Kizuna Les Provençelles® MASkizu – apricot nostalgic shrub rose
With its richly petalled, romantic blooms and strong, lingering fragrance, Kizuna brings a classically elegant presence to family gardens that favour visual impact over detailed horticultural work. Large, very full flowers in soft apricot and peach tones open in generous flushes, creating a cottage mood that suits traditional front gardens and mixed borders alike. Once settled, its upright, well-branched structure holds dense, glossy foliage, giving a tidy look that is easy to combine with perennials and shrubs. As an own-root plant, it develops steadily for a long garden life, with roots establishing first, then stronger shoots, and by the third year a full display of nostalgic character. Its repeat-flowering habit rewards even occasional care with further waves of colour through the season, while the warm-toned palette blends effortlessly into existing schemes. Ideal for creating sheltered corners that cope well with typical British rain and wind when grown in well-drained soil or raised beds, it is equally at home as a fragrant specimen near paths, seating areas or entrances, where you can best enjoy its distinctive colour transitions from deep apricot buds to pastel peach blooms.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal point
Planted as a single shrub by a gate, path or doorway, Kizuna’s large, very full apricot blooms and upright habit create an immediate focal point with classic charm and structure for aesthetics-focused beginners
Cottage-style mixed border
The soft peach-pink colour, nostalgic flower form and strong rose scent suit traditional mixed borders with perennials, where its romantic character weaves naturally into cottage-style compositions for lovers-of-classic-planting
Small rose group (3–5 plants)
In a group planting, its repeat flowering and generous second flush give a long season of colour, forming a coherent block of pastel tones that reads as one elegant mass for owners-of-small-beds
Near seating or terrace
The strong, long-lasting fragrance is best appreciated close to benches, patios or evening seating, where repeated blooms provide a scented backdrop and a sense of calm for urban-relaxation-gardeners
Specimen in a large container
Grown alone in a 40–50 litre container, its upright, compact spread and dense foliage give a neat, self-contained shrub that moves easily with you on terraces or paved front gardens for balcony-and-patio-gardeners
Structured family border
The clear, upright shrub form and glossy, dark foliage help anchor looser planting schemes, bringing year-on-year framework and visual stability in small to medium family gardens for practical-home-owners
Sheltered raised bed by the house
Positioned in a raised bed with good drainage near walls, it copes better with wet spells and remains visually tidy, making it easier to manage in typical British rain and breezy conditions for weather-aware-gardeners
Long-term feature planting
As an own-root shrub, it builds a durable framework that regenerates from the base, making it well suited to long-lived plantings where you want a stable nostalgic presence for long-horizon-planners
Styling ideas
Cottage Harmony – Combine Kizuna with garden pinks and airy grasses to echo its romantic form and fragrance – ideal for lovers of soft, traditional borders.
Pastel Focus – Use three shrubs together in front of dark evergreens so their large flowers stand out as a clear focal block – suited to small-garden owners seeking structure.
Scented Entrance – Flank a front path with paired plants, where strong perfume and nostalgic bloom shape welcome visitors – perfect for house-proud homeowners.
Terrace Feature – Grow one shrub in a 50 litre container with trailing sedum at the base to soften the pot and highlight its compact frame – good for patio and balcony gardeners.
Romantic Mix – Weave Kizuna through a border with penstemons and other dusky perennials so its peach tones and full blooms bring continuity – attractive to fans of layered cottage schemes.
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Shrub rose from the Les Provençelles collection; registered as MASkizu, marketed as Kizuna, with American Rose Society exhibition name Kizuna for show and catalogue use.
Origin and breeding
Bred in France by Dominique Massad from ‘Versigny’ × ‘Jocelyne Salavert’; registered in 2012 and first commercially noted in Central Europe from 2013 via Pétales de Roses.
Growth and structural characteristics
Upright shrub 100–140 cm tall, 50–80 cm wide, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickles, forming a well-filled, vertical accent for borders or specimen use.
Flower morphology
Very full, rosette-shaped blooms with 40+ petals, borne in corymbs; extra-large flowers repeat well, giving a strong second flush after the main display when conditions are favourable.
Colour data and phenology
Pastel peach-yellow to salmon tones, deep apricot in bud, lightening to peach-pink and beige; colour holds well, though strong sun may gently soften shades without harsh fading.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, classic rose fragrance with long-lasting effect around the plant; densely petalled flowers mainly ornamental, with limited value for pollinators due to covered stamens.
Hip characteristics
Produces few hips; small 8–12 mm ellipsoid fruits ripen orange-red, decorative at close range but not a major feature compared with the showy nostalgic blooms.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; requires regular protection and care, but is reliably hardy to about −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, roughly USDA Zone 5b, Swedish Zone 4).
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with good air circulation, fertile, well-drained soil and consistent watering; plant 50–85 cm apart depending on use, and maintain a preventive disease-control programme.
Kizuna Les Provençelles® MASkizu rewards you with romantic pastel blooms, strong fragrance and a stable own-root shrub that matures into a long-lived feature, making it a thoughtful choice for your next garden planting.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
KIZUNA – apricot nostalgic rose - Massad
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Meaning of Cultivar Name:
The name in Japanese means “bond, togetherness”, and refers to solidarity with the victims of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double-flowered (26–39 petals), its blooms have reduced stamen accessibility and therefore attract few pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Double flowers with 26–39 petals partially cover the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited; primarily an ornamental variety.
Heat and Drought Tolerance Description:
According to the cultivar descriptions, it blooms reliably even in warm conditions; during prolonged drought it requires watering.
Maintenance Requirement:
Maintenance requirement high; due to its poor disease resistance, regular plant protection measures and frequent interventions are necessary.

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.
