Terra Limburgia™ ORYlila – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting for professional production
Compact plants with floribunda habit and remontant flowering make Terra Limburgia™ a practical choice for nursery container lines and border-filler ranges, while its colour stability in cooler conditions supports reliable presentation in UK-style display and collection plantings. The own-root propagation base gives long-term regenerative capacity and homogeneous blocks with low replacement, ideal for standard 2–3 L container routes and scalable nursery bed production. With medium maintenance needs and predictable H7 winter tolerance suited to exposed northern and inland sites with reliable frost-resistance and wind tolerance, you can plan multi-year stocking and repeat cropping as the plants progress naturally from root establishment in year one, to structural framework in year two, and full ornamental value from year three onward.

| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Jozef Orye in Belgium, breeding year 2004; introduced by Orye (Belgium). Parentage and breeding institution data are not provided, registration year information is not provided. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bush-trained shrub reaching around 60–90 cm in height with 36–54 cm spread; moderately dense, matte dark green foliage; moderately thorny shoots; moderate self-cleaning, occasional deadheading needed. |
| Flower morphology |
Floribunda-type, double flowers with approximately 26–39 petals; large blooms about 2.75–3.95 inches across; cup-shaped, borne mainly in clusters; remontant habit with abundant second flowering flush. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Smoky, bluish-purple-tinged pink with silvery sheen; ARS code M, RHS 75C outer and 75D inner; colour holds best in cooler conditions, fading more quickly in strong sun and heat to rose-lilac with silvery-grey overtones. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium-strength, well-scented rose fragrance; detailed scent character not provided. Double bloom form limits pollinator access, giving only modest pollinator value, primarily serving as an ornamental garden and bedding variety. |
| Hip characteristics |
Due to the double flowers, hip set is generally sparse; where formed, hips are small spherical red structures approximately 6–10 mm in diameter, adding limited but discreet late-season interest. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); moderate heat and drought tolerance, requiring irrigation in prolonged dry spells; medium overall disease resistance with good powdery mildew resistance, black spot and rust medium. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, borders, park plantings and some cut-flower use; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control; recommended as a standard container product in 2–3 L pots on a compact bush-trained framework. |
