Boule de Parfum – pink‑lilac shaded bedding floribunda rose – Kunieda
Fragrant and exquisitely elegant, Boule de Parfum brings a softly romantic, mauve‑lilac glow to compact borders and front gardens while remaining reassuringly manageable for everyday care. Its rounded, pompon blooms appear in generous clusters, opening from dusky buds to frosted lilac heads with a strong, sweet, powdery aroma that lingers in the still evening air. As an own‑root plant it matures steadily into a bushy, well‑balanced shrub, supporting a long lifespan and good regeneration after pruning. This floribunda is naturally suited to smaller British plots, coping reliably with damp air and occasional heavy showers in exposed, breezy sites along with dependable performance in typical changeable weather. With medium maintenance needs and flexible pruning, it is easy to keep the plant neat yet floriferous, whether you favour low front‑of‑house planting, cottage‑style mixes or a single, eye‑catching specimen in a large 40–50 litre planter. Over the first three seasons it focuses on roots, then framework, then finally delivers its full ornamental impact in a stable, repeat‑flowering display.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden feature shrub
The compact, bushy habit and 85–115 cm height make Boule de Parfum ideal for a neat, welcoming focus by the front path or bay window, creating a smart look without complex pruning; its rounded form suits appearance‑focused beginners
Classic cottage‑style border
Soft mauve‑pink, ball‑shaped flowers blend beautifully with traditional cottage perennials such as yarrow and coneflowers, giving a romantic, layered effect while remaining easy to manage at shoulder height for cottage‑garden enthusiasts
Repeated low hedge or edging row
Planted 35–40 cm apart, its dense foliage and cluster flowers form a tidy, low hedge that defines paths and beds; moderate maintenance keeps the line attractive without specialist skills for busy family gardeners
Patio container in 40–50 litre pot
In a generous container with good drainage, this own‑root floribunda builds a stable root system and bushy top growth, giving long‑term flowering on patios and terraces when watering is regular for urban balcony‑and‑patio owners
Small group planting in beds
Groups of three to five plants at recommended spacing produce a coherent block of colour, with remontant flowering providing several waves of bloom through the season, creating impact without intricate layout for design‑conscious beginners
Mixed ornamental border with perennials
Moderate disease resistance and medium maintenance needs suit a mixed planting where roses share space with hardy perennials, coping well with humid spells and showery, breezy conditions common in many British gardens for low‑intervention gardeners
Cut‑flower use from the garden
The strongly scented, pompon‑shaped blooms on floribunda stems provide charming, fragrant bunches for the home; regular cutting encourages fresh clusters, supporting both display and floral use for home‑decor enthusiasts
Long‑term family garden planting
As an own‑root shrub it builds a durable framework and can regenerate well from harder pruning after harsh winters, supporting long‑term presence once it has moved from root building to full ornamental development for long‑view homeowners
Styling ideas
COTTAGE TRIO – Combine Boule de Parfum with soft creams and whites in a narrow border beside the front path for a traditional cottage feel – ideal for appearance‑focused beginners
LILAC RIBBON – Plant a repeated line along a driveway or low fence to form a gentle mauve edging that stays neat without tall growth – suitable for busy family gardeners
EVENING PATIO – Place one shrub in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot near seating where the strong, powdery scent can be enjoyed on summer evenings – perfect for urban balcony‑and‑patio owners
MIXED MEADOW – Weave among yarrow, coneflowers and airy annuals to create a relaxed, nature‑friendly border with soft lilac globes rising from mid‑green foliage – designed for low‑intervention gardeners
ROMANTIC CLUSTER – Group three plants in a small bed to form a rounded, continuously flowering mound that reads as one generous shrub – appealing to design‑conscious beginners
Technical cultivar profile
Trait
Data
Name and registration
Boule de Parfum bedding floribunda rose (trade name), shrub‑type floribunda for beds and borders; French‑inspired name meaning “scent ball”, reflecting its globular, perfumed blooms.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Kunieda Keiji at Rose Farm Keiji (Wabara, Japan) and introduced around 2010; parentage is not recorded, but selection focused on fragrance, colour and garden suitability.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy shrub to about 85–115 cm high and 50–70 cm wide, with dense, mid‑green, slightly glossy foliage and moderate prickles, forming a compact, balanced outline in beds and smaller gardens.
Flower morphology
Semi‑double, ball‑shaped pompon blooms of medium size in clusters, with roughly 13–25 petals; remontant, producing plentiful second flushes through the season on well‑established plants.
Colour data and phenology
Mauve‑pink with white sheen and golden‑yellow centre; buds open medium purple then fade through pale lavender to a frosted lilac, giving a softly shifting colour effect across the flowering period.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, long‑lasting scent with a sweet, powdery character; fragrance is easily noticeable in still air and suits planting near doors, paths or seating where it can be regularly appreciated.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small spherical hips, about 8–12 mm across, ripening to red; usually incidental in normal deadheading regimes, but can add modest seasonal interest if some flowers are left uncut.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b); moderate disease resistance, with occasional powdery mildew, black spot or rust in high‑pressure seasons, best managed by good hygiene and care.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to beds, borders and larger containers; plant 35–65 cm apart depending on use, in well‑drained soil with regular feeding and watering, plus medium‑level pruning and occasional plant protection.
Boule de Parfum offers strongly scented lilac pompon blooms, compact easy‑care growth and long‑term stability from its own‑root form, making it a thoughtful choice if you wish to enjoy reliable cottage‑style colour for many years.

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.
