Pear Taste of Love® BOZedib023 – light pink culinary shrub rose
If You dream of a rose that brings beauty to the front garden and a gentle gourmet twist to Your kitchen, Pear Taste of Love® is a compact, upright shrub that fits perfectly into Irish family plots. Its pastel, light-pink blooms with a creamy undertone create a soft, romantic look in beds, edging and cottage-style borders while the petals offer a subtle, pear-like flavour for decorating salads and patisserie. The bush stays neat and well-shaped, ideally sized for smaller gardens and terraces where space must work hard. This own-root plant settles in steadily, giving long-term reliability as it adapts to Your soil and care routine in a cool, humid climate with frequent rain and heavier ground. Flowering in generous clusters, it remounts well, so You can enjoy waves of blooms for cutting and for the table. A light, delicate fragrance and self-cleaning flowers help keep the shrub looking tidy with minimal fuss, while the 2-litre pot size makes planting straightforward for beginners and busy gardeners alike. As with all own-root roses, the first year focuses on roots, the second on building strong shoots, and by the third year Pear Taste of Love® reaches its full ornamental and culinary value.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal rose bed
Compact, upright shrubs keep a neat outline, ideal for a small front garden where You want structure without tall, unruly growth. Cluster-flowered, light-pink blooms provide gentle colour near paths and drives, suiting a tidy, welcoming approach for the homeowner
Edging along paths and borders
The moderate 55–85 cm height and spread suit low edging where plants must not block views. Dense foliage forms a continuous green ribbon, while self-cleaning flowers reduce deadheading along busy walkways, a practical option for the time-poor gardener
Decorative and culinary “kitchen garden” corner
Petals have a subtle, pear-like flavour, perfect for adding seasonal colour to salads, desserts and cake decorations. Repeating flushes of blooms give a regular supply of usable petals, creating a pretty, productive corner for the home cook
Patio or terrace container planting
The naturally compact habit performs well in a large container, bringing flowers close to seating and doors. Choose a pot of at least 40–50 litres with good drainage so roots develop steadily, especially in wetter Irish weather, suiting the apartment-dweller
Small group planting in cottage-style beds
Groups of three to five shrubs create a romantic, soft pink patch that blends well with perennials and grasses. Own-root plants gradually form balanced, even bushes over the years, giving a long-lived feature for the cottage-garden lover
Part-shaded side garden border
Suitable for partial shade, it continues to flower where sun is filtered by buildings or neighbouring plants. This makes it useful for narrow side gardens typical in Irish homes, extending interest into less sunny spots for the practical planner
Cut-flower corner for the house
Large, double, cup-shaped blooms on clusters are easily harvested for small jugs and vases indoors. Regular cutting encourages further flowering, allowing You to enjoy the pastel shades both outside and on the table, appreciated by the interior enthusiast
Mixed bed with grasses and perennials
Soft pink flowers and mid-green, slightly glossy foliage combine well with airy grasses and low perennials, providing contrast in texture and colour. This balances ornamental impact with naturalistic planting in areas exposed to wind and rain for the design-conscious gardener
Decorating ideas
Cottage Pink Edging – Plant a short row along a path, interplanted with Dianthus plumarius and dwarf Heuchera for a frilly, cottage look – ideal for lovers of soft, romantic front gardens
Gourmet Patio Pot – Grow one shrub in a 40–50 litre container near the kitchen door, combining it with trailing thyme for easy cutting of petals and herbs – perfect for enthusiastic home cooks
Feather-Grass Drift – Mix small groups with Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’ so pastel blooms float above fine grasses – great for those who enjoy a light, airy, modern-cottage style
Kitchen Garden Border – Edge a vegetable or herb bed with Pear Taste of Love® to link ornamental and edible spaces – suited to family gardeners who like beauty and usefulness together
Soft Pink Cut-Flower Strip – Create a narrow strip just for cutting, combining these roses with lavender or rosemary for scented bunches – appealing to beginners who want simple, productive planting
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Trade name Pear Taste of Love® BOZedib023; registered as BOZedib023, also known as Flavorette Pear’d®. Collection Taste of Love®, commercial type flowerbed shrub rose in the bed rose group.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Biljana Božanić Tanjga and Peter Cox, PhenoGeno Roses, Temerin, Serbia. Introduced 2024, registration 2023. Distributed by Proven Winners ColorChoice / Spring Meadow Nursery and PhenoGeno Roses.
Growth and structure
Medium-sized, compact, upright shrub with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage. Typical height and spread 55–85 cm, forming a rounded, bushy plant suited to beds, edging and containers.
Flower morphology
Large, 2.75–3.95 inch double, cup-shaped flowers in clusters, with 26–30 petals. Remontant, with particularly abundant second flush. Self-cleaning habit means deadheading is not essential for continued bloom.
Colour and phenology
Soft light-pink blooms with a delicate cream undertone. Buds open powder-pink, then pastel pink with creamy edges, becoming even light pink before fading slightly in strong sun; colour holds better in moderate sunlight.
Fragrance and aroma
Light, restrained fragrance with a delicate, soft character. Suitable for gardeners who prefer a gentle scent rather than strong perfume, allowing easy use of petals in salads and patisserie without overpowering aromas.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose-hip production expected to be limited due to double flowers. When present, hips are spherical, red, around 6–10 mm in diameter, adding fine, discreet seasonal interest late in the year.
Resistance and hardiness
Very hardy shrub rose, to around −32 to −29 °C (USDA 4b, RHS H7, Swedish Zon 5). Disease tolerance is low, with high susceptibility to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, so regular plant protection is recommended.
Horticultural recommendations
Best for beds, edging, terraces, containers and cut or culinary use. Allow 40–75 cm spacing. Maintenance needs are high due to disease sensitivity; plant in well-drained soil, with consistent feeding and protection programmes.
Pear Taste of Love® BOZedib023 offers compact, romantic blooms, useful culinary petals and a long-lived, own-root shrub that settles reliably into Irish gardens, making it a thoughtful choice if You want a pretty, productive rose You can enjoy for years.
Pollinator Attraction:
The double, open cup-shaped blooms provide only moderate access to stamens and nectar, so pollinator visitation is expected to be moderate, noting that flower form (simple/semi‑double/double) and stamen accessibility strongly influence attractiveness.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its flowers moderately attract pollinators, so it is at most partially pollinator-friendly.
Maintenance Requirements:
Maintenance requirement high; very low disease tolerance means regular plant protection and frequent interventions are required.

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.
