Rosa Rose Synactif by Shiseido

Rosa Rose Synactif by Shiseido is a modern hybrid tea rose of beautiful stature. It is resistant, generous, and remarkably fragrant. Its roses pay tribute to the luxurious Japanese cosmetics brand in the most beautiful way. They boast a powerful and complex scent, revealing notes of lemon, basil, anise, rose, and lemon verbena. The fully double cup-shaped flowers are lilac-pink, taking on lovely mauve reflections as the hours go by. They bloom abundantly, from May to October, on a very healthy large bush. The long-lasting cut flowers are wonderful in a vase. It can be trained as a small climber. Awarded numerous times internationally, this rose is undoubtedly a safe bet. 

Rosa Rose Synactif by Shiseido is a modern bush rose created in 2008 by the rose breeder Delbard. It has won 10 medals, including the 1st prize at Bagatelle in 2006, the perfume prize, and a certificate of merit in Geneva. It is vigorous, with a bushy and flexible yet erect habit. It reaches about 1.75m (6ft) in height and 90cm (35in) in width at maturity under good conditions. It has a rapid growth rate. When trained as a climber, it can reach a height of 2m (7ft). Its branches are strong and thorny, carrying dense foliage with large dentate leaflets that are shiny dark green. It is less susceptible to diseases. Throughout summer, the plant produces waves of 10cm (4in) flowers, whose turbinated shape is characteristic of the hybrid tea rose category. The fully double roses are composed of petals whose colour ranges from pink to deep lilac and mauve. Their scent is very pronounced. The flowers are gathered in bouquets at the end of long shoots from the current year or by those that emerge from 2-year-old stems. This repeat-flowering rose will bloom until October if faded flowers are regularly removed.

Rosa Rose Synactif by Shiseido concentrates all the charm and fragrance of mauve roses while also possessing good health, a quality that is often lacking in this category of roses. It is a sturdy, nostalgic, and fragrant bush, ideal for planting in a large flowering hedge, in a bed, or in a group of 3 at the centre of a flower bed. It blends well with perennials and light annuals such as panicled baby's breath, bellflowers, panicled phlox, or tall foxgloves. Its vigorous growth means it can grow without support in a flowering hedge, along with a large bush rose (R. complicata, R. Alba), a vigorous clematis like 'Jackmanii Alba' or 'Prince Charles', or to be planted at the back of formal flower beds. It can be placed near the house to also enjoy its superb scent. Its long-lasting roses are stunning in bouquets, paired with lilies in summer or asters in autumn.
