AGNÈS SCHILLIGER – pink nostalgic rose - Massad
Step out to your front garden after rain and meet balance in the rich, raspberry-spiced perfume of AGNÈS SCHILLIGER, a romantic shrub rose designed for easy, low-fuss gardens. Its bushy habit and glossy foliage hold their poise in blustery, wet weather typical of many UK coastlines, while the large, very double rosette blooms deliver classic “girly” charm from early summer into autumn. As an own-root rose, it offers reassuring longevity, quietly building a sturdy underground framework that supports year-on-year flowering with less effort from you, ideal for compact London terraces and rainwater-conscious city plots. Give it a sunny spot, prepare the soil for dependable drainage, and watch it settle first with roots, then with confident new shoots, before revealing its full nostalgic display by the third season.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front-garden feature shrub
Bushy growth and 80–120 cm height make a perfectly scaled focal point beside a front door or path, with generous, romantic pink rosettes that read clearly from the pavement for style-conscious homeowners and beginners.
Low nostalgic hedge
Plant at 50 cm intervals to form a softly billowing, rose-scented boundary that stays compact enough for small urban plots yet dense enough to signal privacy and welcome for design-aware family gardeners.
Mixed rose and perennial bed
The moderate height, dark glossy foliage and repeat flowering allow easy weaving among perennials like lavender or nepeta, providing season-long structure and colour for fans of relaxed cottage-style borders.
Rainwater-aware city planting
Performs well where improved soil structure channels excess rain away from roots, supporting sustainable front-garden designs that soften hard landscaping for environmentally minded urban owners.
Large container on patio or balcony
In a 40–50 litre peat-free container with regular watering, its bushy habit and repeated flushes of magenta-pink blooms create a long-lasting statement for balcony, terrace or courtyard-focused residents.
Cut-flower production for the home
Long-stemmed, very double, strongly scented flowers suit informal home arrangements; repeated flushes mean vases can be refreshed throughout summer, appealing to fragrance-loving home florists.
Long-term structural planting
Own-root stock establishes steadily, maturing into a resilient shrub that responds well to renewal pruning over the years, supporting a stable, evolving planting framework for future-focused garden planners.
Weather-resilient family garden border
Moderate disease resistance and a tidy, bushy shape hold up in typical British spells of wind and rain, keeping maintenance reasonable for time-pressed family and city-front-garden keepers.
Styling ideas
TerraceRomantic – Underplant with lavender and soft grasses along a townhouse path for a scented, feminine welcome – ideal for London terrace and small-front-garden owners.
BalconyClassic – Grow in a 50 litre container with peat-free compost and trailing nepeta to spill over the rim – suited to balcony gardeners seeking a single statement rose.
CottageStripe – Alternate AGNÈS SCHILLIGER with white perennials like gaura in a narrow bed to create gentle colour rhythm – perfect for fans of soft, nostalgic schemes.

Technical cultivar profile
Metric
Data
Name and registration
Shrub nostalgia rose, Romantic group; registered as MASasch, traded as Agnès Schilliger Les Provencelles® MASasch; ARS exhibition name Agnes Schilliger; female given-name cultivar.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Dominique Massad for Roses Guillot in France before 1998, from magonc × ('Destiny' × 'Mary Rose'); introduced by Guillot in 2002 and aligned with the Les Provencelles® collection.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy shrub to around 80–120 cm high and 65–100 cm wide, moderately thorny, with moderately dense, glossy dark green foliage forming a rounded, substantial presence in beds or large containers.
Flower morphology
Large, very double rosette flowers (around 7–10 cm), 40+ petals, produced in clusters; remontant with a strong first flush and an equally generous second, suitable for cutting and garden display.
Colour data and phenology
Intense magenta-rose pink with crimson–purple undertone; buds dark cyclamen-pink, opening vivid magenta-pink then fading to mauve-pink with lilac-grey veiling; ARS DPk, RHS 58C–58A, good colour retention.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, well-pronounced fragrance with spicy and raspberry-like notes; suitable for gardeners prioritising scent near seating or entrances, and for cutting where perfume is important indoors.
Hip characteristics
Produces moderately abundant spherical red hips, about 10–15 mm across; they add discrete late-season interest but are secondary to the variety’s primary role as a nostalgic, cut-friendly shrub.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately -23 to -21 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6a, Swedish Zon 3); disease resistance moderate to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, benefiting from good air flow and basic preventive care.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers a sunny site with well-prepared, drained but moisture-retentive soil; plant 60 cm apart in beds, 50 cm in hedges, and give own-root plants time to establish before expecting peak performance.
AGNÈS SCHILLIGER offers romantic, long-season colour, strong fragrance and a durable own-root habit that settles in for years of reliable flowering, making it a thoughtful choice for understated yet characterful gardens.

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.
