PRELINA – carmine-red bedding floribunda rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Compact growth, bushy structure and reliably remontant flowering make PRELINA a practical bedding floribunda for nursery container production and resilient retail ranges, while its resistant foliage supports low-intervention programmes even in wetter UK regions with demanding fungal pressure; the carmine-red, raspberry-toned blooms provide colour impact in standard 2–3 L containers, aligning with a “standard finished product” profile focused on dependable garden performance and repeat sales from satisfied end users. As own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, it offers a stable, renewable base for propagation beds and stock blocks, enabling predictable quality and homogeneous stands across successive cycles. Over a natural progression of roots in year one, framework build-up in year two and full ornamental effect in year three, PRELINA supports sustainable, long-lived beds and collection plantings, while its moderate height and spread simplify bench planning and density calculations for wholesale growers building reliable carmine-red lines for retail partners.
