Themisto Romantic rose pharmaROSA® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Floribunda own-root propagation material of Themisto Romantic rose pharmaROSA® offers a compact, upright habit with premium flower quality suited to exclusive finished-product ranges in 5–7 L premium containers. The fully double, cup-shaped blooms with cream-white–pink colour transition create a distinctive nostalgia look that fits thematic and collection-style plantings, while H7 hardiness and Scandinavian-zone testing support reliable performance in exposed, winter-prone sites, even where wind and cold are regular factors. Strong disease resistance and low maintenance demand reduce intervention in nursery beds and retail supply chains, and the own-root base underpins long-term stock stands with stable grading and predictable regrowth as crops move from Year 1 root build-up through Year 2 shoot development to full ornamental value in Year 3.
