| Awards and recognition |
Holds ADR 1966 rating, indicating tested garden performance and resilience, and RNRS Edland Fragrance Cup 1966, recognising outstanding scent quality in competitive rose trials and exhibitions. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Bushy, compact habit reaching about 90–120 cm in height with 70–100 cm spread, dense mid-green glossy foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a well-branched framework from 3–5 main canes. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, very double, solitary hybrid tea flowers with more than 40 petals, cup- to chalice-shaped, borne mainly singly on stems, with strong repeat flowering and a generous, reliable second flush. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Medium pink with salmon hue: deep warm pink buds, then mid-pink blooms (RHS 55C/55B) fading to pastel and creamy tones, with very good colour retention and gentle lightening towards petal edges. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Very strong, classic rose fragrance, long-lasting with garden-filling intensity; heavily double flowers mainly serve ornamental rather than pollinator roles due to enclosed stamens and reduced access. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is usually limited because of very double blooms; when present, forms small 10–14 mm orange-red, egg-shaped hips, adding only minor visual interest and not a primary cropping feature. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, with hardiness to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3, USDA 6b), supporting reliable outdoor cultivation in cool and temperate climates. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, cut-flower use, specimen and hedging, including containers; recommended as a low-maintenance, disease-resistant premium container line, released bush-trained from rooted cutting stock. |
PARISER CHARME offers compact bushy growth, very strong fragrance and reliable disease resistance on a predictable, regenerative own-root base, making it a sound choice for planners wishing to align capacity and scheduling for exclusive pink hybrid tea lines.
