PARIS – pink nostalgia rose – Kimura
This nostalgic shrub rose brings a romantic touch to compact front gardens, with soft pastel blooms that sit on a tidy, bushy framework ideal for smaller borders and cottage-style planting. Medium height and balanced structure make it straightforward to position in narrow beds or along paths, while its clearly scented, softly spicy fragrance is noticeable without overwhelming seating areas. The long-lasting, fully double flowers invite close inspection and are superb for cutting, offering season-long display with an abundant second flush when you follow simple, occasional deadheading. Its own-root form settles gradually, giving steady, long-term presence and reliable regrowth after harder winters. Once planted with reasonable drainage in heavier soils, it establishes securely even in breezier, wetter sites, providing good anchoring and dependable performance. Over time you see the classic development arc of strong roots in the first year, bushing-up shoots in the second, and full ornamental impact by the third season for an easy-care yet characterful rose.

Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal shrub
The bushy, medium-height habit forms a compact, well-rounded shrub that sits neatly near entrances and bay windows without overwhelming the space. Its long-term presence suits those planning a stable, classic front garden structure, especially beginners.
Small mixed cottage border
Soft pastel flowers blend easily with perennials and grasses, while the tidy structure keeps borders looking ordered rather than overgrown. Over several seasons the plant matures into a consistent framework that works well in relaxed yet coherent designs for cottage-gardeners.
Cutting patch in a family garden
Abundantly produced, fully double blooms with medium, spicy rose fragrance make this variety ideal for home-cut arrangements. The remontant habit ensures repeat stems through summer when modest feeding and watering are provided, rewarding homeowners.
Specimen near seating or patio
The clearly perceptible yet gentle fragrance and moderate size allow it to be placed close to benches or terraces without dominating the area. Long-lasting flowers encourage relaxed viewing and enjoyment over many summers for garden-lovers.
Low, tidy rose hedge
Regular, bushy growth and recommended spacing allow a low, semi-formal hedge that defines paths or driveways while remaining easy to maintain with straightforward annual pruning. Own-root resilience supports a durable planting line for planners.
Feature plant in heavy-soil borders
Once established with sensible drainage, it copes reliably in typical British clay borders, where its anchoring root system and stable bush form help it ride out wind and rain with minimal staking, appealing to time-poor gardeners.
Own-root long-term rose bed
Because it grows on its own roots, the shrub rebuilds well after harder pruning and maintains its shape without graft-related issues, making it an excellent choice for long-lived rose beds intended to mature gracefully for families.
Large container on terrace or drive
In a 40–50 litre or larger container with regular watering, it develops into a structured, flowering feature that softens paved areas, giving fragrance and nostalgia where border space is limited, which particularly suits busy urban residents.
Styling ideas
Cottage-duo – Combine with low yarrow and blue globe thistle for a gentle pink-and-blue cottage palette with clear structure – ideal for lovers of traditional front gardens.
Pastel-ribbon – Plant as a low hedge along a path, underplanting with soft grasses for a calm, ordered border – suitable for homeowners wanting tidy but romantic edges.
Patio-focus – Grow in a large 50 litre container by seating, pairing with scented herbs for layered fragrance – perfect for compact urban terraces.
Classic-centrepiece – Use a single shrub in a small circular bed, framed by lavender or nepeta, to create a simple focal point – good for beginners wanting easy structure.
Front-mix – Weave groups of three plants into a mixed front border with ceanothus and perennials, balancing reliable form with soft colour – aimed at design-conscious amateurs.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Shrub nostalgia rose marketed as PARIS – Romantic Rose – Kimura; part of the Romantic Rose collection, used both as a garden shrub and for home cutting, sold here as an own-root plant.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Takunori Kimura in Japan, introduced in 2013 through Keihan Hirakata Nursery; parentage is not recorded, but selection emphasised nostalgic bloom form and garden adaptability.
Growth and structural characteristics
Forms a bushy, well-branched shrub around 70–95 cm high and 50–75 cm wide, with mid-green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickles, suitable for small borders or low hedging.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, fully double rosette blooms with over 40 petals, borne mainly solitarily; remontant, with a generous second flush given reasonable feeding and watering through the season.
Colour data and phenology
Pale pastel pink with creamy undertones, ARS pb, RHS 65C outer and 62D inner; flowers open from whitish buds, gradually fading to creamy white with only a light pink tinge remaining.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, clearly noticeable scent combining classic rose notes with a soft spicy character; best appreciated near paths, seating, or as cut stems brought indoors for arrangements.
Hip characteristics
Hip set is generally sparse; where present, small spherical orange-red hips, around 8–12 mm, may appear late in the season and add discreet seasonal interest without dominating the shrub.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately –26 to –23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4) with medium resistance to black spot, mildew, and rust; benefits from routine care and basic preventive hygiene.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions with reasonably drained soil; plant 50–60 cm apart in groups or hedges, around 100 cm as a specimen, and support health with occasional pruning and plant protection.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PARIS – pink nostalgia rose - Kimura
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Semi-double (13–25 petals) flowers moderately attract pollinators, as the semi-double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit their attractiveness.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers usually conceal the stamens, so it only moderately attracts pollinators and is primarily an ornamental variety.

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.
