FELIDAÉ™ – peach nostalgia rose – Schultheis & Bennett

If You dream of a romantic, cottage-style front garden without complicated routines, FELIDAÉ™ offers generously petalled, peach-cream blooms and a garden-filling fragrance in an easy-to-manage shrub that suits family spaces. Its own-root habit supports gradual, long-term renewal, quietly rebuilding after pruning or weather damage and keeping its sentimental charm for many years. You get a classic, upright shrub for narrow beds and paths that copes well with Ireland’s often cool, damp summers and the challenges of frequent rainfall and lingering moisture. Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot, remove spent flowers occasionally, and enjoy reliable repeat flowering through the season. In year one it concentrates on roots, in year two on stronger shoots, and by year three it shows its full ornamental value with richly scented, nostalgia-style blooms that feel at home in both rural cottages and neat urban front gardens.


Freshly opened Felidaé™ bloom in soft apricot-peach and buttery ivory tones.
Felidaé™ closed bud with a cream-ivory base and apricot-gold centre.

Use cases

Target area Reason
Front garden focal shrub near the entrance The upright, medium-tall habit and dense foliage make FELIDAÉ™ ideal as a welcoming focal point beside a gate or path, where You can appreciate its changing peach-cream tones and strong damask fragrance at close range, especially suitable for homeowners
Romantic cottage-style mixed border The nostalgic rosette flowers blend beautifully with perennials and grasses, while the own-root plant forms a stable framework that matures steadily over several seasons, suiting those who like gardens that improve naturally over time, particularly beginners
Small group planting of 3–5 roses in a front bed Planted at recommended spacing, small groups create a continuous block of colour with repeating flushes; own-root plants regenerate well from the base, so the planting keeps its structure and ornamental value for many years, reassuring for families
Feature rose for scented evening seating areas The very strong, garden-filling perfume makes this an excellent choice near a bench or patio, where You can enjoy the classic rose scent after work without needing a large border or complex scheme, appealing to busy urbanites
Cut flower source for indoor arrangements Large, double rosette blooms on straight stems suit short vases and nostalgic bouquets; repeat flowering means regular picking through summer without sacrificing garden display, attractive for those who love bringing flowers indoors, mainly enthusiasts
Decorative specimen in a large container In a 40–50 litre pot with good drainage FELIDAÉ™ becomes a portable, perfumed accent for patios or balconies, especially where soil is poor or paved, balancing easy access for care with long-lived structure, convenient for space-limited gardeners
Rose bed in heavy, moisture-retentive Irish soils When planted slightly raised with improved drainage, this shrub fits well into typical Irish clay gardens, coping reliably with cool, damp spells and long periods of wet weather that keep foliage moist, a practical choice for cautious starters
Long-term planting in family gardens As an own-root shrub it thickens from the base and can be refreshed by harder pruning if needed, so the planting remains attractive without frequent replacement, offering a slower, low-drama development that suits patient planners

Decorating ideas

  • COTTAGE FRONT TRIO – Plant FELIDAÉ™ with lavender and catmint along a low front fence for a soft, pastel cottage feel – ideal for lovers of relaxed, romantic entrances
  • PEACH AND SILVER PATIO – Combine in a large container with trailing thyme at the rim and a backdrop of potted rosemary and Perovskia for shimmering contrast – suited to balcony or small-terrace gardeners
  • EVENING SCENT CORNER – Place near a bench with white hydrangeas and soft grasses so the creamy blooms glow at dusk while fragrance surrounds the seat – perfect for those who unwind outdoors after work
  • HERITAGE ROSE BORDER – Mix with old-style pink and white shrub roses plus foxgloves for a heritage garden look that evolves gently over the years – appealing to traditional rose collectors
  • NEAT FAMILY FRONT BED – Use a small group of FELIDAÉ™ edged with low Euonymus and seasonal bedding for a tidy, easy-care front bed – great for busy families wanting reliable kerb appeal

Technical cultivar profile
Parameter Data
Name and registration Felidaé™ Romantic rose Schultheis & Bennett is a Romantica shrub nostalgia rose, marketed within the Romantic rose collection for garden and cut-flower use; registration data trace back to 2001 and earlier heritage lines.
Origin and breeding Derived from the old cultivars Mabel Morrison and E.Y. Teas, bred in Germany and linked to Heinrich Schultheis and Henry Bennett, blending classic heritage character with modern garden performance for decorative shrub plantings.
Growth and structure Upright shrub reaching about 100–150 cm high with 70–110 cm spread, moderately thorny stems and dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, forming a full, leafy framework well suited to beds, borders and specimen roles.
Flower morphology Large, double rosette flowers with 26–39 petals, mostly solitary on stems, providing a traditional, full bloom look; repeats well with a strong second flush when deadheaded and given suitable feeding and watering.
Colour and phenology Cream and peach-toned petals show a romantic gradient from apricot centres to buttery cream outer petals, sometimes with salmon hints; colour softens in sun, giving varied shades across the season on repeat-flowering plants.
Fragrance and aroma Very strong, garden-filling scent with a classic damask, rose-scented character; fragrance is noticeable at a short distance in still conditions, making it especially valuable for seating areas and cut flowers indoors.
Rose hip characteristics Rosehip set is generally limited due to the double flowers, but occasional small, spherical red-orange hips 9–15 mm across may form late in the season, adding a modest additional decorative element in autumn.
Resistance and hardiness Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) but disease resistance is modest, with susceptibility to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, so regular monitoring and timely plant protection are advised.
Horticultural recommendations Best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil; avoid prolonged drought. Use in flowerbeds, as a specimen or in large containers around 40–50 litres, with regular feeding, watering and deadheading to sustain repeat flowering.

FELIDAÉ™ gives You large, scented peach-cream blooms on an upright shrub, dependable repeat flowering and long-lived, easily refreshed structure thanks to its own-root habit, making it a reassuring choice if You want beauty without complex rose care.

Fragrance and Aroma

Fragrance Strength: very strong, garden-filling scented rose
Fragrance Character: classic damask, rose-scented
Pollinator Attraction: The double (26–39 petals) flower form makes it less attractive to pollinators, as fully double blooms commonly conceal the stamens and limit access to nectar and pollen.

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.
