Alsace – red landscape shrub rose – PEKtarampe
If You are looking for a reliable, unfussy shrub rose that simply blends into Your everyday garden life, Alsace is a compact, easy-to-place landscape rose that settles well even in Irish conditions with humid summers and heavy soils that need careful drainage. Its bushy, rounded shape and dense, dark green foliage quickly fill out a border, creating a neat, low hedge or edging without complicated pruning. Masses of small, ruby-red, single blooms appear in generous clusters, then repeat well through the season, so Your beds rarely look bare. As an own-root plant it forms its final shrub shape where You plant it, giving long-term stability, tidy self-shedding flowers and steady colour for family gardens. In the first year it builds roots, in the second it strengthens its shoots, and by the third year it shows its full ornamental potential.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front-garden edging along paths or driveways
Compact, bushy growth and balanced height make Alsace ideal for low edging that frames paths without overwhelming smaller spaces while giving a structured, easy-care look for beginners
Small rose groups of 3–5 plants in beds
Planting a small group creates a rounded, continuous ruby-red effect from repeated flowering, giving strong colour focus in modest front gardens without relying on complex planting plans for busy homeowners
Mixed borders with perennials and herbs
The dense, dark green foliage forms a calm backdrop for companion plants like salvia or scabious, letting You weave roses into cottage-style borders that stay visually tidy across the season for cottage-garden fans
Low, informal flowering hedge around a lawn or patio
Regular spacing at 55–65 cm creates a soft, flowered boundary; the evenly bushy habit gives a relaxed hedge feel that defines family spaces while remaining easy to maintain for family gardeners
Pollinator-friendly front beds near entrances
The single, open flowers with accessible stamens draw bees and other insects, so an otherwise simple planting beside a door or gate gains gentle wildlife interest without extra effort for nature lovers
Urban gardens exposed to Atlantic winds
The sturdy, landscape-shrub constitution and adaptable own-root system help it cope with breezier, wetter Irish settings and soil that needs good management for excess moisture for coastal gardeners
Containers on patios, balconies and terraces
In a minimum 40–50 litre container, its rounded habit, repeat flowering and self-cleaning blooms give reliable colour through the season with straightforward watering and feeding for patio owners
Long-term planting in family gardens
As an own-root shrub, Alsace gradually forms a stable, full bush that recovers well after trimming, giving many years of dependable structure and colour with modest seasonal care for long-term planners
Decorating ideas
Cottage Ruby Edge – line a front path with Alsace and interplant low lavender or catmint for a soft, country-garden feel – ideal for cottage-garden fans
Red Welcome Border – place a trio near the front door with white hydrangeas behind for a welcoming, easy-care entrance – suited to busy homeowners
Pollinator Ribbon – mix Alsace with meadow sage and small scabious in a sunny strip to create a bee-friendly ribbon of colour – perfect for nature lovers
Patio Focal Pot – one plant in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot, underplanted with trailing thyme, gives season-long colour on terraces – great for patio owners
Family Play-Lawn Frame – use a loose row of Alsace as a low hedge edging a family lawn, keeping play areas visually framed yet open – helpful for family gardeners
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Modern shrub (landscape shrub) rose from the NIRPAYSAGE collection; registered as PEKtarampe and marketed as Alsace, a compact bed and landscape rose for garden and urban use.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Paul Pekmez for NIRP International in France, with registration in 1992; parentage is unknown, but selection focused on landscape use and mass-planting suitability.
Growth and structure
Bushy, rounded shrub reaching about 85–115 cm in height and spread; moderately thorny shoots carry dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, forming a full, uniform low shrub.
Flower morphology
Small single, cup-shaped flowers, typically 5–12 petals, borne in clusters; remontant habit with good repeat, producing an especially abundant second flush after the first flowering.
Colour and phenology
Flowers open vivid ruby red, then mellow through medium-deep to warm raspberry red; colour retention is very good, with a subtle fiery glow in full sun before the blooms fade.
Fragrance and aroma
Fragrance is very weak and barely perceptible, with a light floral character only noticeable at close range; chosen more for visual effect and structure than for scent in the garden.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose hips form only sparsely; where present they are small, spherical, about 8–12 mm across, and red in colour, adding minor late-season interest without seeding excessively.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), but very susceptible to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, so regular preventive plant protection is advisable.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with well-drained soil; spacing 55–65 cm for hedging or mass planting, 100 cm as specimen; maintenance needs are high due to disease susceptibility, requiring monitoring.
Alsace offers compact structure, repeat ruby-red flowering and long-term, own-root resilience for family gardens, giving You a stable, easy-to-place shrub rose that rewards simple, regular care if You would like a dependable choice.

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.
