FELIDAÉ™ – peach nostalgia rose – Schultheis & Bennett
This Romantica shrub rose brings together peach tones, classic rosette blooms and a fragrance that easily fills a small garden. Its upright, bushy habit and dense foliage create a tidy, vertical accent that suits traditional British front gardens and cottage-style borders, even where you occasionally face stronger winds from more coastal weather. Large, double flowers repeat well through the season, rewarding regular deadheading with generous rebloom and a steady show of colour for cutting and display. As an own-root plant it is bred for long-term renewal in one place, gradually forming a well-anchored, resilient shrub; think of Year 1 for roots, Year 2 for structure, and Year 3 for full ornamental impact.
Freshly opened FELIDAÉ™ bloom in peach, apricot and cream tones.
Felidaé™ in closed bud, showing a cream-ivory base with a deeper apricot-gold flush.
Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Feature shrub near the front door
The strong, classic damask scent carries well around paths and entrances, so a single bush by the front door can perfume daily comings and goings while remaining easy to reach for deadheading and care – ideal for the homeowner.
Romantic cottage-style bed
Full, rosette blooms in peach‑cream shades give a soft, nostalgic feel that blends naturally with cottage perennials, helping you achieve a traditional look without complex planting plans – perfect for the cottage-gardener.
Small rose border in a family garden
The upright, moderately tall bush helps build vertical structure in a narrow border, forming a clear backdrop to lower plants while still fitting comfortably into typical suburban plot sizes – reassuring for the beginner.
Cutting row or cutting corner
Large, double blooms on sturdy stems are well suited to cutting for vases, so even a short row or a corner in the border can supply classic, sweetly scented flowers for the house across the season – appealing to the flower-lover.
Mixed shrub and perennial border
Dense, dark green foliage and a bushy outline allow this rose to knit visually with shrubs and long-flowering perennials, giving a more mature, layered border effect in average UK gardens – useful for the planner.
Container on terrace or patio (large pot)
In a well-drained container of at least 40–50 litres it becomes a scented focal point for seating areas, with its upright habit and repeat-flowering nature making good use of limited hardstanding space – convenient for the balcony-owner.
Small group planting for impact
Planting 3–5 bushes together at the recommended spacing creates a rounded, billowing effect of peach-toned blooms, quickly giving a finished look in new beds and front gardens exposed to changeable coastal breezes – helpful to the stylist.
Specimen in a sunny lawn pocket
Placed alone in a sunny lawn opening, its height, repeat flowering and strong scent ensure it reads clearly as a focal plant, while the own-root character supports long-term stability and recovery after pruning – reassuring for the long-term-gardener.
Styling ideas
Cottage-duo – Combine Felidaé™ with Russian sage for a misty blue backdrop that sets off the peach rosettes – suited to lovers of soft, romantic borders.
Front-edge – Place as a central feature behind low evergreen groundcover such as Euonymus fortunei ’Minimus’ to keep the base neat – ideal for tidy front gardens.
Warm-hues – Underplant with red-toned Persicaria for a warm colour story that carries from summer into autumn – for gardeners who enjoy rich, nostalgic palettes.
Patio-focus – Grow one plant in a large clay pot with airy grasses in nearby containers to contrast structure and movement – perfect for compact terrace spaces.
Heritage-mix – Mix with traditional perennials like lavender and hardy geraniums to echo heritage rose gardens on a smaller scale – appealing to fans of classic designs.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Felidaé™ Romantic rose, shrub nostalgia type; current trade name Felidaé™ Romantic rose Schultheis & Bennett; ARS exhibition name not recorded; collection: Romantic rose, shrub rose exhibition class.
Origin and breeding
Romantica shrub rose bred in Germany in 2001, attributed to Heinrich Schultheis, with historic parentage ‘Mabel Morrison’ × ‘E.Y. Teas’; exact breeding institution and introduction date not fully documented.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright shrub 100–150 cm tall and 70–110 cm wide, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; self-cleaning is weak, so spent blooms usually require manual removal for best display.
Flower morphology
Large, double rosette blooms (approximately 7–10 cm) with 26–39 petals, borne mainly singly on stems; flowers repeat well after the main flush, giving a notable second flowering period in suitable conditions.
Colour data and phenology
Peach to cream gradient with apricot and butter-yellow tones, coded ARS MP, RHS 57C outer and 57B inner; newly opened buds show apricot‑peach centres, gradually fading towards cream and almost ivory edges in strong sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, garden-filling classic damask scent, noticeable even in light breezes; particularly effective near paths, seating or entrances and suitable for enjoying as cut flowers indoors in vases or small arrangements.
Hip characteristics
Rosehip formation is generally low due to the double flower form; occasional small spherical hips 9–15 mm across may develop, coloured red‑orange and adding a subtle late-season decorative accent when present.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately –21 to –18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b); disease resistance is modest, with susceptibility to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so regular monitoring and plant protection are advised.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with average watering, avoiding prolonged drought; suit planting distances of 55–100 cm depending on use; works as specimen, in beds, hedging, or larger containers when provided with consistent care.
Felidaé™ Romantic rose offers richly scented peach rosettes, repeat flowering and a stable own-root shrub form that matures gracefully in family gardens, making it a considered choice if you seek a long-lived, characterful rose.
Closed Bud:
Cream–ivory base with a deeper apricot–gold flush in the centre.
Newly Opened Flower:
The inner petals are a light apricot–peach cream tone, the outer circle is butter‑yellow/ivory with delicate yellowish highlights.
Full Bloom:
In the centre honey‑gold–apricot, fading gradually outward to cream–buttery yellow, with a slight pink–salmon iridescence visible on the outer petals in shadow.
Before Fading:
The yellowish–apricot centre lightens to straw‑yellow cream, the edges fading to almost ivory.
Colour Fading Description:
As the flower opens it fades to a creamy colour; in strong sunlight it lightens further.
Pollinator Attraction:
The double (26–39 petals) flower form makes it less attractive to pollinators, as fully double blooms commonly conceal the stamens and limit access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Double (26–39-petalled) flowers partially cover the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited and it is primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Rosehip formation is expected to be limited because of the double flowers; occasionally spherical, red‑orange rosehips 9–15 mm in diameter will form.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
