Lavanila Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Premium own-root propagation material of Lavanila Hybrid tea rose pharmaROSA® gives growers a bushy, medium-height hybrid tea base for exclusive, flower-led assortments aimed at retail and reseller channels. The velvety, deep-red, double blooms combine strong, long-lasting fragrance with reliable repeat-flowering, supporting high-impact premium container production with 5–7 L as the core size and options for 40–50 litre feature pieces. On own roots, stands develop predictably over time—roots in year one, structural shoots in year two, then full ornamental value from year three—with stable performance down to H7, suiting projects where winter and wind exposure are normal in many UK nursery and landscape locations. Medium maintenance needs and black-spot resistance support consistent quality in nursery propagation beds and container systems, while the ellipsoid orange-red hips add seasonal colour interest for collection and thematic rose garden projects. Tray-grown NEONATAL cuttings integrate efficiently into professional planning for wholesale-scale, exclusive finished product ranges.
