SEBASTIAN SCHULTHEIS – pink hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Professional own-root propagation material of SEBASTIAN SCHULTHEIS offers a reliable hybrid tea option for nurseries seeking an exclusive finished product with strong disease performance, low maintenance needs and high-end flower quality for premium containers. This upright, bush-trained form with 3–5 strong framework canes supports efficient bench organisation and predictable shaping into 5–7 L premium stock, well suited to retail and reseller channels. Its hardy structure endures cooler UK production sites and exposed schemes, supporting nationwide supply where winter and wind tolerance are important in long-term planting projects. Own-root material develops from root establishment in year one, structural shoot build-up in year two, and full ornamental value from year three, giving a long-lived, regenerating foundation for collection, park and specimen use. With a classic shrub-like presence and fragranced, repeat-flowering, coral-pink blooms, this cultivar fits premium ranges in thematic rose gardens and curated retail assortments, helping you build a differentiated portfolio with sustainable own-root longevity.
