Shiseido Climbing rose pharmaROSA® NEONATAL
Climbing own-root NEONATAL material of Shiseido gives you a stable, premium base for trained climber production where disease resistance, reliable remontant flowering and dense, medium-green foliage convert efficiently into saleable 5–7 L finished plants. With a height of 180–280 cm and bushy, clump-forming habit, it builds vertical structure quickly on pergolas, arches and walls, suited to UK nursery workflows supplying exclusive, space-defining, large-flowered climbers for retail and reseller partners. Own-root development follows a natural arc—roots in year one, framework shoots in year two, and full ornamental expression in year three—supporting long-lived, low-replacement stock for thematic rose collections and public-realm schemes where longevity and predictable quality matter. Its H7 hardiness offers robust performance even in colder, wind-exposed northern sites, supporting consistent supply for projects where winter and wind tolerance is important, helping you maintain homogeneous, low-intervention vertical features at wholesale scale.

| Awards and recognition |
Strong fragrance track record: Bagatelle (Paris) First Prize and Coupe du Parfum (2006); Geneva Merit Certificate (2006); Saverne Fragrance Award (2007); Nagaoka Most Fragrant Rose distinction. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Climber with bushy, clump-forming habit; height 180–280 cm, spread 80–160 cm; dense, medium-green slightly glossy foliage (RHS 137A); moderately thorny shoots providing good support adherence. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, cup-shaped, double flowers (26–39 petals) in clusters; L-sized blooms (2.75–3.95 in); remontant, with particularly abundant second flush; poor self-cleaning so spent blooms benefit from removal. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cream-coloured flowers with delicate pale cream and yellow tinge; buds with baby-pink flush; vanilla-yellow centre on opening, lightening to cream, then fading to uniform white; good overall colour retention under normal exposure. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Medium-strength, well-scented tea-fruity fragrance; strong enough for close planting and cut use; heavily double form limits nectar and pollen access, so value is predominantly ornamental and scent-driven rather than pollinator-focused. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose-hip formation limited by double flower form; occasional ellipsoidal red hips (RHS 40A), approximately 11–18 mm diameter, may develop sporadically; generally not a feature for fruiting displays or harvest. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Good general disease resistance, with resistance reported to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C; RHS hardiness H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA zone 6b; heat and drought data not provided. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for pergolas, walls, fences, arches, cut flower and specimen use; low maintenance requirement with limited intervention; finished route as trained climber in 5–7 L pots, supplied staked and pre-trained with 3–5 main canes. |
