STANWELL PERPETUAL – pale pink wild rose – Brown
With Stanwell Perpetual You bring a graceful, pale pink botanical rose into your garden that fits effortlessly into Irish front beds and cottage borders, even where the soil is heavy and needs careful drainage. This historic shrub forms a bushy, spreading structure with dense grey‑green foliage, giving real presence as a specimen or informal hedge in an average family garden. Its very strong damask fragrance drifts on the air, so a single plant near a path or seating area can perfume the whole corner. Clusters of very double, rosette flowers open from pearly buds, repeat through the season, and drop cleanly, meaning less deadheading and easier maintenance for busy gardeners. The own‑root 2‑litre plant settles in steadily – roots in year one, fuller shoots in year two, and by year three a mature ornamental bush You can rely on for decades. Hardy to severe cold and tolerant of both sun and partial shade, it offers long‑term charm with reassuringly low effort.

Growth and structure
Bushy, spreading shrub 80–130 cm tall and 120–200 cm wide, with dense grey‑green, matt foliage and many prickles. Good framework for hedges, specimens and mixed borders where structure is important.
Flower morphology
Medium, 1.5–2.75 inch very double rosette blooms with 40+ petals. Flowers appear in clusters and repeat; first flush is strongest, later flushes lighter. Good self‑cleaning, so spent blooms often fall unaided.
Colour and phenology
Soft pastel pale pink, leaning towards white. Buds creamy pink, opening to powder‑pink, then fading to porcelain white with a subtle pink centre, especially in strong sun; colour holds better in cooler conditions.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, garden‑filling damask scent with classic old‑rose character. Best appreciated near paths, doors or seating areas where air movement carries the perfume through the space during the main flowering period.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose‑hip formation is usually limited because of very double flowers, but small spherical hips, around 10–16 mm, may appear. Colour tends towards dark purplish to crimson‑black, adding subtle late‑season interest.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −37 to −34 °C (USDA 3b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 6). Disease resistance medium for powdery mildew, black spot and rust. Tolerates heat and moderate drought with watering in prolonged dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in well‑drained soil with sun or partial shade. Medium maintenance; occasional pest and disease checks advised. For hedging plant at about 90 cm, mass planting 105 cm, solitary specimens up to 165 cm spacing.

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.
