Nirphobels NIRPARFUM – Hybrid tea rose propagation material
Premium own-root Nirphobels NIRPARFUM offers exclusive magenta hybrid-tea flowers with remontant production value for nurseries targeting high-end containers and cut-flower lines. Its compact, upright habit and dense foliage suit 5–7 L premium containers, while own-root propagation gives long-term stability for cultivar collections and curated ranges. In Year 1 roots establish, in Year 2 framework shoots build, and by Year 3 the finished product reaches full ornamental impact with a fragrant, berry-scented profile that supports retail and reseller exclusivity. As part of a professional own-root platform, it backs predictable capacity for thematic rose gardens and public-realm suppliers, even where winters are reliably cold and hardy plant material is required.

| Awards and recognition |
Recognised at Lyon, France in 2019 as Plus Belle Rose de France / Maurice Carron prize winner and recipient of the Lycée Horticole de Lyon‑Dardilly special prize for ornamental quality. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, upright, compact shrub reaching about 70–95 cm in height and 45–60 cm spread, with moderately thorny stems and dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage on a stable framework. |

Large, double, cupped hybrid-tea flowers with approximately 26–39 petals, mainly carried as solitary blooms, repeating strongly with an abundant second flowering phase under suitable culture. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vivid deep magenta blooms with RHS 60A outer and 60C inner tones; colour is intense when newly opened, softening towards rose‑purple while remaining generally long-lasting with moderate fading. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, garden-filling sweet fragrance with a berry-like character; double flowers are moderately attractive to pollinators due to partially concealed stamens and semi-double functional structure. |
| Hip characteristics |
Produces moderately abundant, small spherical hips about 10–14 mm in diameter, colouring orange-red; hips can contribute subtle seasonal interest where spent flowers are not removed. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring regular protection; winter hardy to about −21 to −18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7 and approximately USDA zone 6b, Swedish zone 3. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flowerbeds, containers and cut-flower use via bush-trained plants with 3–5 strong canes; recommends premium container production with high-input protection regimes and own-root propagation. |
Nirphobels NIRPARFUM combines compact structure, strong fragrance and winter hardiness on a predictable, regenerative own-root base, making it a reliable candidate for exclusive premium ranges where we can jointly plan capacity and scheduling.
