Pink Paradise Grands Parfums DELfluros – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Fragrance and colour define Pink Paradise as a premium hybrid tea for projects where bloom quality and impact justify a higher unit value, while its strong disease tolerance and low-maintenance upkeep support predictable nursery workflows. Delivered as pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own‑root material, it offers stable, renewable growth that suits propagation beds and premium 5–7 L container routes aimed at exclusive finished products for retail/reseller partners. The robust framework of 3–5 canes and upright habit make it easy to shape for specimen and cut‑flower oriented ranges, creating homogeneous batches with minimal replacement over time. Across UK projects, it aligns well with demanding public‑realm and collection schemes where fungal pressure is significant in humid western districts, while own‑root longevity underpins longer production cycles and stock beds. By year one roots, year two structural shoots, and year three full ornamental expression, it can underpin reliable programmes for thematic rose collections and showcase installations built on consistency, premium presentation, and long‑term sustainability.

Hybrid tea rose in the Grands Parfums collection; registered as DELfluros, marketed as Pink Paradise Grands Parfums DELfluros, with American Rose Society exhibition name Julie Andrews. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred by Georges Delbard in France in 2004, introduced commercially in 2011 by Delbard/Georges Delbard SA with distribution via partners including Certified Roses and Ludwig’s Roses. |
| Awards and recognition |
Holds major distinctions: Baden‑Baden and Geneva gold medals, Barcelona silver medal, Plus belle rose de France, ADR certification, UK Gold Standard award and French Red Label certification recognising quality. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright bush reaching approximately 80–100 cm high and 50–70 cm spread, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a well‑structured framework for specimen or bed use. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, double flowers with 26–39 petals, high‑centred cut‑rose style buds borne mainly solitary, repeating well so that both first and second flushes are abundant, with moderate self‑cleaning of spent blooms. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vivid fuchsia petals with golden‑yellow base (RHS 68C outer, 12B inner), evolving through medium pink to soft pastel tones with creamy blended bases as blooms open and age, giving multi‑stage visual interest. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Strong, long‑lasting scent with sweet, spicy character, in deeply filled blooms that may limit pollinator access; intended primarily for human fragrance appreciation in garden, exhibition and cut‑flower contexts. |
| Hip characteristics |
Fruit set generally sparse due to very double blooms; where present, small spherical hips around 10–14 mm develop, bright red in colour, and have limited ornamental or production relevance in most programmes. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated resistant to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, with hardiness around −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3), needing regular watering as it tolerates warmth but not extended drought stress. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flower beds, specimen use and cut‑flower oriented gardens, with low routine maintenance needs; best aligned with premium container production, bush‑trained on 3–5 strong canes in 5–7 L pots. |
