Scent From Heaven climbing rose CHEwbabaluv – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
As pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root propagation material, Scent From Heaven offers a fragrant and visually vertical solution for nurseries building trained climber ranges for pergolas, arches and walls. Its dense, dark green foliage and warm peach‑orange, cup-shaped blooms with a very strong, fruity scent form a premium, space-defining presence that suits exclusive, collection-style plantings. The own-root format supports long-term stability and regeneration under nursery propagation loads, giving predictable structure for trained, staked finished stock in 5–7 L containers and larger 40–50 litre feature units. With good heat tolerance and H7 winter hardiness, it performs reliably in demanding UK public and urban sites, making it well aligned to projects where robust vertical structure must cope with wind and cold in northern regions. Development typically follows a practical arc of root establishment in year one, canopy and cane build in year two, and full ornamental impact from year three. Despite its very low disease tolerance and need for regular treatments, the dense flowering display, remontant habit and exhibition-level presentation help support a premium, specialist climber offer within thematic rose gardens and retail-led collections, particularly where show-standard colour, fragrance awards and trained-plant impact are key expectations.
