CYCLAMEN PIERRE DE RONSARD ® – deep pink climbing rose – Margaret Mae
Create a romantic focal point with this ROMANTICA® climbing rose that covers arches, walls and pergolas in waves of full, deep pink blooms. The large, cup-shaped flowers appear in generous clusters from early summer, repeating well into autumn, while the glossy dark foliage remains an attractive backdrop even between flushes. Its moderate care needs suit busy gardeners who still want a long-lived feature rose, and the own-root, 2-litre plant arrives well rooted so it can gradually adapt to typical Irish gardens with heavy soil and a humid climate. Over time the bush forms a naturally balanced framework of strong canes, giving lasting structure and reliable flowering. In year one it focuses on roots, in year two it builds shoots, and by year three it reveals its full ornamental value in both summer colour and winter outline. Ideal if You prefer to plant it once, let it climb, and simply enjoy the unfolding display.

Target area
Reason
Front-garden arch or arbour near the entrance
The large, very double, deep pink blooms create an immediate sense of welcome as they repeat through the season, while the glossy foliage frames the pathway and gives the entrance lasting structure for visitors and passers-by who like a romantic look for beginners.
Wall or fence in an average-sized family garden
Its 2.4–3.6 m height and dense foliage allow it to clothe bare boundaries with a soft, flower-covered screen, giving privacy without feeling heavy, and the own-root plant gradually settles into the soil and care routine for homeowners who appreciate low-fuss, long-term planting for starters.
Rose pillar or obelisk as a vertical accent
Trained around a sturdy support, the flexible canes can be tied in to form a vertical column of colour, ideal for adding height in smaller borders where ground space is limited but You still want abundant clusters of romantic, cupped blooms for novices.
Large container on a sunny patio or balcony
In a minimum 40–50 litre container with good drainage, this climber can be grown as a statement plant, where regular watering and feeding are easy to manage and the long flowering period gives reliable colour close to seating areas for time-pressed urban gardeners who want impact with confidence.
Mixed cottage-style border with perennials
The deep pink flowers blend beautifully with airy companions such as coreopsis or baby’s-breath, and the moderate growth habit allows it to weave through other plants without overwhelming them, perfect for those seeking a soft, traditional cottage feel for enthusiasts.
Pergola walkway in exposed or coastal gardens
Once established, the sturdy framework and dense canopy help it cope with breezy sites, and it responds well where drainage is improved for wetter Irish conditions, offering dependable flowering even where Atlantic winds and frequent rain are part of life for coast-dwellers.

Planted with generous spacing, it develops an elegant, balanced structure that can be trained to show off the fullest blooms at eye level, turning everyday seating spots into a special corner without demanding complex pruning for families.
Cut-flower corner for home arrangements

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.
