AGNÈS SCHILLIGER – pink nostalgic rose – Massad
This romantic shrub rose offers easy beauty for busy gardeners who want reliable flowering without complicated routines. Large, very double blooms in rich pink tones appear in generous flushes, bringing a nostalgic cottage-garden feel to front beds and borders. The bushy plant stays neatly within 80–120 cm, ideal for smaller family gardens where space still matters but You would like a real feature. Strong, spicy-raspberry fragrance makes every flowering period feel special, while its repeat-blooming nature keeps colour coming back. Grown on its own roots for long life and good recovery, it is a practical choice for long-term plantings. In Ireland’s damp climate it copes well when given decent drainage on heavier soils and a reasonably sunny spot, responding with stable, long-lasting ornamental value. Planted in a 2-litre pot and well rooted, it arrives ready to settle in: in the first year it builds roots, in the second it fills out its shoots, and by the third season it reveals its full character as a mature, romantic shrub.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
