REGAL PRINCE – pink-white bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Regal Prince offers tray-grown, own-root propagation material optimised for nursery workflows where predictable, repeatable output and low intervention are priorities. This upright, moderately dense floribunda suits bedding and container programmes built on standard 2–3 L routes, giving a compact, bush-trained base that is easy to schedule and bench in propagation beds. With verified cultivar authenticity and premium silver quality rating, it integrates well into integrated nursery networks serving thematic and collection-style rose gardens, while its reliable disease resistance supports reduced spray programmes and lower maintenance loads in finished stock. The own-root format supports long production runs, regenerative crowns and stable stands, aligning well with UK-wide supply for projects where dependable garden performance is essential in climates with cold, wind-exposed seasons. Development typically moves from root establishment in year one, structural framework in year two and full ornamental bedding impact from year three, giving a durable platform for professional ranges on an own-root basis across retail, reseller and collection channels.
