Crazy Maya ® NIRPAYSAGE ADAcompastrif – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Compact habit, uniform branching and polyantha flowering make Crazy Maya ® an efficient choice where You need predictable bedding and edging coverage from tray-rooted young stock. Its striped red-cream flowers give strong visual impact in thematic collections and project-led beds, while dense, dark foliage supports a clean, mass-planting look. On own roots the crop develops steadily – roots in year one, structural shoots in year two, then full ornamental value in year three – giving a durable base for nursery propagation, 1.5–2 L container finishing and landscape-oriented wholesale supply. The cultivar’s remontant cluster-flowering supports continuous colour blocks for public-realm and institutional schemes, with hardiness suited to exposed northern and inland sites where winter and wind remain reliable design constraints. Medium maintenance demand and premium cultivar verification align well with project mass-planting ranges and private-label thematic rose offerings.
