Bouquet Parfait® park rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Remontant and generously flowering, Bouquet Parfait® delivers a compact, upright Hybrid Musk framework well suited to standard container routes and 2–3 L nursery production, building reliable stock for retail and reseller partners. Its clustered small pompon blooms create dense visual volume in beds, hedges and specimen uses, while the pale pink to white colour shift gives strong season-long ornamental interest aligned to thematic rose gardens and curated collections. With H7 winter hardiness down to around -26 °C and resistance noted for powdery mildew, black spot and rust, it supports lower intervention programmes and stable, homogeneous stands over time, beneficial where reliable garden performance is the core retail promise. The own-root NEONATAL form underpins long-term longevity and regeneration capacity in production cycles, supporting predictable capacity planning for nursery networks, including sites that must cope reliably with cool, exposed Scottish and northern English conditions. From rooted cutting to finished plant, growers can structure programmes where root systems establish in year one, framework and flowering build in year two, and full ornamental volume is realised by year three under professional management.

Hybrid Musk park rose, registered as LENbofa, marketed as Bouquet Parfait® Park - shrub rose LENbofa; American Rose Society exhibition name Bouquet Parfait for classic shrub rose classes. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Louis Lens, Lens Roses, Belgium, from (Rosa multiflora var. adenochaeta × ‘Ballerina’) × ‘White Dream’; bred 1989, registered 2000, introduced commercially after 2000 via Lens Roses. |
| Awards and recognition |
Recognised at Geneva Rose Trials and The Hague with Certificates of Merit, Silver Medal at Saverne, American Rose Society classic shrub status, and South Coast Rose Society show success in 2000. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright park-shrub habit, approximately 110–170 cm high and 95–150 cm spread, slightly thorny, with dense, glossy dark green foliage forming substantial ornamental volume in beds and hedges. |
| Flower morphology |
Small, very full pompon to ball-shaped flowers, 0.5–1.5 inches across, typically in large clusters, with more than 40 petals; remontant, giving a plentiful second flush after the main flowering. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Pale pink on a creamy white base, ARS LP, RHS 36D inner and N155D outer; buds pearl-tinted, flowering from whitish-pink to pastel, fading toward white, with weaker colour retention in strong sun. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, slightly sweet scent, primarily ornamental with very double blooms that largely conceal stamens, leading to low pollinator value despite attractive flower form and generous clustering. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional small spherical orange-red hips around 6–9 mm, adding some decorative late-season interest but not a primary feature for production or landscape specification. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated H7 with approximate tolerance down to -26 to -23 °C, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4; resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, supporting reduced plant protection inputs in production. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended as a low-maintenance shrub for beds, hedges, parks, specimens and some cutting; minimal pruning and routine care on bush-trained plants, ideally produced via standard 2–3 L containers. |
Bouquet Parfait® combines remontant clustered flowering, robust H7 hardiness and award-backed reliability with own-root predictability and regeneration, making it a sound choice for stable shrub rose ranges where we can jointly align capacity and scheduling.
