TYP KASSEL – mid-pink historic Centifolia rose
Step into a post-rain front garden and you will notice how fragrance, sculpted petals and soft colour turn a narrow London path into a calm, romantic passageway. ‘Typ Kassel’ is a historic Centifolia shrub that offers generous, very double rosette blooms with a powerful, sweet citrus scent, ideal where you want atmosphere more than fuss. Its bushy, medium-tall growth creates gentle structure for railings, low boundaries and rainwater-conscious planting, while moderate disease resistance and hardy nature suit typical British conditions with wet spells and cool winters, even where clay soils call for careful drainage. As an own-root rose it builds longevity and quiet resilience, regrowing reliably from the base and keeping its character year after year, so you can simply water, deadhead and enjoy the evolving forms rather than battling demanding maintenance.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Terraced-house front garden path
The bushy, 120–190 cm habit frames a narrow path with scented, mid-pink rosettes, creating a welcoming, romantic entrance that looks mature within a few seasons for busy urban gardeners
Rainwater-friendly clay front garden
Once established in improved clay with good drainage, its hardy roots cope well with typical British wet spells, giving reliable structure and bloom without needing complex irrigation for sustainability‑minded homeowners
Scented seating corner
The very strong, sweet citrus fragrance carries on still evenings, so a single shrub near a bench or small terrace can perfume the whole corner with classic historic-rose charm for fragrance‑loving beginners
Mixed historic rose border
Medium height, bushy growth and uniform mid-pink flowers combine easily with perennials and grasses, adding historic character and soft shapes without overpowering neighbouring plants for traditional style enthusiasts
Low, informal flowering hedge
Planted at around 105 cm centres, it forms a gently undulating, thorny barrier that screens and defines boundaries while flowering repeatedly through the season for family‑garden owners
Feature shrub in sustainable scheme
Own-root growth underpins a long-lived framework; after a root-focused first year and stronger shoots in the second, the third year brings its full ornamental value with minimal ongoing intervention for long‑term planners
Cut-flower corner by the door
Large, very double, mid-pink blooms on sturdy stems are excellent for short vases, bringing historic garden atmosphere indoors from a compact, easy-to-access planting area for home bouquet makers
Large container on balcony or patio
In a 40–50 litre peat-free container with regular watering, this moderate, bushy shrub keeps a vertical accent and strong scent close to windows and seating, even where ground planting is limited for space‑conscious city dwellers
Styling ideas
Romantic Walkway – Line a short front path with Typ Kassel and low lavender, letting scented blooms brush passers-by – ideal for fragrance-focused city gardeners

Historic Accent – Use a single Typ Kassel as a focal shrub among old brick, fountain grass and salvaged pots to echo period charm – perfect for lovers of heritage style
Scented Bench – Place a bench within arm’s reach of one or two shrubs, underplant with sage and Bupleurum for a calm, reflective nook – great for evening relaxers
Balcony Showcase – Grow Typ Kassel in a 50 litre container with airy grasses and herbs, creating a tall, perfumed backdrop against railings – designed for small-space gardeners
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
Typ Kassel is a historic Centifolia shrub rose from the Historic rose collection; current trade name “Typ Kassel Historic rose”, grown and supplied here as an own-root eleanorROSE ORIGINAL plant.
Origin and breeding
Presumed variant or descendant of remontant centifolias such as ‘Lee’s Perpetual’; breeder and exact breeding year unknown, originally circulated by several specialist German nurseries.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, medium-tall shrub reaching about 120–190 cm high and 100–160 cm wide, with moderately dense, matt mid-green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming soft, rounded outlines in the border.
Flower morphology
Large, very double rosette blooms, typically over 40 petals, borne mainly singly on stems; remontant with a good main flush and lighter repeat flowering later in the season.
Colour data and phenology
Flowers open vivid medium pink, outer petals 68C and inner 68D, later fading quickly in strong sun to paler, sometimes two-toned pink; colour is more uniform in cooler, less exposed positions.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, far-reaching fragrance with a sweet, citrus character; designed primarily as a scented ornamental, with lush Centifolia-style blooms rather than pollinator-focused flower forms.
Hip characteristics
Hip set is sparse because of the very double flowers; where produced, expect occasional small, spherical orange-red hips around 10–15 mm in diameter in late season.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Winter hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4); good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, moderate susceptibility to rust, and poor tolerance of prolonged heat or drought.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in well-drained, humus-rich soil with regular watering and occasional rust checks; suitable for flowerbeds, scented gardens, hedging and cutting, and for large containers from around 40–50 litres.
TYP KASSEL – mid-pink historic Centifolia rose offers powerful fragrance, romantic bloom form and long-lived own-root reliability; a considered choice if you value atmosphere and durability in a compact garden space.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
TYP KASSEL – mid-pink historic Centifolia rose
Product Type:
eleanorROSE® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Meaning of Cultivar Name:
The term "Typ Kassel" refers to the Kassel type, as the cultivar was identified in Wilhelmshöhe Park in Kassel and took its working name from there.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its strongly double flowers — from simple through semi‑double to fully double forms, which increasingly restrict stamen accessibility — make it of low attractiveness to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its very double flowers conceal the stamens; primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Rose hip formation is expected to be sparse due to the double flowers; occasionally spherical, orange-red hips 10–15 mm in diameter may form.

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.
