P. S. DE LUXEMBOURG™ – purple climbing rose - Orard – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL

Climbing production of P. S. DE LUXEMBOURG™ as pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cuttings offers a reliable base for vertical feature lines and trained-finish programmes where you need repeatable, exhibition-grade material on own roots. Its remontant flowering with a plentiful second flush supports long retail windows when grown on as a trained climber in 5–7 L containers and released staked with 3–5 canes. The strong, matt dark green foliage frames the distinctive violet‑purple, semi-double blooms with a visible yellow eye, giving a recognisable colour identity for thematic collections and project specifications. With H7-rated hardiness down to about –25 °C and good heat tolerance, it aligns well with nursery supply into cooler UK regions where winter and wind resilience are expected. Own‑root propagation underpins long‑term cropping: renewable structure, stable stands, and low replacement on resprouting plants across cycles. The development arc from first-season roots through second-year frame building to third-year full ornamental value fits planned production for exclusive, space‑defining vertical garden concepts. This supports wholesale partners and resellers who require a dependable, premium-silver cultivar for climbing-rose assortments and private-label ranges.


Usage options

Target area Reasoning
Exclusive trained climber in 5–7 L containers P. S. DE LUXEMBOURG™ is bred as a large-flowered climbing rose with an 8.5–12.5 ft frame, ideal for trained climber finished products. Growing on pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cuttings into 5–7 L, staked and pre-trained with 3–5 main canes, provides an immediately saleable vertical feature in retail/reseller channels that focus on exclusive, space‑defining climbers for thematic rose gardens and collection beds, particularly where winter and wind resilience in northern regions is part of the specification for professional growers.
Vertical specimen for thematic rose gardens The cultivar’s strong, dark green, matt foliage and climbing habit create a convincing architectural specimen when trained on frames or obelisks. From NEONATAL young plants, a structured frame can be built over the second season, with full show value from the third, fitting planned production for high-impact vertical garden features and park focal points. The recommended product path as a trained climber rises well above standard bedding, supporting premium positioning in dedicated rose gardens and curated collections for wholesale partners.
Colour-focused collection lines The distinctive deep violet‑purple flowers with a yellow ring of stamens and a lavender fade provide a strong colour story within climbing assortments. Using uniform, own-root propagation material allows nurseries to build consistent, colour‑coded ranges, while 5–7 L trained forms deliver clear on-bench impact. This aligns with the “vertical garden feature, distinctive habit” value promise and supports specialist climber benches and thematic purple ranges in retail assortments.
Repeat-flowering feature walls and pergolas Remontant flowering with a plentiful second flush makes this cultivar suitable for applications where a long ornamental season is expected, such as pergolas, arches, and facade greening in show or public gardens. NEONATAL material gives a stable own‑root base for building permanent structures that reflush reliably after pruning, supporting continuous flowering hedges and walls. This answers the need for visually persistent, exclusive, space‑defining vertical features in premium project‑driven project suppliers.
Fragrance-led premium climber segment The strong, long-lasting spicy sweet aroma positions this rose as a clear candidate for fragrance‑labelled climbing lines. When grown on into trained 5–7 L products, the scented, semi-double clusters become a tangible selling point in retail environments that differentiate on sensory impact. Own‑root plants maintain vigour and aromatic display over years, supporting long-term satisfaction where exclusive, high-value climbers are expected to justify their bench space for reseller ranges.
Robust structural planting in parks and larger projects The combination of 260–380 cm height, dense foliage, and H7 hardiness to approximately –26 to –23 °C makes this cultivar suitable for more demanding park and institutional contexts, provided moderate plant protection is planned. NEONATAL own‑root stock enables homogeneous stands and stable replacement capacity over time, which suits multi‑site planting contracts. This supports the “vertical garden feature, distinctive habit” proposition for public‑realm and estate‑scale plantings managed by integrator networks.
Moderate-maintenance trained climber offers With moderate disease resistance and self‑cleaning that benefits from occasional deadheading, this cultivar fits offers aimed at customers prepared for basic climbing-rose maintenance. Positioned as a trained climber finished product, its management profile is transparent: regular tying, some health monitoring, and periodic pruning. NEONATAL own‑root plants tolerate this ongoing load, regenerating after harder pruning and maintaining vertical impact for discerning nursery clients.
Premium, award-backed collector and exhibition assortments Multiple international awards, including Gold medals at Baden‑Baden and Rome and “Best climbing rose” in Mesa, provide a clear quality signal for collector and exhibition-oriented ranges. Professional growers can leverage these recognitions when building premium silver-labelled, named-cultivar climber selections, using uniform NEONATAL propagation material as the base. This supports exclusive, space‑defining presentation in show gardens and branded collections for specialist rose retailers.
