ALSACE – red landscape shrub rose - Pekmez
With its vivid ruby-red blooms and compact bushy habit, ALSACE brings reliable colour to modest British front gardens without demanding complex care routines. This own-root, 2‑litre plant establishes steadily, forming a long-lived structure that regenerates well and copes better with typical garden mistakes. Its single, open flowers are naturally self-cleaning, so faded petals drop away and the shrub keeps a tidy look with minimal deadheading. ALSACE repeats flowering generously through the season, creating a harmonious backdrop for cottage-style companions, while its compact height makes it easy to fit into small beds, low hedges or mixed borders. In heavier soils it appreciates planting where drainage is improved to reduce waterlogging after prolonged rainfall, and you can expect a natural progression from rooting in the first year, to strong shoot growth in the second, and full ornamental value by the third season.

Target area
Reasoning
Small front‑garden bed by the path
The compact, bushy habit keeps ALSACE neatly within 85–115 cm, giving structure without overwhelming a narrow border. Its long-lived, own-root framework settles in and improves year by year, suiting a permanent layout for the householder.
Compact cottage‑style mixed border
Frequent repeat flowering ensures strong colour runs from early summer into autumn, weaving warm ruby-red accents among perennials and grasses. This dependable blooming rhythm helps maintain a ‘always something out’ feel for the beginner.
Low informal hedge along a driveway
The tidy, evenly bushy shape and recommended 55–65 cm spacing form a relaxed edging that still reads as a clear boundary. Own-root growth means gaps can be filled by natural thickening over time, rewarding the patient gardener.
Pollinator-friendly family garden corner
Single, open flowers with accessible stamens are easy for bees and other insects to use, supporting local pollinators near lawns and play areas. This makes ALSACE a decorative yet practical choice for the environmentally aware family.
Easy-care bed with minimal deadheading
Spent petals fall away naturally, so the shrub stays presentable even if you cannot deadhead regularly. This self-cleaning tendency keeps maintenance light and the display respectable for the time-pressed owner.
Colour accent in small group plantings
The rich, stable ruby-red colour holds well as blooms age, avoiding a muddled look in tight spaces. Grouped in threes or fives, ALSACE creates a focused block of colour that still feels refined for the style-conscious homeowner.
Raised or improved bed on heavy soil
In typical British clay, planting into a slightly raised, well-drained bed helps roots establish securely and supports long-term shrub stability, even after spells of persistent wet weather that challenge the casual gardener.
Large container on a sunny terrace (40–60 L)
In a 40–60 litre container with good compost, the compact, bushy framework and regular flowering give a long-season focal point by seating or doors, while own-root resilience offers reassuring longevity for the balcony or patio owner.
Styling ideas
Ruby-ribbon hedge – Plant a loose line along a drive at 55–60 cm intervals; let ALSACE form a low, ruby-red ribbon to soften hard edges – ideal for practical front‑garden owners wanting discreet structure.
Cottage duet – Combine with soft blue Scabiosa columbaria and pale pink perennials to echo traditional cottage borders – suited to romantically inclined gardeners seeking classic charm with reliable repeat colour.
Patio focal pot – Grow ALSACE in a 50–60 litre terracotta container near seating, surrounding the base with trailing thyme – perfect for small‑space urban gardeners wanting a single, long‑season feature.
Pollinator patch – Mix ALSACE with Salvia nemorosa and other nectar plants in a sunny corner so bees can move easily between them – attractive for wildlife‑minded families creating a child‑friendly nature spot.
Red accent trio – Plant three ALSACE in a triangle in a small bed, underplanting with low silver foliage for contrast – a good choice for design‑conscious beginners wanting simple but striking structure.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Modern shrub rose registered as PEKtarampe, marketed as ALSACE within the NIRPAYSAGE collection; landscape shrub type suitable for beds and general garden planting.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Paul Pekmez for NIRP International in France; registered and first distributed in 1992, with parentage not recorded but selected for landscape shrub use.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, evenly rounded shrub reaching about 85–115 cm in both height and spread, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness on the stems.
Flower morphology
Small, single, cup-shaped blooms with around 5–12 petals, typically borne in clusters; remontant habit with particularly abundant second flush after the main flowering.
Colour data and phenology
Rich ruby-red flowers (RHS 46A–46B) that open bright, then mellow through medium red to raspberry red; colour retention is very good with a subtle fiery glow in full sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Very weakly scented rose with a light floral character only faintly noticeable close up; grown primarily for its colour impact and landscape value rather than perfume.
Hip characteristics
Only minimal hip formation expected; when present the hips are small, spherical, about 8–12 mm in diameter, developing a red colour late in the season.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to around −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b) but very susceptible to black spot, powdery mildew and rust; established plants handle normal heat and moderate drought.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny beds, hedges or mass plantings at 55–100 cm spacing; thrives in well-drained soil with regular feeding and consistent plant protection to control fungal diseases.
ALSACE NIRPAYSAGE PEKtarampe offers compact structure, long-season repeat flowering and naturally self-cleaning blooms on a resilient own-root framework, so it is well worth considering for a lasting spot in your garden.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”; it illustrates the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root cultivation in a tangible way: how the plant is built up, what the root system is like and how the shoot system regenerates. The recordings were therefore made at different times and with plants at various stages of development, so mixed foliage levels and differing stages of growth may appear in the videos. They are not a ‘sample’ of the batch dispatched, but a visual explanation of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical for the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown in the upper part of the product page.
