Vichy® Grands Parfums DELuros – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Fragrance and romantic flower quality define Vichy® within premium own-root production, offering a bushy, upright shrub with dense foliage suited to 5–7 L containers and high-end nostalgic ranges. As tray-grown pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material, these 3–6-month-old rooted cuttings provide a predictable base for nursery networks and collection projects where cultivar identity and long-term stability matter. The remontant, cluster-flowered habit supports cut stem use and repeat colour in borders, while own-root architecture underpins renewable growth and stable stands in longer production cycles. In typical UK nursery conditions, it responds well to planned irrigation and medium maintenance regimes, fitting exclusive retail / reseller positioning focused on flower form and scent. Over a natural arc from root establishment in year one, structural framework in year two and full ornamental expression in year three, you can align cropping and release windows to premium, fragrance-led ranges, while benefiting from secure supply designed for high-volume, professional propagation needs, including sites exposed to regular winter cold and strong winds.
