P. S. DE LUXEMBOURG™ – purple climbing rose – Orard
If You would like a romantic climbing rose that settles into Your garden without demanding complicated care, P. S. DE LUXEMBOURG™ is a dependable choice. Its velvety violet‑purple blooms and spicy‑sweet scent create a romantic focal point on arches, fences or cottage‑style walls, while the remontant habit keeps flowers returning in generous waves through the season. As an own‑root plant it builds strength gradually, giving You a long‑lived, easily renewed rose that copes well with Ireland’s damp weather and humidity‑related challenges. The dense, dark green foliage makes a handsome backdrop, even between flushes, and its good heat tolerance means it stays attractive in warmer, more sheltered spots too. Over the first three years it focuses on roots, then shoots, then full ornamental value, so You can simply plant, water and enjoy its climbing grace, colour play, enduring fragrance, reliable flowering, adaptable structure and long garden lifespan.
Semi-double flowers with 13–25 petals and a visible yellow stamen centre.
Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front‑garden climber on fence or railings
The moderate maintenance needs and reliable repeat flowering make this variety ideal where You want a welcoming front‑garden screen that does not tie You to constant pruning or spraying, especially in our wetter, fungus‑prone Irish conditions, beginners
Romantic arch or pergola near seating
A strong, long‑lasting spicy‑sweet scent and generous clusters of purple blooms give a classic, romantic feel around garden benches, paths or small pergolas where You linger, bringing evening fragrance close without requiring intensive rose‑show grooming, homeowners
Cottage‑style wall or gable end
The tall climbing habit and dense, dark green foliage create a soft, traditional backdrop that suits Irish cottage and farmhouse walls, covering bare masonry with characterful colour that matures steadily from year to year on its own roots, cottage‑gardeners
Small group planting on a sunny boundary
Planted in a loose row or group of three to five, the remontant flowering and colour‑changing blooms form an eye‑catching, low‑effort feature that looks thoughtfully designed without complex planting plans, giving dependable impact over the first few seasons, busy‑gardeners
Family seating area or patio backdrop
The semi‑double flowers offer colour and movement more than heavy petal drop, while moderate self‑cleaning means only occasional dead‑heading, so children and pets can play nearby without You constantly tidying spent blooms from furniture and paving, families
Part‑shaded urban side passage or courtyard
Its tolerance of partial shade and own‑root adaptability allow it to adjust to narrower, overshadowed spaces between houses, gradually forming a stable, leafy screen where many roses struggle, as long as soil drainage and watering are looked after, urban‑gardeners
Large container on balcony or terrace (40–50 L minimum)
In a generously sized pot with good compost and regular watering, the strong root system and repeat bloom make an impressive vertical accent for balconies or terraces, without the need for complex pruning knowledge, especially when well staked or trained, apartment‑owners
Informal flowering hedge in mixed borders
Trained loosely along wires or low supports, it forms a flowering screen that blends well with perennials and shrubs; moderate disease resistance and own‑root resilience help it cope with exposed, breezy Irish gardens where wind and moisture challenge roses, hobby‑gardeners
Decorating ideas
Cottage archway – Train along a simple metal or wooden arch, underplant with lady’s mantle and lavender for soft edging and a romantic entrance – for cottage‑style enthusiasts
Purple garden corner – Let it climb a trellis with companions like Artemisia ‘Oriental Limelight’ and hydrangeas to echo its violet tones – for colour‑coordinating planners
Family seating backdrop – Grow behind a bench, combining with low rosemary and hardy geraniums so fragrance and colour remain enjoyable but easy to manage – for relaxed family spaces
Elegant boundary screen – Space plants along a sunny fence, weaving stems on horizontal wires and mixing with Rudbeckia for a long‑season, low‑fuss display – for low‑maintenance borders
Patio statement pot – Use a 40–50 litre container with free‑draining compost, a central obelisk and trailing herbs at the base to create a smart, vertical feature – for compact urban patios

Growth and structure
Vigorous climber 260–380 cm high, 120–200 cm spread, moderately thorny canes. Dense, dark green, matt foliage gives good coverage for fences, pergolas and walls when trained and lightly pruned each year.
Flower morphology
Semi‑double, cupped, clustered blooms with 13–25 petals and large flower size. Remontant, giving a main flush followed by plentiful repeat flowering when regularly dead‑headed and well watered.
Colour and phenology
Deep violet‑purple inner petals with paler pastel‑purple undersides; intense velvety buds open to purple, then fade towards lavender with silvery edges, especially in strong sun. Yellow stamens form a striking central ring.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, long‑lasting fragrance with a spicy‑sweet character. Scent is noticeable both on the plant and when used as cut flowers indoors, particularly in sheltered, warm positions in the garden.
Rose hip characteristics
Rosehip production is generally limited. Where hips form, they are small, spherical, orange‑red, about 8–12 mm in diameter and add a discreet autumn accent rather than a heavy display.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (USDA 5b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 4). Disease resistance moderate to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; benefits from good air movement and basic preventive care.
Horticultural recommendations
Best on well‑drained but moisture‑retentive soil; mulch annually and water during prolonged dry spells. Suitable for partial shade; train on strong supports. For containers, use at least 40–50 litre volume with quality compost.
P. S. DE LUXEMBOURG™ offers romantic colour, strong fragrance and reliable repeat flowering on a long‑lived own‑root framework, giving You a graceful, easy‑care climbing rose to enjoy for many years, if You feel it suits Your garden.

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.
