ROSE AIMÉE™ – cream-yellow-pink hybrid tea rose - Gaujard
Premium own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of ROSE AIMÉE™ supports exclusive hybrid tea production where flower quality and classic cut-rose form are central for premium container ranges. This upright, bush-trained cultivar with 3–5 strong canes and dense, glossy dark-green foliage offers reliable structure for 5–7 L finishing and specimen-grade beds, while its remontant, double blooms add strong display value in flower beds and park settings. The elegant cream-yellow to pink bicolour and high-centred, pointed buds enable a differentiated cut-flower / exhibition route, particularly where own-root longevity and stable ornamental value back long-term nursery and collection plantings. In typical UK nursery systems it can be integrated into premium container programmes and park-supply chains, benefitting operations in cooler regions with winter-hardy, wind-tolerant performance that suits structured public and thematic rose gardens. Own-root production allows a steady development curve from roots in year one to framework and shoots in year two and full ornamental performance by year three, supporting predictable scheduling and dependable capacity planning across nursery networks.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Collection hybrid tea rose, commercial type and group hybrid tea rose, current trade name Rose Aimée™ Hybrid tea rose Gaujard; former and registered cultivar names, ARS exhibition name and introduction year not provided. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in France in 1955 by Jean-Marie Gaujard at Roseraies Gaujard; parentage, initial distributor and precise registration year are not provided, positioning it as a classic mid‑century French hybrid tea selection. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Upright bush reaching about 100–140 cm high and 70–110 cm spread, moderately thorny with dense, glossy dark-green foliage; bush-trained form with 3–5 strong framework canes, spent blooms generally needing deadheading as self-cleaning is weak. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double flowers with around 26–39 petals, borne mainly solitary on stems; high-centred, pointed bud of cut-rose type, remontant with a generous second flowering wave supporting repeat ornamental and cut-flower use in season. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Cream-yellow petals with delicate pink edging, ARS code RB, RHS 53A and 155D; buds cream-ivory with lemon-yellow centre, opening to sunny yellow centre fading to cream–ivory and soft pink–peach edges, with colour retention generally good though lightening in strong sun. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Pleasant, soft fragrance of mild strength, giving a discreetly scented rose suited to quality-conscious but not strongly fragrance-driven markets; strongly double form limits pollinator access, so it is primarily ornamental rather than ecosystem-service focused. |
| Hip characteristics |
Due to double flowers, hip set is generally limited; where formed, hips are ellipsoidal, orange-red, around 12–17 mm in diameter, so fruiting value is minor and usually secondary to flower performance in production planning. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Medium overall disease resistance, with resistance to powdery mildew and black spot and medium rust response; winter hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b) with moderate heat tolerance, requiring irrigation during extended drought. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, cut flowers, specimens and parks with moderate maintenance and occasional pest control; marketed as an exclusive finished product for retail and reseller channels, ideally as a premium container line from own-root bush-trained material. |
