FLEUR™ – orange dwarf mini rose - Olesen – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Compact propagation material of FLEUR™ provides a dense, bushy habit ideal for efficient bench spacing and uniform 1.5–2 L crop timing, with miniature flower size and shrub exhibition profile well suited to impulse-led patio and edging offers. The vibrant orange and golden-yellow colour blend retains strong retail impact throughout the remontant second flush, supporting an edging- and container-focused range for garden centre and nursery programmes. Own-root production offers long-term stand stability and easier re-cropping, aligning with nursery systems that need predictable quality for thematic rose collections and show displays. Over successive seasons roots, then shoots, then full ornamental value develop into a stable collection asset, reducing replacement and backing long-term project planning. Moderate disease resistance supports medium-maintenance programmes where occasional plant protection is planned into UK nursery operations. The 55–65 cm height and spread scale cleanly into compact container–patio finished products that travel well through nationwide, island-route logistics as a reliable retail-ready mini rose.
