VIOLETTE PARFUM – mauve-purple hybrid tea rose - Tantau
If You dream of a richly scented, classic rose that still feels easy to live with in an Irish garden, VIOLETTE PARFUM is a refined choice. Its high-centred blooms carry a very strong perfume, combining sweet and spicy notes that drift across the garden on calm evenings. The rich mauve-lilac petals age to a romantic, silvery lavender tone, so every flush looks elegant from bud to fading bloom. This upright, medium-sized shrub fits neatly into front beds and smaller borders yet is substantial enough for cutting, giving You armfuls of long-stemmed flowers for the house. As an own-root plant it builds a stable, long-lived bush that copes well with our damp, changeable weather and soils that may stay heavy after rain, helping You avoid fuss over drainage and special conditions. In its first year it concentrates on roots, in the second on building shoots, and by the third year it delivers its full ornamental value, so You can simply plant it, keep it watered and enjoy its reliable, repeat flowering season after season.
Violette Parfum shown in several opening phases
Use cases
Target area
Reason
Small front garden feature rose
Ideal as a single focal shrub beside a path or near the doorway, where its very strong perfume can be enjoyed at close quarters after work or at weekends, suiting beginners who want rewarding impact with minimal complexity for urban homeowners
Cutting bed for home bouquets
The high-centred, pointed buds and long, straight stems make this rose excellent for home-cut flowers and exhibition-style arrangements, giving You florist-like results from a small patch, perfect for those who enjoy bringing scented flowers indoors for family gatherings
Small group planting in cottage-style beds
Planted in groups of three to five, the mauve-purple blooms form a romantic block of colour that blends beautifully with perennials, offering a soft, nostalgic effect that works well in Irish cottage gardens for rural enthusiasts
Low-maintenance family flower bed
Reliable resistance to common rose diseases reduces spraying and specialised care, allowing You to keep a neat, healthy bed with mainly basic tasks like watering, feeding and the occasional deadheading, comfortable for busy beginners
Container rose on a sunny patio
Its upright habit suits a substantial pot, where it forms a tidy, vertical accent; choose a container of at least 40–50 litres with good compost, and You gain a moveable cloud of fragrance for balcony gardeners
Perfumed seating-area planting
Placed near a bench or terrace, the very strong, noticeable-from-afar scent creates a relaxing evening atmosphere, turning ordinary sitting-out time into an occasion, especially appreciated by those who like to unwind outdoors for scent lovers
Compact border with perennials
The moderate height and medium spread allow easy pairing with plants such as coreopsis or calamint; together they create a colourful yet orderly border that copes well with our often wet, cool summers and heavier soils that hold water after rain for Irish gardeners
Long-term structural rose in a family garden
As an own-root plant it forms its permanent shape in place, gradually building a balanced shrub that can recover more easily from winter damage or pruning errors, giving years of stable performance and dependable blooms for long-term planners
Decorating ideas
COTTAGE TRIO – Plant three VIOLETTE PARFUM in a loose triangle with airy companions like Calamintha nepeta and thread-leaf coreopsis to echo classic Irish cottage borders – ideal for romantic country-garden fans
EVENING PERFUME CORNER – Place one rose by a favourite bench, underplanted with low Sedum acre and soft grasses to catch the light, creating a simple, fragrant retreat – perfect for after-work relaxers
MAUVE CUTTING STRIP – Line a sunny narrow bed with a short row of these roses, edging with lavender for extra scent, to provide a steady supply of long-stemmed blooms – great for home bouquet makers
SUNNY PATIO FOCAL – Grow a single plant in a 40–50 litre container with trailing thyme and white alyssum spilling over the rim for contrast – suited to compact patios and balconies
NEAT FRONT BORDER – Repeat small groups along a driveway, linking them with low evergreen shrubs so the roses provide seasonal colour while the structure stays tidy – good for low-maintenance front gardens
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose registered as TANfifum, marketed as VIOLETTE PARFUM – mauve-purple hybrid tea rose – Tantau; American Rose Society exhibition name Blue Parfum; part of the Hybrid tea rose group.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Mathias Tantau Jr. in Germany, breeding year 1977; introduced and registered in 1978 by Rosen Tantau, Uetersen, with parentage recorded as unknown but selected for colour and fragrance.
Growth and structure
Medium-height, upright shrub reaching about 85–115 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread; moderately thorny, with medium-density, light green foliage; forms a tidy bush suitable for beds and containers.
Flower morphology
Large, double, high-centred, pointed-budded hybrid tea flowers, typically 26–39 petals; blooms borne mainly in clusters; remontant with a notably abundant second flush under good care in sunny positions.
Colour and phenology
Closed buds dark violet-purple with metallic sheen; freshly opened blooms deep mauve-lilac with lavender tones, later lightening to silvery lavender; moderate colour retention, with some fading in strong sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, sweet-spicy, classic rose scent that is noticeable from a distance in still air; ideal for scented gardens and seating areas where its perfume can be fully appreciated throughout the flowering season.
Rose hip characteristics
Rose hip formation is usually minimal because spent flowers and clusters are commonly removed; if present, hips are very small, around 0–6 mm in diameter and of limited ornamental significance.
Resistance and hardiness
Good general disease resistance, with resistance reported to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; winter hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b), performing reliably in most Irish garden conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with well-drained soil; spacing about 60 cm in beds, 50 cm for low hedging, 90 cm as specimen; suitable for flower beds, containers, small groups and cutting, with mainly low maintenance needs.
VIOLETTE PARFUM offers richly scented mauve-purple blooms, low-maintenance disease resistance and dependable structure, while its own-root form supports long life and recovery, making it a thoughtful choice if You want a reliable, beautiful rose.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its highly double (fully double) flower form, which conceals the stamens and limits access to pollen, makes it poorly attractive to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double, more closed flowers make it less attractive to pollinators, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited.
Rose Hip Notes:
Rose hip formation is expected to be minimal due to removal of double flowers and spent blooms; if they develop, very small hips 0–6 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.
