FESTIVAL DES JARDINS DE C. – apricot-pink nostalgic rose - Massad
If You dream of a romantic rose that simply fits into everyday Irish gardens, FESTIVAL DES JARDINS DE C. offers a beautifully bushy shrub with nostalgic, rosette blooms in a warm peach-pink shade that gradually softens to pastel tones. Its dense foliage and compact size make it ideal for front beds and cottage-style borders where You want something reliable, but still charming and special. As an own-root shrub, it forms a stable framework that recovers well over the years and suits those who prefer low fuss, even where soils are heavy and need a bit of care for drainage. The large, very full flowers appear in clusters, repeat well through the season and bring a romantic atmosphere close to paths, doors and windows. With a rich, far-carrying scent, it works as a feature near seating areas, and the generous stems cut well for indoor vases. In a 2-litre pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL pot, the plant is already rooted and easy to handle: You plant it, water it and let it build roots in year one, push stronger shoots in year two and reach its full flowering potential by year three. Suitable for medium maintenance routines, it appreciates sun, regular watering in dry spells and light deadheading to keep the next wave of blooms coming for many seasons.

Product Identification Data
Product Name:
FESTIVAL DES JARDINS DE C. – apricot-pink nostalgic rose - Massad
Product Type:

Self-Cleaning Description:
Descriptions do not mention it; because of its very full blooms, spent flowers often remain on the stem and require subsequent cleaning.
Pollinator Attraction:
The flowers are moderately attractive to pollinators; attraction is influenced by the flower form (simple, semi-double or double) and by how accessible the stamens are, with more open forms and easily accessible stamens increasing appeal.

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.
