LES POTES DE BEDROS – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting for professional rose production
As a shrub rose within the Les Provençelles® collection, LES POTES DE BEDROS connects nostalgia character with reliable upright structure, offering professional producers a premium container route on own-root material that supports long-term, low-replacement stands. The intensely fragrant, double, dark-pink cupped blooms with romantic character underpin an exclusive finished-product positioning focused on flower quality and form for retail and reseller channels. Its remontant, cluster-flowering habit supports consistent, season-long display from 5–7 L premium pots and larger, including 40–50 litre specimens for show-garden and collection use, while own-root propagation ensures predictable regeneration and stable ornamental value over time. With hardiness aligned to Scottish and northern English conditions, it performs reliably where winter and wind resilience are required, providing a practical base for thematic rose gardens and curated cultivar collections. In typical professional cycles, roots establish in year one, structural shoots build in year two, and full ornamental value is realised from year three, supporting planned capacity and dependable scheduling across nursery networks and wholesale supply.
