FLOWER POWER GOLD™ – yellow dwarf mini rose - Fryer
Miniature own-root propagation of FLOWER POWER GOLD™ offers a compact, patio-focused cultivar with neon-like golden blooms tailored to container and border lines where impulse-driven colour is key yet crops must stay structurally compact and uniform. The dense, upright habit and glossy mid-green foliage provide reliable coverage for edging, urban forecourts and small-space schemes, while its remontant flowering supports an instant, long-lasting display in retail-focused formats. On own roots it builds predictable, renewable stands with low replacement over successive production cycles, moving from root establishment through shoot build-up to full ornamental value over three seasons, aligning with nursery planning. Colour retention is very stable, so the vivid golden-yellow mass effect holds well on benches and in schemes, including cooler UK regions where winter and wind exposure can be a factor. Medium maintenance and disease resistance remain manageable within professional systems, and the pharmaROSA® NEONATAL tray-rooted cuttings integrate efficiently into high-volume wholesale workflows for compact 1.5–2 L finished product ranges.
