Red Parfum™ Climbing rose EVErepra – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material
Red Parfum™ is a high-impact, vertical own-root rambler for professional producers needing reliable, space-efficient coverage and a clearly differentiated, fragrance-led portfolio in climbing roses. As pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, uniform, tray-rooted cuttings support predictable capacity planning from nursery propagation beds through to trained 5–7 L climber lines, with a development arc of roots in year one, framework shoots in year two, and full ornamental expression by year three. The densely foliated, glossy mid-green canopy and richly coloured, medium-sized, cupped clusters deliver a strong specimen effect on pergolas, fences and arbours, underpinned by moderate self-cleaning that suits scheduled maintenance regimes for institutional or retail networks. Own-root longevity and regenerative growth help maintain homogeneous, low-replacement stands within integrator and public-realm supply chains, while the very strong damask fragrance enables premium “exclusive, space-defining” positioning in UK-style thematic rose gardens; well suited to cooler regions needing robust winter performance with reliable wind and cold tolerance.
