TALAS – white dwarf mini rose - Győry – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Miniature own-root TALAS provides a compact, dwarf production option for nurseries seeking predictable patio and edging stock in high volumes. Its compact structure and 20–30 cm finished height align efficiently with 1.5–2 L container production and dense benching layouts, while the homogeneous own-root base supports low replacement and consistent grading. Remontant, cluster-flowered, snowy-white blooms give an instant, long-lasting visual impact suited to impulse-driven container lines and thematic white collections. Medium hardiness to H7 / USDA 6b makes it suitable for UK nursery networks where winter and wind exposure are common, allowing dependable overwintering and scheduling. Medium disease resistance keeps maintenance at a manageable level for larger blocks under standard protection regimes. Its white, creamy-toned colour range positions it well for coordinated retail benches, while the remontant flowering pattern supports continuous saleability across the season.
