Amandine Chanel™ – strawberry-pink nostalgia shrub rose
Imagine sitting down to afternoon tea beneath a rose-covered arbour as strawberry blooms unfold in softly cupped rosettes, bringing a touch of nostalgia to a small family garden. Amandine Chanel™ is a bushy, compact shrub rose that fits beautifully into cottage-style borders and hedges, its dense mid-green foliage creating a calm, romantic backdrop for season-long flowering. Developed on its own roots, it offers reassuring longevity and reliable regrowth after pruning or harsh winters, giving a stable presence in the garden year after year. Once planted in well-prepared soil with sensible drainage, it settles in quickly, ideal for average gardens that see a fair amount of wind and rain near the coast. Over time you will notice a gentle fragrance with fresh, fruity notes around seating areas and paths, and medium care needs that feel perfectly manageable between busy weeks. In its first seasons it focuses on rooting, then building bushy structure, before reaching its full, storybook display of richly petalled clusters that sit so well with lupins and airy baby’s-breath.

Target area
Reasoning
Cottage-style flower bed in a family garden
The compact, bushy habit and strawberry-pink rosette clusters make it an easy centrepiece in a small to medium border, giving a classic cottage look without demanding complex pruning or constant spraying, ideal for a relaxed homeowner.
Low, romantic hedge along a path or lawn
Planted at 50–60 cm intervals, its dense mid-green foliage and repeat-flowering clusters knit into a soft, storybook boundary that screens play areas or kitchen gardens while staying low enough to feel open and welcoming for the strolling family.
Own-root specimen near a seating or tea area
As a solitary shrub at about 90 cm spacing, the own-root form builds a long-lived framework that can be rejuvenated if needed, so the plant matures gracefully around terraces and benches, rewarding patient beginners.
Mixed romantic border with cottage perennials
The warm strawberry-pink flowers blend effortlessly with lupins and soft gypsophila, and medium care needs suit borders where you prefer low-chemical routines but still want dependable flowering for colour-loving gardeners.
Small park or communal garden planting
Stable, bushy growth and medium disease resistance give a tidy impression with moderate maintenance, ideal for lightly tended communal beds where regular deadheading and occasional watering fit the schedule of busy custodians.
Informal country-style front garden
Its nostalgia-rose character and gentle fresh, fruity scent welcome visitors by the gate or front door, creating a soft, traditional feel that pairs well with hedging and a kitchen garden for romantically minded owners.
Large container on patio or terrace (40–50 litres minimum)
In a generously sized container with good compost, watering is straightforward and growth remains compact, letting you enjoy repeat blooms and fragrance close to the house with simple seasonal care for time-pressed urbanites.
Weather-exposed beds in typical British gardens
Once established in well-drained soil, its bushy structure anchors it steadily and copes well with blustery, rainy days common in many UK gardens, especially where coastal winds test less robust roses, reassuring cautious starters.
Styling ideas
Tea-Table – Position Amandine Chanel™ by a small seating area, underplant with low baby’s-breath for a cloud of pastel pink and white, perfect for those who enjoy lingering over afternoon tea outdoors – romantic homeowners
Cottage-Hedge – Create a low, wavy hedge along a front path, interspersing roses with lavender for structure and scent, suiting families who prefer traditional, easy-to-read garden lines – classic-style buyers
Kitchen-Border – Mix this nostalgia rose with herbs and soft pink lupins beside a vegetable plot, giving a pretty yet practical edge that appeals to those who like ornamental and kitchen gardens combined – rural gardeners
Pastel-Mix – Combine with white foxgloves and pale campanulas in a narrow side border, using its bushy habit as the constant element among taller spires – design-conscious cottage-garden lovers
Patio-Arbour – Stand a large 50-litre container by a light wooden arch and let the shrub frame the entrance with repeat blooms, ideal for renters or small-plot owners wanting romance without permanent structures – busy urban residents
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Amandine Chanel™ Générosa® (MASamcha), shrub nostalgia rose in the Romantic group; commercial type ornamental bed and garden rose; ARS exhibition name Amandine Chanel®.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Dominique Massad for Guillot in France, 2004; parentage not published. Introduced by Guillot as part of the Générosa® collection, representing modern shrub roses with old-rose charm.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy shrub reaching about 85–115 cm in height and 60–80 cm spread, with dense, matt, mid-green foliage and moderate prickliness, forming a rounded, well-filled plant silhouette over time.
Flower morphology
Double, rosette-shaped flowers with around 26–39 petals, medium in size and produced mainly in clusters; remontant with an abundant second flush, especially when regularly deadheaded in summer.
Colour data and phenology
Strawberry-pink blooms open from deep pink buds, showing warmer mid-pink at full flower, then fading to a delicate pastel pink with a light silvery sheen on the petal edges as they age on the plant.
Fragrance and aroma
Mild, fresh, fruity fragrance that is noticeable at close quarters without overwhelming nearby seating; suitable for family gardens where gentle scent is preferred over strongly perfumed varieties.
Hip characteristics
Rose hip formation is generally sparse because of the double flowers; where present, it produces small, spherical orange-red hips around 7–9 mm in diameter, adding light late-season interest.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, roughly USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); medium resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, benefitting from good air circulation and basic hygiene.
Horticultural recommendations
Prefers sunny positions and fertile, well-drained soil; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection. Recommended spacings: 50–60 cm for hedging or mass planting, 90 cm for solitary or feature use.
Amandine Chanel™ offers romantic strawberry-pink clusters, a compact, bushy shape and reassuring own-root longevity for family gardens, making it a thoughtful choice if you favour easy, long-lived roses with gentle charm.

AMANDINE CHANEL™ – pink nostalgia rose - Massad
Product Type:
darinaROSE® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Closed Bud:
Deep, vivid pink, with a slightly darker shade at the tip.

Rich Strawberry - pink outer petals, paler inside with a coral tinge.
Full Bloom:
Warm mid-pink rosette, with the outer petals showing a subtle silvery back-sheen.

Colour Fading Description:
Starting from deep pink it opens to a warm mid-pink, then before fading becomes a delicate pastel pink, with slight silvery fading at the edges.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double, with 26–39 petals, and with reduced stamen accessibility, it attracts pollinators only to a limited extent.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Double (26–39‑petalled) flowers partly conceal the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited; it is primarily an ornamental variety.
Hip Comment:
Rose hip formation is expected to be limited due to the double flowers; occasionally spherical, orange-red hips 7–9 mm in diameter may appear.

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.
