Paul Ricard PERFUMELLA® MEInivoz – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting

Perfumed and amber-toned, Paul Ricard PERFUMELLA® MEInivoz offers premium hybrid-tea flower quality as own-root propagation material for nursery and wholesale rose production, where finished plants are channelled into exclusive, flower-focused ranges. Its strong, spicy, aniseed fragrance, XL, high-centred blooms and remontant performance support premium container programmes (recommended 5–7 L, with bush-trained, 3–5 cane release forms) aimed at retail/reseller partners seeking high exhibition value. As an own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL cutting, it provides renewable growth and long-term structural stability in propagation beds and container systems, supporting predictable replenishment of a specialist, cut-flower-style portfolio serving thematic rose gardens and collection plantings. In typical UK nursery conditions, it integrates smoothly into bed or container grow-on workflows that also need to manage winter and wind exposed sites across Scotland and northern England, while its maintenance-intensive health profile is easier to accommodate in professionally managed production and display settings. With thoughtful crop protection planning and a clear focus on individual specimen and premium container presentation, Paul Ricard can underpin exclusive, fragrance-led show-garden and retail feature SKUs, progressing from root establishment in year one, to framework-building shoots in year two, and its full ornamental value by year three in a high-end collection-driven context.

Usage options

Target area	Reasoning
Premium 5–7 L container production for retail feature plants	Large, very full, high-centred blooms with a distinctly cut-rose character give strong shelf impact, particularly in premium 5–7 L containers released as bush-trained plants with 3–5 framework canes. Own-root structure supports long-term performance and repeat purchasing by retailers, while the exclusive finished product positioning and flower-quality value proposition align well with retail and reseller premium feature tables. Suitable where maintenance inputs and plant protection against black spot can be planned into nursery and garden-centre care regimes for high-value stock, serving retail/reseller.
Fragrance-led collector and show-garden ranges	The pronounced, spicy aniseed fragrance and exhibition-style flower form suit thematic fragrance ranges and dedicated rose collections, where individual plant impact is prioritised over low-maintenance performance. Professional growers can build own-root lines for curated show-garden supply, using premium container production to deliver well-branched, bush-trained specimens. This fits exclusive finished product ranges with a focus on flower quality and form, and supports nursery and public-realm suppliers building prestige collections for display plantings managed under regular care routines, serving collectors/connoisseur.
Cut-flower style garden rose for specialist retailers	As a hybrid tea with solitary XL blooms and a high-centred, pointed-bud profile, Paul Ricard lends itself to “cut-flower style” garden rose concepts. Propagation as own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material supports stable, renewable production for nurseries targeting premium container sales rather than commercial glasshouse cutting. Bush-trained 3–5 cane plants in 5–7 L pots translate well into branded, exclusive finished products, clearly communicating the core promise of flower quality and classic hybrid tea form to specialist retailers wanting distinctive, story-rich cultivars, serving independent-garden-centres.
Specimen planting for public and institutional display beds	Dense, mid-green foliage and upright habit make this cultivar suitable as a focal specimen where bloom form and colour are highlighted in curated beds, for example in municipal or institutional show-rose sections. Own-root plants offer regeneration and longevity, giving more predictable stands over time if plant protection is routinely implemented. Professionally managed maintenance regimes can handle its higher disease-susceptibility profile, while exclusive positioning and fragrance-led appeal support inclusion in prestige public displays supplied through nursery and integrator networks, serving public-realm-suppliers.
Thematic colour and fragrance collections in rose gardens	The warm amber-yellow, ochre-tinted colour range and strong, distinctive scent integrate effectively into thematic plantings that group roses by fragrance family or colour palette. Nursery producers can use pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material to maintain cultivar identity in collection blocks, feeding into premium container production as required. Exclusive finished product status and a clear main value proposition around flower quality and form make it a logical choice for curated sets marketed as colour- or perfume-based assortments through wholesale channels, serving collection-gardens.
Own-root stock for long-term cultivar maintenance	Own-root propagation provides a stable base for maintaining Paul Ricard in breeder, nursery, or institutional collections where genetic and identity integrity are important. While disease management demands are higher, these are manageable within professional production systems, particularly where beds are established for long-term cultivar conservation and periodic cutting of budwood or semi-finished plants. The cultivar’s exhibition reputation and honours support its presence in reference collections underpinning exclusive, flower-quality-led finished products, serving gene-bank/collection-holdings.
Premium large-container specimens for terraces and entrances	For growers serving higher-end landscape and retail accounts, Paul Ricard can be taken beyond the recommended 5–7 L into 40–50 litre final containers as statement specimens for terraces, hotel entrances, or representative garden areas. The own-root base supports long lifespan and regenerative capacity in these larger volumes, provided irrigation and plant protection are planned. This route aligns with the exclusive finished product positioning and appeals to channels that market high-value, fragrance-focused feature plants capable of anchoring display compositions, serving premium-landscape-contracts.
Climate-aware production for exposed northern and show sites	With hardiness down to approximately -15–-12 °C and an RHS H6 rating, Paul Ricard can be integrated into UK nursery and show-garden production even where winters and wind exposure are considerations, provided crop protection and siting are handled professionally. Own-root propagation supports homogeneous stands and predictable replacement capacity, while its maintenance-intensive health profile is more viable in managed display beds than in low-input plantings. This enables suppliers to provide consistent, exhibition-grade material for northern and exposed show-garden locations, serving show-garden-contracts.

Technical cultivar profile

Parameter	Data
Name and registration	Hybrid tea rose, registered as MEInivoz, traded as Paul Ricard PERFUMELLA® MEInivoz; exhibition name Paul Ricard, aligned to the PERFUMELLA® collection and cut-flower style uses.
Origin and breeding	Bred by Jacques Mouchotte at Meilland International, France, from ('Hidalgo' × 'Mischief') × 'Ambassador'; bred 1988, introduced and internationally registered in 1993 with Meilland as initial distributor.
Awards and recognition	Recognised in European trials: Rome Gold Medal 1990, The Hague Certificate 1990, Saverne Silver Medal 1990 and Lyon Prestige de la Rose 1991, underpinning its reputation for exhibition-standard flower quality.
Growth and structural characteristics	Upright bush habit reaching about 85–115 cm high and 50–75 cm spread, with dense, mid-green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickliness; spent blooms persist and generally need manual removal after flowering.
Flower morphology	Very full, 40+ petalled XL flowers, solitary on stems with high-centred, pointed buds typical of hybrid tea cut-rose types; remontant habit with a notably abundant second flush, suited to specimen and cutting display.
Colour data and phenology	Amber-yellow with ochre tones; buds deep golden ochre, opening rich amber-yellow, then creamy beige-yellow with peachy edges, lightening in strong sun; colour retention is moderate but ornamental value remains high.
Fragrance and aroma	Strong, distinctly scented rose with a spicy, aniseed character reminiscent of pastis; intensifies the sensory impact of specimen and collector plantings but the highly double form offers limited value for pollinator support.
Hip characteristics	Hip set is generally low due to very double flowers; where formed, hips are egg-shaped, vivid orange-red, around 12–18 mm in diameter, adding occasional late-season ornamental interest without being a primary feature.
Resistance and winter hardiness	Hardy to around -15–-12 °C (RHS H6, Swedish Zon 2, USDA 7b); disease resistance is weak, with black spot very susceptible and powdery mildew and rust moderate, requiring regular, planned plant protection regimes.
Horticultural recommendations	Best used as premium containers or specimens in managed beds; maintenance needs are high, with regular pruning, deadheading and fungicide programmes recommended to sustain exhibition-quality flowering for demanding clients.

Paul Ricard PERFUMELLA® MEInivoz offers award-backed, fragrance-rich hybrid-tea blooms and long-lived own-root reliability for stable, exclusive stock; we would be pleased to discuss capacity planning and scheduling with you.
