Laurent Voulzy Guillot® Hybrid Tea GUI3009 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Premium own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of Laurent Voulzy offers bushy framework development, strong fragrance and high petal count as a dependable base for nursery propagation beds and premium container rose production. Its nostalgia-style blooms with a yellow‑pink colour gradient support exclusive, story-driven ranges for retail and reseller partners, while almost thornless stems and dense, dark green foliage simplify crop handling and presentation. On own roots it provides renewable growth and predictable stand behaviour, supporting consistent capacity even under winter conditions typical of Scotland and Northern England with dependable cold tolerance and wind resilience. Planned as bush-trained, 3–5 cane material for 5–7 L premium containers, it fits integrated nursery networks and project-driven supply, where Year 1 focuses on root establishment, Year 2 on structural shoot build-up, and Year 3 on full ornamental value for finished-product release.

not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy shrub reaching about 80–110 cm in height and 75–105 cm spread, with dense, dark green glossy foliage, almost thornless shoots and moderate self-cleaning that benefits from occasional deadheading. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, solitary, very double, cup-shaped blooms with 40+ petals, remontant with a plentiful second flush; flower size in the 2.75–3.95 inch range, providing substantial visual impact on the plant. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Yellow-pink bicolour with ARS OB and RHS 48C/22D codes; flowers open deep peachy-pink with golden tones, then fade to pastel pink and cream-peach, with moderate colour retention and faster fading in strong sun. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, intense fragrance with a fresh, tart character; very double flowers limit pollinator value but provide a pronounced scent experience suited to fragrance-led assortments and specimen positioning. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally produces small spherical red hips, around 10–14 mm diameter, not a dominant ornamental feature but of potential minor interest in less deadheaded plantings. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately −23 to −21 °C, corresponding to RHS H7, Swedish zone 3 and USDA 6a, with moderate heat and drought tolerance needing regular watering. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to borders, specimen plantings, containers and some cut-flower use; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection, supplied bush-trained on 3–5 canes, recommended for premium container production in 5–7 L sizes. |
