Rosige Landdrostei® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Floribunda own‑root propagation material of Rosige Landdrostei offers a compact, bushy habit with dense, glossy foliage and medium winter hardiness, well suited to standard 2–3 L container production and structured bedding schemes for retail and reseller channels. Its vivid mid‑red, cream‑backed blooms give a distinctive two‑tone colour effect in massed plantings, and perform reliably in flower beds, edging and urban green spaces where consistent visual value is required. Own‑root plants provide a predictable, renewable base for nursery beds and collection blocks, supporting homogeneous stands and low replacement rates over a long production life. In professional UK conditions, this cultivar aligns well with schemes exposed to wind and winter in northern regions, while tray‑rooted NEONATAL cuttings integrate easily into nursery workflows from Year 1 roots through Year 2 canopy build‑up to full ornamental value in Year 3.
