Valentina™ Freska® BOZvalfre – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL propagation material
Premium own-root Valentina™ Freska® provides a stable, medium-vigour framework for reliable hybrid tea production where predictable flower quality and distinctive bicolour colour patterning matter for retail and reseller channels. As a rooted cutting in the pharmaROSA® NEONATAL range, it is suited to efficient tray handling, onward propagation, and a premium container route into 5–7 L pots for exclusive finished product positioning. Its upright, moderately dense foliage supports clear presentation of the cup-shaped blooms, while H7-rated winter hardiness offers dependable performance even in colder UK nursery locations, making it suitable for Scotland and North England where winter and wind tolerance are important. Own-root structure underpins long-term crop stability, with Year 1 root establishment, Year 2 framework development and Year 3 full ornamental value supporting consistent border, specimen and cut-flower offers in thematic rose gardens and collection plantings.
