GUIRLANDE D'AMOUR® – white climbing rose – Lens
If You would like a romantic climbing rose that simply settles in and performs, GUIRLANDE D'AMOUR® is an easy choice for Irish gardens. This Hybrid Musk climber covers arches, walls and pergolas with airy clusters of pure white, sweetly scented blooms, creating a light, cottage-style feel without demanding care. Its muscatel fragrance is intense yet refined, and the semi-double flowers are naturally appealing to bees, giving Your garden a gentle, wildlife-friendly charm. Bred by Lens Roses and winner of ADR and multiple European medals, it combines classic beauty with modern disease resistance, remaining healthy even in our damp, fungus-prone climate. Own-root plants build strength steadily for a long life, regenerating well after pruning so Your rose keeps its elegant shape over many years. In the first year it focuses on roots, the second year on building shoots, and by the third season it reveals its full ornamental value as a generous, low-maintenance climber for everyday family gardens.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front-garden arch or pergola by the entrance
Ideal where You want a welcoming focal point that flowers repeatedly through the season, with a very strong, muscatel fragrance that greets You at the gate and offers easy enjoyment for beginners
Family seating area and terrace backdrop
Trains neatly along trellis or wires to frame patios, bringing abundant white clusters and a long-distance scent while keeping foliage healthy with minimal spraying in our damp, fungus-prone climate for busy-owners
Romantic cottage-garden fence or low house wall
Soft white, semi-double blooms sit beautifully against stone or render, echoing rural cottage styles; the own-root plant knits in slowly and lives for years, suiting long-term plans for homeowners
Small group planting on a larger pergola
Planting 1–3 together provides a curtain of flower clusters with reliable repeat flushes, so the structure looks dressed for much of the summer without complicated pruning, giving confidence to novices
Lightly shaded side passage or east-facing wall
Tolerates partial shade, continuing to flower and scent the space where the sun is limited, making awkward side paths softer and more inviting for urban-gardeners
Large container on a balcony or paved courtyard
Performs well in a substantial 40–50 litre container with a strong support, offering vertical interest and fragrance where soil is scarce, yet remaining straightforward to water and feed for city-residents
Informal flowering screen between neighbours
Its dense, mid-green foliage and moderate height help create a living partition; own-root growth fills from the base over time, giving a stable, regenerating screen for privacy-seekers
Pollinator-friendly mixed border with perennials
Semi-double flowers with accessible stamens attract bees, and the airy clusters pair naturally with herbs and cottage perennials, bringing movement and life to borders for wildlife-lovers
Decorating ideas
White-Arch Welcome – Train GUIRLANDE D'AMOUR® over a narrow metal arch, underplant with lavender and catmint for a scented blue-and-white entrance – ideal for homeowners who want an inviting, low-fuss front garden.
Cottage-Fence Garland – Let it weave along a timber fence with sea thrift and compact sage at the base to echo relaxed rural cottage borders – perfect for those seeking soft structure and charm around family homes.
Courtyard Column – Grow it in a 50 litre pot with a slim obelisk, adding rosemary and thyme at the rim to perfume small paved spaces – suited to balcony and courtyard gardeners needing vertical flower with little ground.
Evening-Fragrance Corner – Position near a seating nook with white hydrangeas and silver foliage plants so the strong muscatel scent and pale blooms glow at dusk – great for busy people who mainly enjoy the garden after work.
Bee-Friendly Screen – Combine along a wire support with salvia and delosperma, creating a light, semi-transparent flowering screen that hums with pollinators – appealing to nature-focused gardeners wanting beauty and biodiversity.

Information about the videos
The video series is not a “seasonal showcase”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
