MYRIAM, COURIR POUR ELLES – pink park rose – EVElubis
Designed for today’s small, rain-conscious front gardens, EVElubis offers dense, rounded structure and bright fuchsia-pink flowers that keep the border lively from early summer to autumn. Its naturally uniform habit makes it easy to place in neat London terraces or relaxed family plots, giving reliable impact with minimal shaping. Compact yet spreading, it fills space quickly in beds or larger containers while keeping pathways clear and child-friendly. Semi-double blooms are self-cleaning, so most spent flowers fall away without fiddly deadheading, helping you enjoy more colour and less upkeep. Strong hardiness and good heat tolerance suit exposed, breezy sites where roses can struggle, coping well with blustery showers and fast-drying pavements. As an own-root shrub it offers reassuring longevity, rebuilding from its base after weather or pruning set-backs, with the first year focused on roots, the second on shaping shoots, and the third revealing full ornamental impact in a settled, sustainable planting.
Usage options
| Target area | Reasoning |
|---|
| Front-garden focal shrub near the entrance |
Dense branching and a balanced, spreading habit create an immediate focal point without overwhelming a small frontage, giving year-round structure and a welcoming framework to the front path for the time-poor homeowner |
| Bedding rose in mixed flowerbeds |
Neat, even growth makes it simple to repeat through a border for rhythm and cohesion, blending easily with perennials and grasses so newer gardeners can achieve a composed, professional look with limited experimentation for the cautious beginner |
| Low, informal flowering hedge |
Planted at hedge spacing, its uniform outline and naturally filling side-branches form a soft, semi-transparent screen that marks boundaries without feeling heavy, ideal where privacy is needed but light and neighbourly contact still matter to the sociable family |
| Urban rainwater-friendly front garden |
Flower clusters cope well with showery, breezy weather on exposed streets, keeping colour through unsettled spells while their compact size fits permeable, gravelled or planted driveways that help surface water soak away for the sustainability-minded city-dweller |
| Large container on balcony or terrace (40–50 L+) |
Suitably vigorous for a generous pot, it fills a 40–50 litre container with a rounded crown, giving long-season flower clusters and greenery where soil is scarce, yet remaining manageable to water, reposition and lightly prune for the balcony-focused gardener |
| Heat-exposed, south-facing spots |
Good performance in hot, drying conditions means it retains foliage and flower quality on sun-baked walls or patios, helping to green up heat-prone corners and paved spaces that can defeat more delicate roses for the sun-soaked courtyard-owner |
| Low-maintenance family play garden |
Reliable self-cleaning clusters reduce the need for constant deadheading, so borders stay presentable between weekend sessions; fewer faded blooms on the plant mean less mess around play areas and seating for the busy parent |
| Long-term, resilient planting schemes |
Own-root growth gives a durable framework that can regrow from the base after hard pruning or winter damage, supporting a long design life and stable appearance in schemes intended to mature gracefully over many seasons for the future-focused planner |

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter | Data |
|---|
| Name and registration |
EVElubis is a shrub-type park rose marketed as MYRIAM, COURIR POUR ELLES – a compact, fuchsia-pink landscape rose suited to bedding, hedging and specimen uses in private gardens and urban plantings. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in France by Jérôme Rateau (EVE – André Eve Nurseries and Rose Gardens) around 2008, and introduced to the market in 2016 as a versatile, decorative park-shrub rose for European garden conditions. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Spreading, bushy habit reaching 80–120 cm high and 90–130 cm wide, with dense, medium-green, slightly glossy foliage; moderately thorny shoots form an even, uniform shrub that reads well in repeated plantings. |
| Flower morphology |
Semi-double, flat, small flowers (around 0.5–1.5 inches) borne in clusters, with 13–25 petals; remontant and capable of abundant second flushes, with good self-cleaning as most spent blooms drop naturally. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Vivid, pure fuchsia-pink blooms with ARS DP, RHS 66A outer and 66B inner tones; colour moderates to cyclamen-pink towards senescence, often paler at the centre with subtle marginal highlights as flowers open fully. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance is very weak and barely noticeable; this cultivar is selected primarily for its colour effect and structural presence in beds and park-style plantings rather than for scented garden use or cutting for perfume. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rose-hip set is limited due to the semi-double, self-cleaning flowers; when produced, hips are bright red, ellipsoidal and approximately 6–12 mm, adding occasional fine detail rather than heavy autumn display. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Very hardy (RHS H7; approx. –32 to –29 °C; USDA 4b, Swedish zone 5) with good tolerance of heat and moderate drought; however, foliar disease resistance is low, so regular protection is advised in humid areas. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Suited to flowerbeds, park-style groups, larger containers and urban green spaces; plant 90–100 cm apart in groups or 180 cm as a specimen, provide fertile, drained soil, and maintain a consistent fungicide programme. |
MYRIAM, COURIR POUR ELLES (EVElubis) offers compact structure, self-cleaning colour and long-lived own-root resilience, a thoughtful choice if you wish to establish an enduring, easy-to-manage pink feature.
