DELÉRI – pink climbing rose – Delbard
Bring a sense of calm balance to a compact London front garden with DELÉRI, a perfume‑award winning climbing rose that turns pergolas, railings and drainpipe runs into vertical veils of soft, candy‑pink rosettes. Bred by Georges Delbard, its very strong, classic fragrance creates the feeling of walking a narrow path in post‑rain air, naturally suited to areas where rain and wind regularly test planting. As an own‑root rose, it offers reassuring longevity, steady regeneration after pruning, and reliable structure on arches, arbours or balcony trellis. The sparse thorns make it easier to train in tight urban spaces, while medium maintenance needs mean there is little more to do than tie in new shoots and enjoy its remontant, long‑season flowering. Give it good drainage in heavier soils and, over time, watch the classic “roots in year one, growth in year two, full garden presence in year three” development deliver lasting impact and a quietly sustainable sanctuary.
Freshly opened pink bloom of DELÉRI (Nahema).
Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front‑garden climber for narrow London terraces
Ideal where ground space is limited but you want a strong vertical element, this climber covers railings or downpipe trellis calmly and quickly while remaining manageable to prune and tie in for busy urban gardeners.
Pergolas, arbours and rose tunnels
The long, flexible canes and reliable height range allow you to create shaded walk‑through structures with scented arches of pastel pink, forming an intimate, romantic route that matures year on year for family garden owners.
Balcony or patio in a large container (40–50 L+)
Planted in a generous, well‑drained, peat‑free container with a simple trellis, it builds a long‑lived, reusable feature; regular top‑dressing and easy tying‑in are usually all that is needed for low‑maintenance seekers.
Rain‑aware, clay‑based urban gardens
Suited to British conditions where regular rain and wind meet heavier soils, it performs well when given decent drainage and a sturdy support, thriving without complex care for climate‑conscious gardeners.
Scent‑focused seating and dining areas
Positioned by a bench or small terrace, its very strong, classic perfume drifts on still evenings, creating an elegant atmosphere that feels indulgent yet surprisingly easy to maintain for fragrance enthusiasts.
Long‑term feature plant in sustainable redesigns
As an own‑root climber, it builds a durable framework that regrows well from the base after pruning or weather damage, supporting long‑range garden plans and reducing replacement needs for sustainability‑minded planners.
Softer boundary or screen instead of hard fencing
Trained along wires or an open fence, its dense, dark foliage and repeat pink rosettes form a living veil that softens boundaries, adding privacy without feeling imposing for neighbour‑friendly households.
Romantic entrance, porch or doorway planting
Used around a front door or shared entrance, its tidy growth, sparse prickles and dependable flowering create a welcoming, pretty frame with minimal fuss, ideal when time and space are limited for style‑conscious beginners.
Styling ideas
Romantic Archway – Train DELÉRI over a slim metal arch, underplant with lavender and nepeta for soft movement and colour echoes – for lovers of classic cottage charm.
Perfumed Pergola – Combine along a pergola beam with creeping thyme and Alpine catchfly at the base for scented summer evenings – for those turning a small terrace into an outdoor room.
Elegant Railings – Thread stems through simple black railings, pairing with low mounds of sage to keep the look refined but easy to manage – for urban homeowners upgrading the front path.
Balcony Screen – Grow in a 50‑litre trough against trellis, partnered with airy grasses to create a light yet private green filter – for flat‑dwellers seeking a gentle visual screen.
Doorway Welcome – Plant one on either side of a porch with ceanothus behind for layered blossom and foliage interest – for families wanting a memorable, low‑effort entrance.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Climbing rose cultivar DELéri, marketed as DELÉRI – pink climbing rose – Delbard, also known in exhibition as Nahema; part of the Scented Memories of Love collection of highly fragrant roses.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Georges Delbard in France from ‘Grand Siècle’ × ‘Heritage’; bred 1991, registered 1991, introduced to commerce 2006 through Georges Delbard SA, combining heritage charm with modern performance.
Awards and recognition
Multiple international fragrance awards, including Monza Perfume Award 1997, New Orleans Fragrance Award 2003, and Gifu Silver Medal plus Most Fragrant Rose 2006, alongside several additional medal honours.
Growth and structural characteristics
Large‑flowered climbing rose with 240–400 cm height and 140–240 cm spread, forming dense, dark green, slightly glossy foliage on climbing canes that are only sparsely thorned, suitable for training on structures.
Flower morphology
Large, double, rosette‑shaped blooms, 26–39 petals, usually borne singly on stems; remontant habit with a generous second flush, making it well suited to cutting and repeat ornamental display through the season.
Colour data and phenology
Soft pastel pink overall, ARS lp; buds deeper pink, opening to candy‑pink with paler rims (RHS 65C outer, 62D inner), later lightening with a silvery edge while maintaining generally good colour retention on the plant.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, intense, long‑lasting perfume with a classic rose character; bred and recognised specifically for fragrance, making it suitable where scent is a priority, such as near seating, doors or paths.
Hip characteristics
Occasional ellipsoidal hips form after flowering, approximately 8–12 mm in diameter, coloured orange‑red (RHS 40A); hips are modest and mainly of incidental ornamental interest rather than a primary feature.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Rated to around −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish Zone 3); disease resistance generally medium but notably good against powdery mildew and black spot, with only moderate susceptibility to rust in some seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best on sturdy supports with 165–300 cm spacing, planted in well‑drained soil; respond with medium maintenance, mainly tying‑in and basic pruning, and benefits from mulching and balanced feeding to sustain repeat bloom.
DELÉRI offers award‑winning fragrance, romantic repeat flowering and a forgiving, own‑root climbing habit that rewards patient training over years; a thoughtful choice if you value long‑term beauty with manageable effort.

As it opens, the deeper pink transforms into a uniform, candy-pink with a paler edge; before fading it lightens further, developing a silvery edging.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double (26–39‑petalled) flowers only weakly attract pollinators, as the double form and reduced stamen accessibility limit insects’ access to pollen and nectar.

Maintenance requirement medium; mostly requires minimal intervention, but occasional monitoring and pest control may be necessary.

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.
