Marjolaine NIRPESPACE SAUniber – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Floribunda production with pharmaROSA® NEONATAL gives You a compact, upright habit on own roots, ideal for uniform 2–3 L containers and standard finished-product lines focused on reliable garden performance. This shrub-type flowerbed rose combines dense, glossy dark-green foliage with XL, very double, cluster-flowered blooms, creating high perceived value in retail / reseller channels where structured colour blocks in beds and groups are important. The delicate pastel peach to salmon colour range supports thematic collection concepts for show and park projects, while own-root longevity means a predictable development arc from root establishment, through structural build-up, to full ornamental value over the first three seasons. Well-adapted to typical UK nursery and landscape supply, it also performs reliably in cooler northern conditions with good winter tolerance in exposed sites.

| Awards and recognition |

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bush-trained, compact plant reaching about 75–105 cm high and 50–70 cm spread, with dense, glossy dark-green foliage and moderate prickliness, suitable for bedding and container-based presentation. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, XL-sized blooms with more than 40 petals, high-centred and pointed-budded in a cut-rose style, borne in clusters; remontant, with a generous second flowering and medium self-cleaning characteristics. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pastel peach and salmon tones (RHS 24D–24C) that open light salmon-orange, deepen toward the centre, then fade to pale cream with a subtle pink undertone before petal drop, giving a soft, warm overall effect. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is mild and restrained with a subtle character; blooms are primarily ornamental, with very full double flowers limiting pollinator access and making it less suitable where nectar provision is a priority. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally produces small, ellipsoid red hips around 6–10 mm diameter; hip set is not dominant, so it does not significantly detract from bedding use or require specific management in standard production systems. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness approximately -21–-18 °C (H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b) with moderate heat tolerance, requiring irrigation under prolonged drought conditions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, groups, specimen and park use with medium maintenance needs; suited to standard container production in 2–3 L pots using bush-trained compact plants, with occasional pest and disease control as required. |
