More information
Paul Shirville is a modern, multipurpose rose, used for flowerbeds and cutting. It combines the form of a tea-hybrid rose with the profuse blooming of a floribunda. Blossoms are pink with a yellow flush on the reverse of the petals, producing a salmon-toned effect in low light. Intensity varies, but the pink remains warm. This variety has received awards for fragrance. Flowers occur singly or in clusters of up to 5 and bloom very freely. Suitable for cutting. In wet weather, blooms may rot. The bush is very thorny. Foliage is dark green and glossy; young shoots are bronze. Somewhat prone to black spot.
Officially the color is classified as orange-pink, but the rose presents as salmon-pink, paler on the underside. During the first flush, flowers are large and glass-shaped. They are double, borne singly or 1–3 together, with a sweet fragrance. Flowering continues through summer and autumn, though later blooms are usually smaller. Leaves are large; young growth is purple, later dark green; foliage is sometimes affected by powdery mildew. The bush is slightly spreading, vigorous, and of medium height.
