Description
The 'Pierre de Ronsard' rose is a reliable choice for any garden, an absolutely charming variety renowned for its large, perfectly organized flowers in various shades of pink that are hard to resist. Prized and awarded multiple times, its reputation speaks for itself. It is a tall shrub rose, classified as a climbing rose, with excellent vigour and fast growth, and glossy foliage. Its large flowers, reminiscent of old-fashioned roses, unfortunately do not have a scent, but that is easily forgiven given their beauty!
This rose will quickly reach a height and width of 2m (7ft). It blooms from June until the first frost, as long as it is well-fed and watered, as the plant is vigorous but also quite demanding. Train it on a trellis in a well-exposed location: based on our experience, it looks its best in full sun. It produces strong, thorny branches that are slightly stiff, capable of supporting the weight of the flowers. The young shoots of this rose are reddish, then they unfold into large leaflets with a vibrant and glossy green colour, very pleasing to the eye. This foliage, fairly healthy at the beginning of the season, is somewhat susceptible to disease in very wet weather and towards the end of the season. The flowering period is long and early. In warm regions, large solitary buds of a light yellow colour striated with carmine form as early as April. They open into flowers measuring 10 to 13 cm (4 to 5in) in diameter, perfectly round and composed of 70 petals neatly imbricated. The colour is predominantly pink, with a fresh pink shade that almost becomes white towards the edges, shaded with carmine at the base of the petals and in the heart of the flower. Pierre de Ronsard is capable of flowering throughout the entire season, in successive waves, and its autumn re-blooming is very beautiful.
We initially encountered some difficulties with this rose. The flowers would wither before even opening. After several attempts in different locations, it finally thrived when planted on the facade of our house, exposed to full sun. In fact, it requires a lot of heat, especially in cooler regions, to thrive. However, it can be disappointing iin warmer regions if not regularly fed and watered during summer. Once you find the right spot, it is a glorious plant until the middle of autumn! This rose is perfect for making bouquets, but it does have one flaw: the scent is very discreet, almost non-existent, even in warm climates. In a cottage garden, you can accompany the blooming of 'Pierre de Ronsard' with a white or light blue clematis, and adorn the base with campanulas, foxgloves, and perennial geraniums.
Bred by Meilland in 1985
The 'Pierre de Ronsard' rose received the highest accolade from the World Federation of Rose Societies as the "Favorite Rose of the World" in 2006.

Planting and care
The 'Pierre de Ronsard' rose prefers sunny locations, heavy, fertile, deep, and moist soils. While it does not appreciate excessive limestone, it tolerates it. To prevent diseases, make sure that it is planted in a well-ventilated area with well-drained soil. To plant your rose, prepare the soil by crumbling it and adding an amendment, such as bonemeal, at the bottom of the planting hole. Water abundantly after planting to remove air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root growth. Mulch and add manure or compost at the end of winter.
Roses are often spotted or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose; it is a natural phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
