Dune® Grand Perfumes DELgrim – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own‑root climber propagation material
Climber production with Dune® Grand Perfumes DELgrim gives You a vertically focused, own‑root propagation base that develops steadily from rooting to canopy build‑up and then full ornamental value by the third season, supporting trained, space‑defining forms for pergolas and walls in 5–7 L containers or larger 40–50 litre feature units for project work; its height range allows reliable coverage of arches and trellis runs, while medium spread and moderately dense, mid‑green foliage create a clean architectural line suited to exclusive, collection‑type displays in thematic rose gardens, including public and institutional settings where dependable H7 winter hardiness is valuable in cooler UK regions with significant wind exposure; the strongly fragrant, semi‑double, cluster‑flowered, lemon‑yellow flowers with repeat‑blooming potential support a premium vertical garden feature positioning that nurseries and wholesalers can integrate into retail and reseller concepts as a distinctive, own‑root specialty offer.
