YORKSHIRE BANK – white hybrid tea rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Hybrid own‑root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of YORKSHIRE BANK offers professional growers a compact, bushy hybrid tea base for premium container production where flower form and colour purity are decisive. This repeat‑flowering, cluster‑blooming cultivar builds dense, mid‑green foliage with remontant white blooms that hold a clean, bright tone for the duration of opening, supporting visually consistent, exhibition‑grade finished stock. As own‑root material it provides renewable growth and stable long‑term performance under nursery cropping cycles, helping to maintain homogeneous stands with low replacement in integrated supply systems even where sites face cool, exposed winters and persistent wind. With a bush‑trained release form and 3–5 strong canes, it is well suited to 5–7 L premium containers and larger 40–50 L showcase units for exclusive retail or collection use, especially in thematic rose gardens where form, purity and fragrance value need to be repeatable over years as the plant develops from rooting in year one, structural framework in year two and full ornamental effect from year three onwards.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Hybrid tea rose registered as RUIrulo, traded as YORKSHIRE BANK – white hybrid tea rose – de Ruiter; American Rose Society exhibition name YORKSHIRE BANK; pharmaROSA NEONATAL product ID [875] 21-076. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Gerrit de Ruiter, De Ruiter Sons B.V., Netherlands; cross of ‘Pascali’ × ‘Peer Gynt’; bred and introduced 1979 with initial distribution via Fryer’s Roses and Fryer’s Nurseries Ltd. in the United Kingdom. |
| Awards and recognition |
not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bushy habit 50–75 cm high and 50–70 cm spread; moderately thorny shoots with dense, slightly glossy, mid‑green foliage (RHS 137A); own‑root plants form a stable bush framework for container or bed use. |
| Flower morphology |
Double flowers with 26–39 petals, medium size (1.5–2.75 in), high‑centred hybrid tea shape with pointed buds; cluster‑flowered inflorescences; remontant with abundant second flowering; self‑cleaning weak so spent blooms may need manual removal. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pure white petals (ARS code w; RHS N155D) from bud to full bloom; bright white edges with subtle creamy sheen, only slightly fading; full bloom shows a uniform snow‑white, pearlescent effect and maintains a clean appearance without spotting. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium‑strength, clearly noticeable scent with a fresh, lively character; double flower form and reduced stamen accessibility limit pollinator attraction, so it functions primarily as an ornamental cut and garden rose rather than a nectar source. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip formation limited due to strongly double flowers; where present, spherical orange‑red hips (RHS 40A) around 8–12 mm diameter may develop sporadically, adding minor seasonal interest but not a primary production objective. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate general disease resistance with moderate powdery mildew tolerance and resistance to black spot and rust; winter hardy to approximately −15 to −12 °C (RHS H6, Swedish zone 2, USDA 7b) under typical nursery and UK landscape conditions. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds and cut‑flower use with medium maintenance needs; occasional pest and disease control recommended; best routed as a premium container product from bush‑trained NEONATAL material, with 3–5 framework canes and 5–7 L or larger final pots. |
YORKSHIRE BANK in pharmaROSA NEONATAL form combines compact bushy growth, stable snow‑white hybrid tea blooms and own‑root longevity for predictable, low‑replacement production, making it a sound option where you wish to align schedules and discuss programme capacity.
