ROSE DE TOLBIAC® – pink climbing rose – Kordes
If You dream of a romantic climbing rose that stays manageable in an average Irish garden, ROSE DE TOLBIAC® is a gently climbing solution that rewards You with large, pastel rosette blooms and a refined, cottage‑style look without demanding expert skills. Its moderate growth and neat height make it easy to train on an arch, fence or wall, while own‑root strength supports a long‑lived, reliable framework that copes well even with heavier soils where drainage needs a bit of attention. The XL, very full flowers open a soft pink with warm peach centres, then fade to creamy tones that brighten small front gardens and seating areas from the first season. Over time, the bush settles into a stable structure, giving You confidence that each year brings more shoots, better coverage and a quietly luxurious display. Strongly remontant, it produces an impressive second flush that keeps walls and arches in colour well beyond midsummer, yet remains suited to a relaxed care routine. It tolerates summer heat well, appreciates regular watering and, with its partial‑shade tolerance and moderate disease resistance, integrates smoothly into mixed plantings around the home. In year one it focuses on roots, by year two the framework fills out, and by year three the rose reaches its full ornamental value as a graceful, romantic climber for everyday family life.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front‑garden rose arch by the entrance
The moderate climbing height and relatively slim spread make training over a standard rose arch straightforward, giving a soft pastel welcome without overwhelming a small front garden; ideal if You want romance without complex pruning, especially for beginners
Climbing rose on a sunny house wall
As a large‑flowered climber with very full, XL rosette blooms, it creates classic cottage‑style panels of colour on wires or trellis along a warm wall, rewarding regular watering with repeat flowering throughout summer and into early autumn, perfect for a time‑poor homeowner
Pergola or walkway in an average‑sized family garden
Its 180–280 cm height suits modest pergolas, forming a romantic overhead canopy without casting too much shade; own‑root growth builds a durable woody framework that can be refreshed over time, giving long‑term charm to everyday family use for the relaxed gardener
Fence or boundary screen between neighbouring gardens
The moderately dense, dark green foliage clothes 60–100 cm of width, providing a soft visual screen that still feels friendly rather than fortress‑like, while heat tolerance and steady repeat flowering keep the boundary attractive through mixed Irish summers for the practical neighbour
Part‑shaded side passage or narrow path
Suitable for partial shade, it continues to flower where some climbers sulk, so a side path or north‑easterly aspect can still enjoy pastel rosettes; training it flat against support keeps access clear, suiting compact plots and busy urban residents
Coastal or exposed garden with heavier soil
The own‑root plant establishes a resilient framework that copes better over years with wind and cool, wet spells, provided You ensure reasonable drainage in heavier clay, making it a dependable choice where weather can be fickle for the cautious buyer
Romantic seating corner with mixed perennials
Soft pink‑peach flowers combine beautifully with lady’s mantle, blanket flower or crocosmia, building a long‑season picture as the climber repeats and perennials weave around its base, ideal if You prefer relaxed, low‑fuss planting that still feels special as an occasional gardener
Large container on balcony or patio (with support)
In a minimum 40–50 litre container with a sturdy obelisk or trellis, its moderate vigour is easier to manage than very strong ramblers, giving You a vertical accent of pastel bloom that can move house with You, attractive for flexible, space‑conscious renters
Decorating ideas
Cottage Archway – Train ROSE DE TOLBIAC® over a simple metal arch and underplant with Alchemilla mollis and lavender for a frothy, pastel entrance – ideal for lovers of soft, romantic cottage gardens
Pastel Patio Screen – Use a large container and trellis to create a mobile screen on the patio, pairing the rose with trailing thyme and compact rosemary – perfect for balcony and terrace dwellers
Warm Wall Harmony – Fan the climber along a sunny wall and plant Crocosmia and gaillardia at its feet for peach‑orange harmonies that glow in evening light – suited to busy families who want impact with modest effort
Boundary Ribbon – Repeat‑plant along a low fence at recommended spacing to form a flowing ribbon of pink‑peach rosettes mixed with airy ornamental grasses – great for homeowners aiming for gentle privacy without a solid hedge
Romantic Reading Nook – Cover a compact pergola beside a bench and add pots of hydrangeas beneath the rose for layered height and colour – perfect for those who want a tranquil corner to unwind after work

Bred by Tim‑Hermann Kordes (Germany, 1998) from ‘KORkinteral’ × ‘KORpastato’; introduced after 2014 by W. Kordes’ Söhne Rosenschulen GmbH & Co KG, initial distributor W. Kordes’ Söhne.
Awards and recognitions
Gold Medal and City of Zweibrücken Award at the Baden‑Baden International New Rose Competition (2013), reflecting strong ornamental value and garden performance under trial conditions.
Growth and structure

Flower morphology
Very full, rosette‑shaped blooms with more than 40 petals, usually borne singly; extra‑large flower size from around 3.5 inches, with strong remontancy and an abundant second flush in season.
Colour and phenology
Soft pale pink with a delicate peach undertone; buds open powder pink, then pastel peach‑pink in the centre, fading towards creamy tones, with medium colour retention and faster fading in strong sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Light rose scent of very weak intensity; fragrance is generally only noticeable at close range, making it suitable near seating areas for those preferring discreet rather than overpowering perfume.

Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −23 to −21 °C (H7, USDA 6a); disease resistance moderate overall, with good black spot resistance but moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and rust, benefiting from occasional protection.

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
ROSE DE TOLBIAC® – pink climbing rose - Kordes
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Cultivar Name Meaning:
The word "Tolbiac" is the Roman-era name of the town of Zülpich, and the cultivar was given this name in honour of the 2014 Zülpich Garden Exhibition.
Colour Fading Description:
As the bloom opens, the pastel pink–peach tones gradually fade, becoming almost cream-coloured before the flower finishes; fading accelerates in strong sunlight.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its very double, globose blooms make nectar and pollen poorly accessible to pollinators, so the variety is only weakly attractive; bloom form (simple/semi‑double/double) and stamen accessibility strongly influence pollinator attraction.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally it may produce globular, greyish‑purple (RHS 183A) rose hips 20–30 mm in diameter.

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.
