Coco ® Lilliputs® KORcoeinf – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
compact own-root propagation of Coco ® Lilliputs® KORcoeinf offers a stable base for container production, aligning with nursery and wholesale requirements for predictable, uniform batches and remontant colour performance in the retail channel. The cultivar’s dwarf habit and dense, glossy foliage support high-density bench layouts and efficient tray handling in propagation beds, with clear routing into 1.5–2 L patio formats. With hardiness down to H7/USDA 5b and good tolerance of heat and brief dryness, it can reliably support UK-wide programmes, including cooler northern sites where winter resilience and wind exposure are factors. Its single, pollinator-friendly blooms and warm salmon-pink colouration enable thematic and collection-type ranges for show and public gardens, while the own-root form underpins long-lived, renewable stock with low replacement in nursery systems. The development arc from root establishment in year one, framework building in year two and full ornamental output in year three supports planning of staggered release cycles and predictable, collection-ready finished products across integrated supply chains, giving you a resilient propagation platform for impulse-led, container-based retail assortments on an own-root technology base and sustainability-driven production. In this way you can build diversity into your rose offer while maintaining commercial focus on compact, high-turnover, impulse-ready containers.

Warm salmon-pink tonality with subtle orange hue; buds pale orangey-pink, opening vibrant salmon, then lightening to salmon-pink and rosy-peach tones, with only moderate fading and a clean, attractive ageing phase. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
No noticeable fragrance; scentless character simplifies placement in mixed plantings and avoids fragrance-driven expectations, while open flower form still delivers visual impact and functional pollinator value. |
