La Parisienne – DELpartricol rooted cutting for professional propagation
Colour variation, upright habit and compact release form make La Parisienne a reliable tray-rooted option for nursery propagation beds and 2–3 L container grow-on, where its dense, dark-green foliage and moderately self-cleaning flowers support efficient maintenance. As an own-root pharmaROSA NEONATAL cutting, it offers predictable long-term performance with renewable growth, underpinning wholesale ranges for thematic rose gardens, curated collections and public-realm schemes, while its good heat and drought tolerance suits southern and south-eastern UK sites exposed to warmer, drier periods. The semi-double, large, yellow-orange blooms with delicate fruity fragrance deliver visual impact and cut potential, and over a typical three-year development arc from root establishment through shoot build-up to full ornamental value, stands remain stable and commercially dependable.
