SIMONE VEIL – red hybrid tea rose – Orard
If You dream of a striking red rose that simply fits into an Irish family garden, SIMONE VEIL is an upright hybrid tea that gives classic, high-centred blooms without demanding advanced skills. Its large, velvety petals and ruby tones shine in beds or containers, while the strong, spicy-tea perfume drifts around paths and sitting areas. As an own-root plant it settles in reliably and can regenerate from its base, building a stable, long-lived shrub with minimal fuss. This makes it ideal where You want a rose that copes with our cool, damp seasons and humid, disease-prone spells, yet still flowers strongly from summer into autumn. In the first year it focuses on roots, the second on stronger shoots, and by the third year it reveals its full beauty as a well-shaped bush. Plant it once, keep watering steady, and enjoy a reliably elegant focal point season after season.

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose from the Parfums de Lyon collection. Registered cultivar name ORAcolhac, traded as SIMONE VEIL – Parfums de Lyon – ORAcolhac. Rose group and commercial group both hybrid tea.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Pierre Orard in France, 2015, with parentage not disclosed. Introduced and initially distributed by Roseraies Orard, part of the Roses Orard Selection Edition, ensuring authentic, traceable origin.
Awards and recognitions
Prix du Public at the International New Roses Competition in Barcelona in 2015, reflecting strong garden and public appeal in independent trials and adding confidence for long-term planting.
Growth and structure
Upright, bushy growth reaching about 80–110 cm high and 45–60 cm wide. Dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny stems and a well-proportioned, compact habit suitable for beds and containers.
Flower morphology
Large, very double high-centred blooms with over 40 petals, classic cut-rose form and clusters on the stem. Strongly repeat-flowering with abundant second flush, weak self-cleaning so some deadheading is useful.
Colour and phenology
Deep, full ruby red with velvety surface and darker edging. Colour holds moderately well, easing only slightly towards crimson by the end of the bloom. Cluster-flowering habit gives repeated colour from summer to autumn.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, noticeable fragrance with a spicy, tea-like character, especially around seating areas and in cut arrangements. Very double flowers limit pollinator access, so it is primarily an ornamental, sensory variety.
Rose hip characteristics
Occasionally forms small, 12–16 mm, egg-shaped red hips if flowers are not deadheaded, adding a light seasonal accent but not the main decorative focus of the plant.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7; USDA 6b; Swedish zone 3). Moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; benefits from good air circulation, regular watering and basic preventive care.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil; avoid prolonged drought. Space 40 cm in beds, 35 cm for hedging, 75 cm as a specimen. In containers, choose at least 40–50 litres. Occasional pest and disease checks recommended.
SIMONE VEIL offers large fragrant red blooms, repeat flowering and a compact habit, while its own-root form supports long-term resilience and easy regeneration, making it a reassuring choice if You want a dependable rose to enjoy and care for calmly.

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.
