RENAISSANCE DE FLÉCHÈRE – golden-yellow hybrid tea rose – Ducher
Renaissance de Fléchère offers a premium own-root base for nurseries aiming at exclusive hybrid tea production, combining bush-trained, 3–5 cane structure with a remontant, abundant second flush that supports reliable cut-flower and specimen output. With good heat tolerance that works well for exposed southern and eastern UK sites and other demanding locations, it suits high-volume propagation beds feeding a container-led route into 5–7 L premium lines and larger 40–50 litre statement pieces. The medium, cup-shaped, double blooms deliver consistent form, while the medium-dense, dark green foliage frames the golden-yellow colour range for collection and show-garden projects. Own-root material underpins a predictable development arc over three seasons—roots establishing first, then framework growth, then full ornamental expression—supporting homogeneous, low-replacement planting for thematic collections, public projects and curated ranges where long-term credibility with trade partners matters.
