PANVESON – mauve hybrid tea rose – PANveson
If You dream of a rose that looks instantly elegant in a small Irish front garden and gives You armfuls of cut flowers, PANVESON is made for You. This upright hybrid tea carries large, high‑centred blooms in a refined mauve shade that slowly softens to silvery lavender, adding a romantic, cottage‑style feel without overwhelming the space. The blooms are strongly and lastingly scented, ideal beside a path or near a favourite seat where You can pass and enjoy them every day. As an own‑root plant it builds a long‑lived, well‑balanced bush that can regenerate from its own base, giving stable ornamental value for many years. It copes well when the ground stays heavy after rain and with the kind of humidity that often challenges Irish gardens, provided basic spacing and airflow are respected. In the first year it concentrates on roots, in the second on stronger shoots, and by the third year it reveals its full display of florist‑quality blooms.
Use cases
| Target area |
Reason |
| Front garden focal point |
Upright, compact habit (80–120 cm) makes PANVESON ideal as a single statement rose by a gate, front step or bay window, where its mauve flowers read clearly and stay neat in an average family garden, reassuring the occasional gardener and the busy homeowner |
| Small rose bed in a family garden |
Plant 3–5 together at 60 cm spacing to create a simple, repeat‑flowering bed that looks designed without complex planning; own‑root plants gradually knit into a balanced group that copes well with typical Irish heavy, rain‑soaked soils when basic drainage is provided, giving confidence to the cautious beginner |
| Cut‑flower corner near the house |
Large, high‑centred, long‑stemmed blooms with strong, lasting fragrance are perfect for vases, so a small planting by the back door can supply elegant bunches all season, rewarding even minimal care with florist‑style flowers that feel special to the practical garden‑loving resident |
| Edging for paths and driveways |
With a 50–70 cm spread and tidy, upright growth, PANVESON lines paths or driveways without sprawling; the slightly glossy dark foliage frames the mauve flowers, giving a structured yet romantic edge that stays readable in narrow spaces for the style‑conscious gardener |
| Specimen rose in a mixed cottage border |
The unusual silvery‑mauve colour partners beautifully with perennials such as Liatris or soft pink Gypsophila, creating a relaxed cottage look while the robust own‑root framework ensures the bush keeps its place over years, suiting the long‑term‑thinking planner |
| Part‑shaded town garden bed |
Its tolerance of partial shade lets You use it where sun is limited by neighbouring houses or walls; it still repeats well, so even small urban plots gain colour and scent without needing a fully open aspect, helpful for the time‑pressed city dweller |
| Large patio container (40–50 litres minimum) |
In a generous pot of at least 40–50 litres, PANVESON becomes a moveable feature for balconies, courtyards or rented homes; own‑root growth means it adapts gradually to its container and can be repotted or replanted later, fitting the flexible modern tenant |
| Decorative hedge or low screen |
Planted at 50 cm intervals, upright plants form a low, flowering screen to mark a boundary or hide bins, with repeat mauve blooms adding softness; regular but simple protection keeps foliage presentable through humid, fungus‑prone Irish spells, reassuring the conscientious carer |

Technical cultivar profile
| Property |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Hybrid tea rose; registered cultivar name PANveson, trade name Panveson Hybrid tea rose PANveson, also exhibited as Sourire de Perigueux in shows; part of the hybrid tea rose group for garden and cutting use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in France by Bernard Panozzo and introduced in 2007 through Star de Doué; parentage is not recorded, but its form and performance follow classic exhibition hybrid tea standards. |
| Growth and structure |
Upright habit, around 80–120 cm tall and 50–70 cm wide, with moderately dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; forms a balanced, bushy framework on its own roots over time. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double, high‑centred, pointed‑bud hybrid tea blooms, usually borne singly on stems; 26–39 petals create a full, exhibition‑style flower that may benefit from light post‑bloom deadheading in family gardens. |
| Colour and phenology |
Mauve blooms opening from deep bluish‑lilac buds, shifting through greyish lilac to pastel lavender‑mauve with a silvery veil; colour retention is medium, and flowering is remontant with a notably abundant second flush. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, long‑lasting fragrance with a fresh, citrusy floral character; well suited to planting near seating areas, paths and doors where passing contact allows regular enjoyment of the scent. |
| Rose hip characteristics |
Rose hip production is usually sparse because of the full double blooms; where present, hips are small ellipsoidal red fruits about 10–14 mm in diameter. |
| Resistance and hardiness |
Fully hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b); disease resistance is moderate to low, with susceptibility to powdery mildew, black spot and especially rust, so regular protection and good airflow are advisable. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best in well‑drained yet moisture‑retentive soil with full sun or light partial shade; allow 50–90 cm per plant depending on use, and use preventative care in humid periods to maintain foliage and support reliable flowering. |
PANVESON offers large, fragrant mauve blooms, reliable repeat flowering and a long‑lived own‑root bush for years of display; a thoughtful choice if You want a beautiful, rewarding rose without complicated planning.
