TYP KASSEL – mid-pink historic Centifolia rose
If You dream of a romantic, historic rose that still fits effortlessly into a modern Irish family garden, Typ Kassel is an easy-going historic Centifolia shrub with richly petalled blooms and a very strong, sweet-citrus fragrance. Its bushy, upright habit makes it ideal as a specimen in a front bed or as part of a loose, scented informal hedge, settling in steadily even where summers are cool and humid. Once planted in good soil with reliable watering, this own-root rose develops durable structure and can be kept for many years with only moderate upkeep, thanks to its inherent disease resistance. Over time, You gain a characterful, mid-pink backdrop that frames paths and cottage-style borders with classic forms and contours. Give it room, light pruning and drainage, and it will reward You with waves of nostalgic blooms: first building roots, then shoots, and by the third year reaching full ornamental value.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal shrub
The bushy, medium-tall habit and mid-pink, rosette blooms create a strong focal point near the entrance or along a driveway, giving classic charm without intensive shaping; ideal for homeowners seeking a welcoming, traditional look for their front garden, especially beginners
Scented seating area
Its very strong, sweet, citrusy scent carries well, so a single shrub near a bench or terrace can perfume the whole corner in still weather, turning everyday sitting areas into relaxing retreats with only moderate pruning and watering needed for homeowners
Cottage-style mixed border
The historic Centifolia character, full rosette flowers and moderate height blend naturally with perennials and grasses, adding nostalgic structure and colour that matures year by year as it moves from root-building in year one to full display by year three for romantic gardeners
Loose flowering hedge
Planted at hedge spacing, the bushy growth knits into a soft, informal barrier that defines boundaries while remaining more decorative and less formal than clipped shrubs, suiting family gardens that need privacy and charm for time-poor families
Small rose group in lawn
Groups of three to five plants form a rounded, mid-height island bed with repeating pink tones and strong scent, providing impact from a distance while staying manageable for mowing and light deadheading, ideal for busy but style-conscious owners
Historic or park-style planting
Its traditional Centifolia form, presumed remontant heritage and measured growth suit restoration schemes and park-inspired home gardens, where character and long-term presence matter more than high-maintenance showbench perfection, appealing to heritage-loving collectors
Partially shaded side garden
Tolerance of partial shade allows planting where houses, fences or mature shrubs limit direct sun, provided the soil is moisture-retentive yet well drained to cope with our often wet, heavy conditions and frequent rain, reassuring cautious first-time planters
Cut flowers for the house
The large, very double rosette blooms with powerful fragrance make characterful, short-stemmed cut flowers for informal jugs and vases, so a single shrub can regularly supply nostalgic arrangements without needing a separate cutting patch for creative florists
Decorating ideas
Cottage gate welcome – Plant Typ Kassel either side of a front gate with lavender and catmint at its feet for a scented, informal entrance – suited to lovers of relaxed cottage style.
Rural hedge blend – Thread Typ Kassel through a loose mixed hedge with hydrangeas and hawthorn to soften boundaries with pink blooms and fragrance – ideal for country homeowners.
Romantic seating nook – Place one shrub behind a bench, underplanted with hardy geraniums and ferns, to create a fragrant, semi-shaded reading corner – perfect for quiet garden users.
Grassy island bed – Combine a small group of Typ Kassel with Pennisetum and Penstemon ‘Husker Red’ in a lawn island for soft movement and historic charm – great for design-conscious families.
Historic feature border – Use Typ Kassel as the main rose in a border with old-fashioned perennials like delphiniums and foxgloves to echo period gardens – appealing to fans of traditional schemes.
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Typ Kassel is a historic Centifolia shrub rose supplied as a pharmaROSA ORIGINAL own-root plant; trade name Typ Kassel Historic rose, authenticity verified for garden use.
Origin and breeding
Presumed descendant of remontant Centifolias such as Lee’s Perpetual; discovered as a Kassel type in Wilhelmshöhe Park and later distributed by specialist German rose nurseries.
Growth and structure
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 120–190 cm high and 100–160 cm wide, with moderately dense, matt mid-green foliage and moderate thorns; forms a substantial, long-lived framework.
Flower morphology
Large, very double, quartered rosette flowers with over 40 petals, borne mainly singly on stems; remontant, with a strong first flush followed by lighter repeat flowering later in the season.
Colour and phenology
Medium, uniform mid-pink blooms; buds open vivid pink, then soften, with centres slightly paler and colour fading more quickly in full sun, sometimes giving a gently two-toned appearance.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, far-reaching fragrance with sweet and citrusy notes; ideal where scent is a priority, easily noticeable near paths, seating areas and open windows in still or lightly breezy weather.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose hips are sparse because of the very double flowers; where they form, expect small, spherical, orange-red hips around 10–15 mm across, offering modest late-season ornamental interest.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to around -26 to -23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b); good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, moderate rust susceptibility, and needs regular watering as it dislikes prolonged drought and heat.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in deep, fertile, well-drained soil with regular moisture and at least half a day of sun; space generously, deadhead to tidy, and prune lightly to preserve its historic character and flowering wood.
Typ Kassel offers richly scented, mid-pink historic blooms on a durable, own-root shrub that builds long-term structure with moderate care, making it a reassuring choice if You want a characterful rose You can plant and enjoy over many years.

Cultivar Name Meaning:
The term "Typ Kassel" refers to the Kassel type, as the cultivar was identified in Wilhelmshöhe Park in Kassel and took its working name from there.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its strongly double flowers — from simple through semi‑double to fully double forms, which increasingly restrict stamen accessibility — make it of low attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental variety.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be sparse due to the double flowers; occasionally spherical, orange-red hips 10–15 mm in diameter may form.

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.
