Reconciliation® Hybrid tea rose HARtillery – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Fragrance and colour make Reconciliation® a convincing own-root starting point for nursery-scale premium container production, with its upright habit and dark, glossy foliage supporting a clean, exhibition-style presentation in 5–7 L routes. The remontant flowering delivers abundant, very double, cup-shaped blooms suited to cut-flower and specimen positioning, while very strong, garden-filling scent underpins exclusive finished-product offers for retail and reseller partners. Moderate disease profile with notable black spot resistance supports reliable bed and container performance in UK nursery and public-realm supply, particularly where winter-hardy material is needed for colder regions exposed to wind and low temperatures. Own-root propagation through pharmaROSA® NEONATAL provides a stable, regenerating base for building homogeneous, long-lived stock with predictable capacity across nursery networks. This aligns with professional growers’ need for a flexible portfolio that can feed thematic rose gardens and collection-style projects, with Year 1 root establishment, Year 2 structural shoot development and Year 3 delivering full ornamental value in premium, exclusive hybrid tea lines.
