PARIS – pink nostalgia rose - Kimura
Bring a touch of Parisian charm to your Irish garden with PARIS, a romantic nostalgia shrub rose bred by Kimura. Its rosette blooms open from creamy buds to pastel pink centres that gently fade to near-white, creating a soft, changing colour display that suits both modern and cottage-style beds. The medium, clearly noticeable fragrance has a softly spicy, classic rose character, perfect beside a path or near a favourite seat. Bushy, compact growth and dense foliage make it easy to fit into smaller family gardens and front borders, while its winter hardiness is well suited to gardens that experience cool, wet spells and need reliable performance despite humidity and frequent rain. As an own-root plant, PARIS offers a long garden life, steadily building a balanced, mature shrub with good structure and the ability to regenerate from its own roots. You will enjoy a remontant habit with generous rebloom, especially from mid-season onwards, ideal if You want weeks of flowers rather than a brief show. In the 2‑litre pharmaROSA ORIGINAL format it is easy to handle and plant, and over three seasons it moves from establishing roots, to building shoots, to delivering its full ornamental impact. With sensible watering and simple seasonal care, PARIS becomes a dependable, long-lived highlight in beds, small groups or as a single specimen.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal shrub
The compact, bushy structure and dense mid-green foliage create a neat, upright shrub that looks “finished” even between flushes, ideal beside a path or near the front door in an average-sized Irish garden for busy beginners
Romantic cottage-style flowerbed
Fully double, softly nostalgic rosette blooms in pale pink to creamy white bring a romantic, old-world look that blends naturally with perennials and cottage favourites, suiting those who like traditional charm with straightforward upkeep for home gardeners
Small group planting (1–5 roses)
Planting two to five PARIS bushes at the recommended spacing creates a low, harmonious rose group that fills out over three seasons, from root establishment to fuller flowering, giving a planned, gradual effect for patient planners
Cut flowers from the garden
Medium-sized, fully double, long-lasting blooms on strong stems lend themselves to cutting for vases; the pastel colouring and clearly noticeable, softly spicy fragrance suit informal arrangements and simple bouquets for flower lovers
Specimen rose near seating areas
The clearly scented, medium-strength perfume and pastel rosettes are best appreciated close-up, so a single shrub placed near a bench, patio or terrace offers repeated, personal enjoyment without dominating smaller outdoor spaces for terrace users
Mixed border with shrubs and perennials
Medium height and spread allow PARIS to sit comfortably among hydrangeas, blue globe thistle or low yarrow, giving a gentle colour transition and a long-term structural element anchored by its own-root longevity for design-conscious owners
Coastal or exposed Irish gardens
Robust shrub habit and reliable hardiness support stable performance where gardens face strong winds and frequent rain, helping the plant cope with a damp climate and persistent humidity in everyday family settings for Atlantic gardeners
Low-effort family flowerbed
Medium maintenance with remontant flowering means a good display from a simple routine of watering in dry spells, basic feeding and occasional deadheading, suiting those who want visible reward without complex schedules for time-poor gardeners
Decorating ideas
Cottage-Row Charm – Line a low front border with 3 PARIS bushes, underplanting with low yarrow and lavender for a soft, romantic cottage look – ideal for homeowners wanting welcoming kerb appeal.
Pastel Patio Focus – Grow one PARIS as a specimen in a 40–50 litre container, pairing it with trailing thyme and soft grasses for movement – good for small patios and balconies.
Evening Scent Corner – Position PARIS near a bench, with white hydrangeas and rosemary, to enjoy its clearly scented blooms on summer evenings – perfect for those who relax outdoors after work.
Mixed Meadow Edge – Combine PARIS with blue globe thistle, low yarrow and ornamental grasses at the front of a mixed bed for structure and gentle colour contrast – suited to naturalistic-style gardeners.
Romantic Entrance Pair – Plant a matched pair of PARIS on either side of a path or gate, backed with California lilac for blue contrast – ideal for families wanting an easy yet elegant entrance.

Property
Data
Name and registration
ROMANTIC ROSE collection nostalgia shrub rose; trade name PARIS, Kimura breeding. ARS approved exhibition name: Paris. Rose group: shrub; exhibition category: cut flower and garden shrub.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Takunori Kimura in Japan, with parentage unknown. Introduced in 2013 by Keihan Hirakata Nursery. Developed as a romantic-style shrub with nostalgic blooms for gardens and cutting.
Growth and structure
Bushy, compact shrub reaching about 70–95 cm in height and 50–75 cm spread. Moderately thorny shoots carry dense, slightly glossy, mid-green foliage that clothes the plant well from base to tip.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, fully double rosette blooms with 40+ petals, usually borne singly. Remontant habit with an abundant second flowering later in the season. Weak self-cleaning; spent blooms may need manual removal.
Colour and phenology
Pale pink with a subtle creamy hue. Buds whitish-rosy with powder-pink flush; freshly opened flowers show creamy outer petals and soft pink centres, then fade to creamy white with a faint pink edge.
Fragrance and aroma
Medium-strength, clearly noticeable scent with a softly spicy, classic rose character. Best appreciated at close range in still conditions, making it suitable near paths, seating areas and entrances.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip production is usually sparse; where present, hips are small, spherical, about 8–12 mm in diameter, coloured orange-red (RHS 40A), and mainly of ornamental rather than wildlife value.
Resistance and hardiness
Winter hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4). Disease resistance is medium for black spot, powdery mildew and rust; basic monitoring and timely treatments are recommended.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with well-drained soil. Recommended spacing: 60 cm for mass plantings, 50 cm for hedging, 100 cm as a specimen. Plant 2.8–3.2 plants/m² depending on layout. Water in dry spells; apply occasional plant protection.
PARIS offers romantic pastel rosettes, repeat flowering and a compact shrub habit on long-lived own-root plants that fit easily into everyday Irish gardens, making it a reassuring, low-effort choice if You would like a reliable rose.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PARIS – pink nostalgia rose - Kimura
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Semi-double (13–25 petals) flowers moderately attract pollinators, as the semi-double flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit their attractiveness.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers usually conceal the stamens, so it only moderately attracts pollinators and is primarily an ornamental variety.

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.
