ROSE DE TOLBIAC® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own‑root climbing rose propagation material
Climbing own‑root NEONATAL material of ROSE DE TOLBIAC® offers a stable base for trained vertical features in nursery and wholesale production, with remontant flowering and very full rosette blooms that retain an exclusive, exhibition‑grade appearance. The cultivar’s height range of 180–280 cm and 60–100 cm spread supports pergolas, arches, fences and wall lines, fitting UK project specifications where reliable vertical coverage and clear structure are essential. Own‑root technology supports long‑term regeneration and predictable, homogeneous stands, reducing replacement risk in integrated supply chains and cultivar collections. Recommended as a staked, trained climber (3–5 main canes) in 5–7 L for onward production, it aligns with professional routes into premium retail/reseller channels needing space‑defining, exclusive feature plants. With good heat tolerance and hardiness to −23 °C, it adapts well from public‑realm schemes to collection gardens in cooler regions, supporting nursery networks in Scotland and North England where winter and wind resilience are a routine planning factor for capacity and stock security over multi‑year rotations.
