose – EVEbrugen – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Grandiflora own-root propagation material of CLAIRE offers professional growers a compact, upright, bedding rose option for uniform container and bed production, with dense, glossy foliage and mid-pink double blooms suited to reliable remontant colour across the season. As own-root propagation stock it supports long-lived, renewable stands with predictable habit, helping nurseries maintain consistent output in standard 2–3 L container lines and scalable bed-rose ranges. The medium maintenance profile and moderate disease resistance support efficient crop care planning, while its use for flower-bed, specimen and light cut production fits UK collection and thematic garden projects where dependable finished quality and repeat flowering are valued. Suitable for nursery propagation beds and integrator networks serving public and retail projects that must tolerate typical UK winters and inland exposure with stable performance in colder regions of Scotland and northern England. Working from tray-rooted, 3–6‑month, own-root material, growers can plan year‑on‑year production, with roots establishing in year one, framework building in year two and full ornamental value consolidating by year three, underpinning wholesale availability and credible, collection-ready stock.
