Madame Anisette® Parfuma® – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root start, Madame Anisette® Parfuma® provides a reliably premium base for nursery and wholesale container production focused on exclusive, exhibition-grade hybrid tea roses. Its very strong aniseed–myrrh fragrance, dense foliage and fully double, cream-white blooms with a faint peach tint align well with premium 5–7 L containers and higher-volume propagation beds aiming at cut-flower or specimen-quality output. The upright, bushy habit, vigorous own-root framework and low-maintenance requirement support homogeneous stands and predictable scheduling, while its documented resistance and H7 winter hardiness give confidence for UK nursery systems exposed to colder, windier conditions in the north. Heat and moderate drought tolerance, combined with remontant flowering and weak self-cleaning that rewards attentive finishing, position this cultivar as a strong choice for thematic rose gardens, show collections and retail/reseller ranges where finished-product quality and flower form are the core promise, progressing naturally from root establishment in year one to stronger shoots in year two and full ornamental value from year three onward.

| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright, bushy shrub reaching 120–160 cm height with 60–80 cm spread, moderately thorny shoots and dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage (RHS 139A), forming a strong bush framework suitable for 3–5 cane training. |
| Flower morphology |
Very full, double flowers with 40+ petals, large-sized blooms carried mainly in clusters, with spherical to pompon form; remontant habit providing a plentiful second flowering wave under suitable cultural conditions. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cream-white blooms with a soft peach tint; outer petals RHS 155D, inner 158C; buds greenish-white; colour holds well, only lightly lightening in strong sun, retaining an ivory to creamy white appearance as the flowers age. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, spicy-sweet fragrance with pronounced aniseed and myrrh notes, noticeable from a distance; highly ornamental and characterful scent profile, though the very double blooms offer limited pollinator access. |
| Hip characteristics |
Due to very double flowers, hips form only occasionally; when present they are ovoid, orange-red, around 10–14 mm in diameter, and generally of limited ornamental or production relevance for this cultivar. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
H7 hardy, tolerating approximately −26 to −23 °C; USDA zone 5b and Swedish zone 4; documented resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, plus good heat tolerance and moderate drought endurance in established plants. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to borders, parks, cut-flower and solitary use; prefers premium container production with 3–5 strong framework canes; low maintenance and infrequent pruning needs, though weak self-cleaning requires manual deadheading on finished stock. |
Madame Anisette® Parfuma® combines award-backed flower quality, strong fragrance and disease-resistant, own-root vigour into a predictable, long-lived production item; we would be pleased to coordinate volumes and scheduling with your nursery team.
