Pascali® Hybrid tea rose LENip – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Pascali from pharmaROSA® NEONATAL provides professional growers with own-root, tray-grown material for premium 5–7 L containers and exclusive retail ranges where flower quality and high-centred exhibition form are central. As an upright hybrid tea with 3–5 strong framework canes, it structures nursery beds efficiently and moves cleanly through cutting, lining-out and potting stages, supporting predictable scheduling for premium wholesale and private-label offers. Its remontant, large, fully double, snow-white blooms with a delicate ivory centre bring reliable cut-flower and solitary specimen presentation, while own-root durability supports long-term collection and park projects in UK climates with dependable winter and wind tolerance in exposed northern sites, enhancing continuity in thematic rose gardens. Planned as a stable own-root base, it aligns with Year 1 root establishment, Year 2 structural shoot build-up and Year 3 full ornamental value.
