Louise De Marillac™ Les Provençelles® MASloumar – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Compact and upright, this shrub rose fits efficiently into nursery propagation beds and 2–3 L container lines, providing a reliable shrub-form base for standard finished products. With remontant flowering on dense foliage and medium maintenance needs, it suits professional workflows where predictable bed and park performance is required. The own-root NEONATAL starting material supports homogeneous, bush-trained plants that tolerate winter and wind in northern regions, helping to stabilise quality in supply chains serving public and retail projects. Over time, own-root production allows roots to establish first, then structural shoots, and finally full ornamental expression by the third year, supporting long-term, low-replacement plantings. The variety’s heat tolerance, medium-pink ornamental value and clustered, large double blooms make it a versatile option for flowerbeds, edging and specimen use in thematic or collection-style gardens, while the Les Provençelles® identity adds range depth for partners building coherent shrub assortments.

Technical cultivar profile
| Name and registration |
Registered as MASloumar, marketed as Louise De Marillac™ Les Provençelles® MASloumar, a shrub rose in the Bed rose commercial group for flowerbed and shrub use. |
| Origin and breeding |
French-bred by Dominique Massad (Pétales de Roses) from ‘Paul Bocuse’ × ‘Michelle Bedrossian’, bred around 2010 and introduced commercially in 2011 by Pétales de Roses. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy shrub reaching about 80–105 cm in height and 50–70 cm spread, moderately thorny, with dense, slightly glossy, mid-green foliage suited to compact bush training. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double, cup-shaped blooms (26–39 petals) produced mainly in clusters, with good remontant behaviour and an abundant second flush providing sustained ornamental impact. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Medium pink with baby-pink tones; buds mid-pink, opening to uniform baby pink, then fading to pale, sometimes almost whitish pink, with richer colour in cool weather and faster fading in heat. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
The fragrance is very faint and discreet, with a barely detectable, elegant character; the double bloom form is chosen primarily for ornamental display rather than scented garden effect. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is generally low due to the double flowers; when present, hips are small, spherical, 8–12 mm in diameter, and red, adding limited but tidy seasonal interest without heavy fruiting. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Hardy to around -21–-18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b) with medium resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, and good heat tolerance when adequately watered in dry periods. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flowerbeds, parks, edging and specimen use; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection and cleaning of spent blooms, optimally supplied as bush-trained plants in standard 2–3 L containers. |
