Metanoïa Climbing rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material
Metanoïa is a climbing rose built for professional vertical projects, offering a space‑defining, exclusive presence on pergolas, arches, fences and walls from a stable own‑root propagation base. Its remontant, cluster‑flowered, semi‑double blooms in warm coral‑orange to creamy peach provide season‑long ornamental impact with a distinctive, creeping habit and moderately dense, glossy dark‑green foliage that supports high‑quality, trained climber production in 5–7 L pots. In typical UK nursery conditions it fits efficiently into trellis‑trained stock for retail and reseller partners, while its own‑root form underpins long‑term regeneration, low replacement and predictable capacity in nursery networks, well suited to harsher northern sites where winter and wind exposure are regular factors. Developed as pharmaROSA® NEONATAL tray‑rooted material, Metanoïa follows the usual professional development arc from Year 1 root establishment through Year 2 structural cane build‑up to full ornamental value by Year 3 in finished collections.
