Thank You – Mini - dwarf rose – CHEsdeep
Compact growth, dwarf proportions and reliable repeat flowering make Thank You Mini - dwarf rose CHEsdeep a practical, own-root starting material for dense, high-turnover container ranges where finished plants must carry an instant, small-space display. Its patio suitability and low-intervention, disease-resistant foliage support efficient UK production cycles, including sites exposed to cold winds and low winter temperatures in northern regions. The cluster-flowered, semi-double, deep pink blooms with a subtle peach centre deliver an appealing, impulse-ready colour effect in 1.5–2 L lines, while the compact, dense bush form keeps crop height and bench space predictable. Own-root propagation provides long-term stability and ease of renewal in nursery beds, with predictable regrowth from roots and homogeneous stands that underpin wholesale scheduling. As with typical own-root development, roots establish strongly in year one, structural shoots consolidate in year two, and full ornamental value is achieved from year three, supporting sustainable collection and terrace assortment programmes in a wide B2B context.
