Tatton – National Trust Inspired Collection – FRYentice
Orange floribunda bedding rose material for professional nursery use, Tatton (FRYentice) offers compact, bush-trained habit and dense, dark foliage that finish cleanly into retail-ready 2–3 L shrubs on a standard container route. The richly fruity fragrance and large, double, cluster-flowered heads support value-added ranges for thematic rose gardens and collection plantings, while the remontant, plentiful second flowering underpins continuous colour scheduling for retail/reseller partners. Own-root NEONATAL cuttings provide a stable, renewable base for nursery propagation beds and container grow-on, suitable for park and flower-bed schemes where reliable bed-rose performance is expected, and inherently aligned with UK projects exposed to colder winters and strong winds, supporting consistent northern and Scottish planting programmes. Within PharmaRosa’s 1600-cultivar own-root platform, Tatton fits smoothly into professional, wholesale-scale supply plans: Year 1 root development, Year 2 framework and shoot structure, Year 3 fully expressive ornamental impact for collection-standard beds. Across integrated production networks, the homogeneous own-root start helps reduce replacement, protect reputation, and maintain predictable capacity for long-term Tatton-based ranges.
