Claire Marshall – mauve floribunda bedding rose
This floribunda rose brings richly mauve clusters of very double blooms to compact beds and borders, keeping a tidy outline that suits smaller family gardens and front-of-house planting. In typical British conditions it copes reliably with cool summers and breezier, coastal-influenced sites when given reasonable soil preparation and moisture. The strongly scented flowers open in generous flushes, first vivid and then softening through silvered tones for a long, ornamental display from a relatively small footprint. As an own-root plant, it builds a balanced, compact bush that matures steadily, supporting a long-lived, regenerating framework without complicated pruning. Easy-going maintenance needs and medium disease resistance mean that with simple watering and basic care you can expect dependable flowering, while the bushy habit also suits larger containers of 40–50 litres or more, allowing the rose to shine near seating areas or entrances.
Freshly opened flower of Claire Marshall with vivid fuchsia petals and a soft silvery-lilac sheen.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal bed
The compact, bushy habit forms a coherent, low mound, ideal for neat beds in front gardens where space is limited but you still want a clear point of interest. Its manageable size makes shaping straightforward for beginners.
Small mixed border with perennials
Clustered blooms in mauve tones sit well among perennials such as coneflowers and asters, giving repeated colour while the dense foliage fills gaps. This makes it easy to achieve a classic cottage feel for aesthetes.
Near-entrance path or doorway
The strong, long-lasting fragrance is most appreciated where you pass frequently, so planting by a drive or front path lets you enjoy scented clusters on everyday routes, rewarding even modest care for homeowners.
Feature in large patio container
In a 40–50 litre or larger container with good drainage, the compact root system supports a balanced crown and regular flowering, bringing colour and scent to paved spaces without major digging, ideal for urbanites.
Small group planting in lawn pocket
Planting three to five bushes at the recommended spacing creates a rounded, unified group that reads as one mauve cloud, while medium maintenance needs stay manageable for those seeking easy structure, suiting families.
Bed in cooler, breezier gardens
This variety adapts well in typical UK conditions, continuing to flower in cooler summers and coping with wind-exposed plots when soil is prepared to improve drainage on heavier ground, reassuring cautious gardeners.
Part-shade side garden border
Its suitability for partial shade allows planting along side paths or north-east aspects where full sun is limited; you still gain repeated flowering without specialist techniques, an advantage for busy neighbours.
Long-term rose feature bed
As an own-root bush, it gradually forms its permanent framework, supporting stable shape and reliable flowering over many seasons with simple annual pruning and feeding, rewarding long-view planning for committed enthusiasts.
Styling ideas
COTTAGE CLUSTER – Plant three roses in a triangle and underplant with low catmint or hardy geraniums to soften edges, ideal for homeowners wanting a romantic, informal front border.
MAUVE RIBBON – Line a short path with evenly spaced bushes for a low fragrant hedge that guides visitors to the door, suited to those who like orderly structure with minimal upkeep.
PATIO PERFUME – Grow one plant in a 50–60 litre terracotta pot with trailing ivy or lobelia to dress a sitting area, perfect for balcony and courtyard gardeners seeking seasonal scent.
EVENING GLOW – Combine with silver foliage plants and soft pink perennials so the pastel silver-mauve blooms stand out at dusk, appealing to after-work gardeners who enjoy subtle, calming colour.
FOCAL ISLAND – Create a small circular bed in lawn with this rose at the centre, edged by dwarf asters for late-season colour, ideal for families who want a simple, eye-catching feature.

Origin and breeding
Bred by Philip Harkness, R Harkness & Co Ltd, United Kingdom; breeding year 2010, registered 2011, introduced 2012, with parentage recorded as unknown in current literature.

Colour data and phenology
Rich mauve with lilac tint; buds deep mauve with darker rims, opening vivid fuchsia then fading through violet-mauve to pastel silver-mauve, ARS code m, RHS 71B and 75A references.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, long-lasting fragrance of unspecified character; decorative rather than pollinator-focused due to dense petals limiting access to stamens, best enjoyed in frequently used garden areas.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small, spherical red hips around 7–11 mm in diameter may form after flowering, providing discreet seasonal interest but not a dominant ornamental feature of the cultivar.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Medium resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust; requires regular watering in dry spells, with hardiness approximately −21 to −18 °C, corresponding to RHS H7 and USDA zone 6b.
Horticultural recommendations
Recommended for beds, containers and specimen use; spacing 40–75 cm depending on layout, tolerates partial shade, benefits from regular feeding, watering and occasional plant protection measures.
Claire Marshall offers compact habit, rich mauve repeat flowering and enduring fragrance on a long-lived own-root framework, making it a thoughtful choice if you want reliable colour with straightforward care.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double-flowered blooms with 40+ petals attract pollinators only to a limited extent, as the very full petal form restricts access to the stamens.

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.
