LUCIA NISTLER® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root propagation material
With its upright habit, remontant flowering and premium flower presentation, LUCIA NISTLER® offers professional growers a reliable own-root starting point for an exclusive hybrid-tea border and cut-flower line in nursery and wholesale programmes. The semi-double, goblet-shaped blooms deliver consistent colour impact in vivid to pale pink stages and a moderate, distinctly sweet fragrance that suits premium container routes and specimen positioning. Medium maintenance demand and moderate disease resistance, including good black-spot resistance, support homogeneous stands and predictable workload in nursery beds and 5–7 L container production, while own-root plants provide renewable growth and long-term structural stability for thematic collections and show-garden ranges in climates where winter resilience and wind exposure are typical. Tray-rooted, 3–6‑month-old material integrates smoothly into planned propagation cycles, moving from root establishment in year one, framework and shoot building in year two, to full ornamental expression by year three.
