Muiden™ Castle® POUlcas071 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Floribunda production of Muiden™ Castle® POUlcas071 offers professional growers a reliable bedding and container shrub with bushy, wide-spreading habit and moderate height, ideal for standard container routes into retail and reseller channels. Its uniform medium-pink colour, double, cluster-flowered blooms and medium, fresh wild-rose fragrance support a clear “reliable garden performance” positioning for flowerbeds, edging and terrace containers. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a renewable, long-lived base for nursery networks where predictable quality and homogeneous stands limit replacement risk, particularly valuable in regions where winter and wind exposure demand stable cropping and logistics. Disease resistance to powdery mildew with moderate black spot tolerance underpins low to moderate maintenance programmes, while the remontant, bountiful second flush allows scheduling for extended retail windows. In practice, NEONATAL rooted cuttings follow a natural development arc of root establishment in year one, structural framework in year two and full ornamental value from year three, making capacity planning and long-term stock strategies more predictable for integrators and wholesale partners.
