Goldstone Hybrid tea rose TANtern
Exhibition performance, cut-flower potential and premium flower quality make Goldstone (TANtern) a practical own-root starting point for nurseries aiming at exclusive, golden-yellow hybrid tea lines for pergolas, fences and specimen features. Its remontant habit with high-centred, solitary blooms and medium maintenance needs fits planned premium-container production and retail / reseller channels where consistent bud form and colour are critical. As an own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL cutting, it underpins predictable, renewable stands for thematic rose gardens and collection plantings, supporting nationwide supply where winter tolerance is valued in exposed nursery and project sites. Bush-trained with 3–5 strong canes, it is well suited to 5–7 L premium routes and, once lined out, can be stepped up towards larger, 40–50 litre feature stock. Developed for professional rose production, it offers a stable base for building exclusive finished ranges, with Year 1 root establishment, Year 2 structural build-up and Year 3 full ornamental value in colour, form and scent.
