Summertime Climbing rose CHEWlarmoll – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material
Sustainability and diversity are central to pharmaROSA® NEONATAL, and Summertime Climbing rose CHEWlarmoll serves professional producers as own-root propagation material specifically for space-efficient vertical features with a climbing habit and dense, dark green foliage. The variety’s AGM-recognised garden performance, reliable remontant flowering and medium-height framework make it well suited to trained climber routes in 5–7 L containers for wall, fence, pergola, trellis or post applications, supporting exclusive, space-defining retail and reseller offers. On own roots, the cultivar provides long-term structural stability, regenerative growth and predictable stands that align with nursery and integrator systems supplying thematic rose gardens and public-realm vertical schemes, including projects in cooler regions where winter and wind tolerance is a consistent requirement. In a typical professional development arc, roots establish in year one, shoots build training structure in year two, and by year three the full ornamental value of its warm creamy-yellow, soft, sweet-fruity scented clusters can be presented as a reliable finished product with low maintenance expectations and reliability for wholesale planning and logistics in a broad-based own-root portfolio.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Climbing growth habit to around 180–300 cm high with 80–140 cm spread; moderately thorny canes, dense dark green, slightly glossy foliage, suited to training on walls, fences, pergolas, trellises, posts and larger containers. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, cupped flowers with 13–25 petals of medium size (approximately 1.5–2.75 in), produced in clusters; repeats well with particularly abundant second flowering, forming a sustained vertical display on trained structures. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Light, warm creamy-yellow; newly opened blooms rich butter-yellow in the centre, fading to cream-white; RHS 4D outer and 8C inner; colour retention is good though strong sun can lighten petal edges to paler tones. |

Soft, sweet-fruity fragrance of medium strength, clearly noticeable in use; semi-double form offers moderate pollinator attraction, with partially accessible stamens but primary value as an ornamental scented climber. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose hip set is generally minimal; where present, small spherical orange-red hips around 5–9 mm in diameter can appear sporadically, but hips are not a primary ornamental or production feature for this cultivar. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness approximately –21 to –18 °C with RHS H7, Swedish zone 3 and USDA 6b suitability; moderate drought tolerance, requiring regular watering to avoid prolonged dryness. |
