VILLAGE DE SAINT YRIEIX – lilac hybrid tea rose – PANcity
Premium own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of VILLAGE DE SAINT YRIEIX offers a compact, bushy habit with dense, glossy foliage that supports uniform, high-grade crop stands for UK nursery and wholesale systems. Its XL, double lavender-lilac flowers with powerful, long-lasting fragrance and a distinctive colour-fading effect fit an exclusive finished-product profile where flower quality and form are central. Supplied bush-trained with 3–5 strong canes, it is well suited to a premium container route in 5–7 L pots, and can also be stepped up into 40–50 litre units for show-garden or collection work. Own-root production supports long-term stability, predictable regrowth and low replacement, which is advantageous for thematic rose gardens and collection beds exposed to winter and wind in northern UK regions. With moderate disease tolerance and medium maintenance needs, it lends itself to professional programmes where plant protection is planned but not excessive. As with most own-root roses, commercial performance builds progressively—roots in year one, structural shoots in year two, and full ornamental expression in year three—providing a reliable base for collection, retail and project ranges. The cultivar’s French-bred heritage and lilac hybrid tea character help nurseries underpin higher-value, exhibition-oriented and cut-flower style offerings.
