Oceana® Hybrid tea rose OSIana – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Exclusive cut-flower quality, premium hybrid tea form and cream tonality make Oceana® OSIana a strong option where consistent flower quality and form are central to an exclusive finished product offer. As tray-rooted pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, these 3–6‑month‑old own-root cuttings give you a stable, renewable propagation base for premium 5–7 L container production and bush-trained plants with 3–5 strong framework canes, well suited to nursery beds and container grow-on systems serving UK retail and reseller channels. Its vigour, upright habit and good disease resistance support homogeneous stands with low replacement in thematic collections and dedicated rose gardens, while own-root longevity underpins long-term stock blocks and private-label ranges in a climate where winters can be sharp yet manageable with H7 hardiness. With good repeat flowering and a fragrant, high‑centred flower suited to cut use, you can plan Year 1 roots, Year 2 structural shoots and Year 3 full ornamental performance for predictable, exclusive output.
