ROS'ODILE™ – yellow-pink flower-bed shrub rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Compact and bushy by nature, ROS'ODILE™ offers a reliable, medium‑maintenance structure for nursery and wholesale programmes targeting standard 2–3 L shrub production, with tray‑rooted pharmaROSA® NEONATAL cuttings providing a stable, own‑root platform for further propagation and stock building. Its remontant, cluster‑flowered habit ensures repeated display for flower beds, parks and urban projects, aligning well with UK‑style thematic collections and public‑realm schemes where dependable yellow‑pink colour is valued. The combination of H7 cold hardiness and tolerance down to -21 °C supports production for cooler supply regions as well as typical retail garden use, while black spot resistance helps to hold quality through the sales window. Own‑root material underpins long‑term stand stability and predictable renewal in nursery beds and finished stock—roots establishing in year one, framework in year two, and full ornamental performance by year three—supporting homogeneous batches and efficient logistics in a national market that often requires winter and wind‑tolerant lines for Scotland and northern England.
