Lolit Climbing rose pharmaROSA® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Vertical installations and collection plantings benefit from Lolit’s compact climber structure, upright 120–200 cm framework and dense, glossy foliage that takes training cleanly on arches, gates and fences. The medium-sized, double, raspberry-pink to lilac rosette blooms deliver a distinctive colour effect that matures towards powdery rose-grey, giving long viewing interest in thematic and show garden contexts where character roses are required. Own-root NEONATAL material provides a stable base for nursery propagation beds and container grow-on, supporting homogeneous batches, predictable quality and lower replacement over multi-year production. Across UK conditions it performs reliably in colder, exposed sites with good winter and wind tolerance, fitting public-realm and institutional supply chains. Delivered as staked, pre-trained young plants with 3–5 main canes, Lolit aligns well with a trained climber route into 5–7 L target pots and further step-up into larger structural containers where needed. From this propagation platform You can plan scalable wholesale supply, coordinate logistics and align with retail / reseller positioning focused on exclusive, space-defining features. With Year 1 concentrating on root establishment, Year 2 on structural shoot development and Year 3 expressing full ornamental value, Lolit offers a manageable, predictable trajectory for professional scheduling.
