EDITH PIAF® GPT – dark red climbing rose – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL

Perfumed own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of EDITH PIAF® GPT gives You a premium base for trained climber production, combining colour-intense, exhibition-grade blooms with strong fragrance and a vigorous climbing habit suitable for walls, fences, pergolas and arches. As a sport of the celebrated hybrid tea Edith Piaf®, it delivers consistent branding value in exclusive, space-defining vertical features where dark red, high-centred, very double flowers support cut-flower style presentation. Own-root propagation offers long-term stability for nursery networks supplying thematic rose gardens and collection plantings in public-realm projects, with predictable capacity across regions where winter resilience and wind exposure are key considerations. From Year 1 root establishment through Year 2 structural shoot build-up to full ornamental performance by Year 3, the tray-rooted 3–6-month cuttings integrate cleanly into staked, trained climber lines in 5–7 L containers aimed at exclusive retail and reseller routes.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Vertical collection rose for pergolas and arches	The vigorous climbing habit with 200–320 cm height and dense, dark green foliage supports reliable vertical structures for pergolas and arches, where the space-defining character is a primary selling point. Using own-root, tray-rooted NEONATAL cuttings as a trained climber finished product in 5–7 L pots allows nurseries to build homogeneous batches for thematic rose gardens and show collections, while the sport origin helps maintain cultivar identity over multiple production cycles for retail/reseller partners.
Premium fragrant wall and fence lines	Strong, distance-carrying fragrance with fruity grapefruit and red-berry notes positions this cultivar well for fragrance-focused wall and fence plantings, adding clear differentiation within an assortment. Growing on NEONATAL material into staked, pre-trained climbers simplifies handling and display in exclusive, space-defining vertical features, and a consistent 5–7 L end-pot size aligns with UK retail expectations for premium climbers serving independent garden centres.
Exhibition climber for specialist collections	Exhibition-category, very double, high-centred blooms with XL flower size and deep ruby-dark red colour create strong visual impact for specialist rose collections and dedicated show gardens. Using own-root cuttings for a trained climber route provides long lifespan, stable performance and easy renewal of stock blocks, supporting long-term collection maintenance and thematic plantings in public rose gardens.
Cut-flower capable feature climber	The solitary, high-centred, cut-rose type blooms with strong stems can support a dual positioning as both vertical feature and occasional cut-flower source, adding versatility for project-based orders. NEONATAL-based, staked and tied plants in 5–7 L containers give You a defined framework of 3–5 main canes, simplifying logistics for retailers needing clear “ready-to-place” climbers targeting project-oriented landscapers.
Signature dark-red accent in thematic rose gardens	The saturated dark-red colour with very good retention and only slight fading provides a stable signature tone for curated colour schemes and thematic beds. Own-root propagation reduces long-term replacement and maintains uniformity in high-visibility schemes, while the trained climber finished product route in 5–7 L pots fits tightly scheduled deliveries into dedicated rose collections for municipal and institutional buyers.
Space-efficient specimen for narrow vertical spaces	The 150–250 cm spread combined with 200–320 cm height enables strong vertical emphasis without excessive lateral space demand, helpful on walls, pillars or narrow pergola spans. NEONATAL material can be guided early into 3–5 structured canes, keeping specimens manageable for transport and merchandising, and suiting exclusive, space-defining vertical garden features supplied through premium retail chains.
Medium-maintenance trained climber ranges	Moderate disease resistance and medium maintenance needs, including some manual deadheading due to weak self-cleaning, are manageable within professional care regimes where visual quality is a priority. Using own-root NEONATAL plants provides predictable regrowth and resilience under vertical training workloads, and pre-trained 5–7 L units present well as finished, exclusive climbers for specialist rose nurseries.
Collection mother-plant and stock-bed use	As a sport of a well-known hybrid tea, cultivar authenticity and stable characteristics are critical for mother-plant and stock-bed roles; verified own-root NEONATAL material supports this. Winter hardiness down to around -21 °C with tolerance of exposed, windy sites allows reliable maintenance beds in UK nursery fields, forming a secure base for ongoing trained-climber production into wholesale distribution.

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Climbing cultivar from the PERFUMELLA® collection; registered as MEIramboysar, traded as Edith Piaf® Gpt PERFUMELLA® MEIramboysar, exhibition name Edith Piaf, Cl.; female given-name reference.
Origin and breeding	Natural sport of the hybrid tea Edith Piaf® (MEIramboys, 1999/2007), bred by Alain Meilland, Meilland International, France; initially distributed by Meilland Richardier; introduced to market in 2016.
Awards and recognition	Linked to the Edith Piaf® fragrance line, associated with the Nantes World Rose Fragrance Competition where the base variety gained first prize in 2005, supporting fragrance-focused marketing narratives.
Growth and structural characteristics	Vigorous climbing habit reaching about 200–320 cm high and 150–250 cm spread; dense, glossy, dark-green foliage; moderately thorny canes require tying to supports; suited to trained, space-defining vertical roles.
Flower morphology	Very double, XL-sized blooms (over 3.5 inches), solitary on stems, with high-centred, pointed, cut-rose type form; petal count exceeds forty; remontant habit with a notably plentiful second flush under good culture.
Colour data and phenology	Deep, velvety dark-red blooms, ARS code DR; outer petals RHS 187A, inner RHS 186B; strong colour retention with only slight fading from ruby red to dark cherry red, maintaining an even, rich tone at full bloom.
Fragrance and aroma	Strong, distance-perceptible fragrance combining full, fruity notes with grapefruit and red-berry nuances; essentially ornamental in ecological terms, as the very double flowers limit access to stamens and pollen.
Hip characteristics	Hip set generally sparse because of the fully double flower form; when present, hips are small, spherical and bright red (RHS 44A), around 10–14 mm diameter, with limited ornamental or production significance.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Rated to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b); moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; medium heat and drought tolerance, needing regular watering in hot periods.
Horticultural recommendations	Best used on walls, fences, pergolas, arches and as individual specimens, with additional potential for cutting; benefits from training and tying; medium maintenance with some deadheading due to weak self-cleaning.

EDITH PIAF® GPT on own roots offers vigorous vertical structure, intense dark-red, fragrant blooms and long-lived, predictable stands, making it a logical candidate for aligned capacity planning and detailed schedule discussions.
