WARVICK™ Castle® POUlcas072 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
As a bedding floribunda from the Castle® collection, WARVICK™ Castle® POUlcas072 provides a compact, bushy framework that suits standard-container production in 2–3 L, creating coherent, reliable ranges for retail and reseller partners. Its XL, double, clustered blooms deliver strong visual impact and a refined, mid‑pink colour range that fades attractively, ideal where consistent aesthetic quality and predictable branching are required for border and terrace lines. On own roots, the cultivar’s medium maintenance profile combines with professional production advantages such as long‑term stability, regenerative capacity and homogeneous stands, supporting reduced replacement in nursery networks operating under Scotland and North England conditions with reliable winter and wind tolerance. With moderate disease resistance and H7 hardiness, it offers a practical base for border and container programmes, while the remontant flowering and mild, fresh‑fruity fragrance add sales‑relevant detail without complicating crop management. Rooted at 3–6 months for onward propagation, it integrates smoothly into large‑scale workflows and can underpin thematic collections and show gardens where a dependable portfolio of own‑root floribundas is required over successive seasons, moving from root establishment through structural build‑up to full ornamental expression by the third year.

Bred in Denmark in 2021 by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen for Poulsen Roser A/S, with Poulsen Roser A/S also the initial distributor; detailed parentage and introduction year not provided. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy habit with dense, dark green, glossy foliage, moderately thorny stems and a compact framework; height approximately 65–95 cm with 55–85 cm spread; self-cleaning intensity and behaviour not provided. |
| Flower morphology |
Double-flowered blooms with 26–39 petals, XL size from around 3.5 inches upwards; cupped flower form borne in clusters of 3–5 per stem; remontant with an abundant second flowering, suitable for ongoing display. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Overall mid-pink tone with warm undertone; buds peach–salmon with creamy rims; newly opened blooms peach–coral lightening to pink, then fading through powder pink to pastel, whitish-pink outer petals; colour retention level rated good. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild yet perceptible scent with a fresh, fruity character; double 26–39-petalled flowers partially conceal stamens, making it primarily ornamental with only limited attraction for pollinating insects under typical garden conditions. |
| Hip characteristics |
Due to the full double flower form, hip set is expected to be limited; where present, hips are ellipsoidal, around 10–14 mm in diameter and orange-red in colour, with minimal relevance for most production scenarios. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, aligning with a medium maintenance rating and occasional plant protection use; hardiness approximately −21 to −18 °C, rated RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3 and USDA Zone 6b for cold climates. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for borders, containers, terraces and limited cut-flower use; best produced as bush-trained, compact plants in standard containers, mainly 2–3 L; maintenance requirement medium, with periodic plant protection interventions advised. |
