Gold Pin™ Mini - dwarf rose Gold Pin – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material
Compact and bushy, Gold Pin™ offers a dense, upright framework that is ideal for nursery propagation beds and container grow-on where predictable shaping and canopy fill are essential. Its miniature flower size and intense yellow tonality deliver an instant, high-impact display in 1.5–2 L patio formats aimed at impulse-driven retail and small-space projects. Remontant, cluster-flowered flushes support a consistent flowering surface over the season, underpinning collection and range-building needs for thematic rose gardens and dedicated yellow lines. Own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material gives a stable base for long-term stock, with roots establishing in year one, structural shoots consolidating in year two and full ornamental value in year three, supporting homogeneous stands with low replacement under typical UK nursery and public-realm supply conditions, including areas exposed to cold winters and strong winds. Its fragrant profile and premium cultivar authenticity rating integrate smoothly into professional propagation workflows and wholesale programmes focused on reliable volume and consistent quality.
