CAPRICIA™ – deep red nostalgia rose – Olesen
This romantic shrub rose brings a sense of storybook cosiness to typical family gardens, combining very strong, enduring fragrance with nostalgic rosette blooms in deep, velvety colour. As an own-root, container-grown plant it settles quickly, building a durable framework that suits small borders and cottage-style beds even where soils are heavier and need careful drainage. The dense, glossy foliage gives reliable summer structure, while repeat flushes of XL, cluster-borne flowers provide generous flowering for cut stems and evening perfume around seating areas. Over the first few seasons it develops steadily into a bushy, upright shrub, rewarding light, flexible pruning and simple care routines that fit easily around busy families.

Target area
Reasoning
Main focal rose near terrace or seating
The combination of very strong, long-lasting scent and XL, rosette-form blooms makes Capricia™ ideal where you sit, dine or enjoy afternoon tea, creating a romantic, storybook focal point for fragrance lovers and traditional-style homeowners.
Cottage-style mixed border in a family garden
Bushy, upright growth to around 110–160 cm with dense foliage gives reliable vertical structure in modest borders, threading deep-red clusters through perennials and herbs for an English countryside cottage effect that appeals to cottage-garden enthusiasts.
Small hedge or repeat line along a path
Recommended hedge spacing of about 55 cm allows plants to knit into a scented, visually solid line, while own-root vigour supports long-lived hedging with simple annual shaping, suiting planners of informal yet ordered garden layouts.
Specimen in a large container (40–50 L+)
In a 40–50 litre or larger pot, Capricia™ forms a tidy, upright shrub whose repeat flowering and glossy leaves give season-long impact, with manageable pruning and watering for balcony, patio or small-plot gardeners.
Feature rose in heavier or chalky garden soils
Grows well when given improved topsoil and raised- or open-planting, coping with typical British garden conditions where heavier clay or chalky ground is common, particularly attractive to owners of challenging-soil properties.
Romantic, scented rose for cut flowers
Long-stemmed, cluster-flowering shoots with very double, velvety blooms and intense, lasting perfume lend themselves to cutting, bringing classic deep-red romance indoors for those who enjoy arranging home-grown bouquets.
Long-term feature shrub in a settled family garden
As an own-root rose it rebuilds from the base after hard pruning or weather damage, supporting a long lifespan and stable ornamental value for gardeners who prefer durable, once-planted feature shrubs.
Low-input, traditional rose bed with seasonal interest
Moderate disease resistance, repeat flowering and a clear, upright habit allow simple winter or early-spring pruning and light summer deadheading, fitting the needs of time-pressed but style-conscious garden beginners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-hedge romance – Plant Capricia™ in a loose line with lavender and nepeta to edge a path, creating a scented, storybook walk – ideal for families who like a traditional cottage feel.
Teacup terrace focus – Grow one or two plants in 50 L containers with thyme and small grasses for a fragrant terrace centrepiece – suited to urban homeowners with limited planting space.
Kitchen-garden charm – Mix among herbs, runner beans and old-fashioned annuals for a “girly” potager look – perfect for those who want productive beds with romantic touches.
Deep-red feature bed – Group three shrubs in a triangle with white foxgloves and pale pink roses to highlight its velvety colour – for enthusiasts building a nostalgic rose collection.
Storybook front garden – Combine with box edging, alliums and climbers on an arbour to frame the front path – recommended for households aiming for classic, welcoming kerb appeal.

Awards and recognition
Holder of the Tollcross Fragrance Prize at the Glasgow International Rose Trials 2016, recognising its notable scent performance among contemporary shrub and garden roses.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 110–160 cm high and 70–110 cm across; dense, glossy green foliage (RHS 147A); moderately thorny stems; carries flowers on cluster-forming shoots.
Flower morphology
Very double, rosette-style blooms with more than 40 petals; extra-large flower size, borne in clusters; strongly remontant, providing a generous second flowering and further repeat flushes.
Colour data and phenology
Deep, velvety crimson-red with burgundy tones; RHS 53A outer, 60A inner; buds dark burgundy-black; colour darkens rather than fading, often ending in near-blackish red on the oldest petals.
Fragrance and aroma
Very strong, long-lasting fragrance of classic rose character; intensifies around seating areas and paths; suitable for fragrant gardens and cut use where perfume is a primary selection criterion.
Hip characteristics
Hip set is minimal due to the densely double bloom form; occasional tiny hips may form, usually around 0–3 mm in diameter and of negligible ornamental or wildlife-gardening significance.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, Swedish zone 3, USDA 6b); moderate resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; benefits from basic good practice in wet or humid seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in sunny positions with improved soil; suited to flowerbeds, specimen planting, park and scented gardens; medium maintenance, occasional plant protection desirable in disease-prone conditions.
Capricia™ offers velvety deep-red, strongly scented blooms on a bushy, repeat-flowering shrub whose own-root form supports long-term resilience and simple care, making it a thoughtful choice for classically styled family 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.
