Fragrant and classically elegant, ELAINE PAIGE™ is a hybrid tea rose for those who want a reliable, easy-care focal point without complicated rose know‑how. Large, beautifully formed mid‑pink blooms open on a bushy, upright plant with healthy, glossy foliage, creating a refined presence in a typical family front garden or mixed border. Bred for strong, far‑reaching perfume, it offers the scented impact of a traditional cutting rose while remaining practical for busy gardeners in changeable British weather and blustery, rain‑laden conditions. As an own‑root plant it settles in steadily, building a long‑lived, well‑anchored bush that responds well to flexible pruning and simple seasonal care. Planted in good soil with reasonable drainage, it suits small groups or a single specimen, whether in the ground or a generous 40–50 litre container, bringing long‑lasting structure, colour and dependable flowering year after year.
Elaine Paige™ rose with a strong, fresh fruity fragrance.
Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal shrub
The upright, bushy habit and dense glossy foliage make an immediate statement near the front door or path, while repeat flowering provides colour from early summer onwards with only moderate deadheading – ideal for beginners.
Cutting patch or rose bed
Large, long‑stemmed, cup-shaped blooms in a vibrant mid‑pink and a strong, fruity scent make this variety excellent for cutting and display indoors, rewarding simple feeding and watering with regular vases of high-quality flowers for the homeowner.
Small mixed border in family gardens
Its compact 100–140 cm height and 60–80 cm spread sit neatly among perennials and herbs, giving structure without overpowering the space and suiting those who want reliable flowers without complex border planning as a hobbyist.
Container near seating area
Planted in a 40–50 litre pot with quality compost, the upright form and intense fragrance bring classic rose character to patios or small terraces, while own‑root resilience supports longer-term container life for the urban-gardener.
Specimen rose in cottage-style planting
Set as a single specimen among lavender, rosemary or sage, its pastel pink blooms fade gently and harmonise with traditional cottage companions, giving a romantic, low-fuss centrepiece that suits the aesthetics-focused gardener.
Small group planting (1–3 plants)
Planting two or three shrubs at the recommended spacing creates a fuller display of repeating blooms while remaining easy to manage, offering a tidy, coherent effect for those wanting impact in limited space as a beginner.
Partially shaded borders
Its suitability for partial shade means it can perform well where fences, neighbouring houses or mature shrubs limit sun, supporting colour and scent in more challenging corners for time-pressed owners.
Weather-exposed family plots
The robust bush structure, good heat tolerance and reliable anchoring in breezier sites help it cope with typical British wind and rain patterns, giving steady ornamental value with moderate care to the busy family.
Styling ideas
Cottage Mix Specimen – Combine ELAINE PAIGE™ with lavender, rosemary and sage for a fragrant, traditional look – ideal for cottage-style front-garden enthusiasts.
Elegant Entry Pair – Plant two roses flanking a path or doorway for symmetrical structure and repeat pink blooms – suited to homeowners seeking a tidy, classic welcome.
Patio Scent Corner – Use one shrub in a large 40–50 litre container near seating to enjoy its strong perfume on summer evenings – perfect for urban terrace and balcony gardeners.
Soft-Pink Border – Mix with pastel perennials and grasses to showcase its colour fade from vivid to powder pink – for design-conscious gardeners wanting gentle, romantic tones.
Family Cutting Row – Line a short border with evenly spaced plants to provide reliable stems for the vase – appealing to families who enjoy bringing garden flowers indoors.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose from the Hybrid tea POULSEN® collection; registered as POUlht008, marketed as Elaine Paige™ Hybrid tea POULSEN® POUlht008, approved exhibition name Elaine Paige™.
Origin and breeding
Bred in Denmark in 2006 by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen at Poulsen Roser A/S; unnamed seedling × unnamed seedling; registered 2012 and introduced after 2012.
Awards and recognition
Highly decorated exhibition hybrid tea: major medals and certificates from Bagatelle Paris, Belfast, Geneva, Monza, Orléans and Baden bei Wien between 2013 and 2014 for beauty and fragrance.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright shrub reaching about 100–140 cm high and 60–80 cm wide, with dense, dark green, glossy foliage and moderate prickles; forms a well-filled, visually substantial bush in normal garden conditions.
Flower morphology
Large, double, solitary hybrid tea blooms with 26–39 petals, cup-shaped and well formed; remontant with particularly abundant second flush, giving extended flowering when regularly deadheaded.
Colour data and phenology
Clear mid-pink flowers; buds deeper pinkish-red, opening to vibrant mid-pink, then fading to pale, powder-tinted pink at the edges; colour retention moderate, creating a soft pastel effect as blooms age.
Fragrance and aroma
Strong, far-reaching scent with a fresh, fruity rose character; notable enough for show recognition and ideal where perfume is a priority, whether beside seating, paths or as cut blooms indoors.
Hip characteristics
Hip set generally limited due to the double-flowered form; when present, hips are small ellipsoids about 8–12 mm across, coloured orange-red and of minor ornamental significance.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); disease resistance moderate for black spot, mildew and rust, requiring occasional monitoring and routine garden care.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to beds, borders, cutting gardens and large containers; prefers fertile, well-drained soil, regular watering in dry spells, and light annual pruning to maintain shape and encourage flowering.
ELAINE PAIGE™ offers strongly fragrant, classically formed pink blooms on a bushy, long-lived own-root plant that suits both borders and large containers, making it a sound choice to consider for a easy-care focal rose.
Competition and Show Awards:
Bagatelle (Paris) – Coup de Cœur – Children's Favourite & Most Fragrant Rose (2013); Belfast – Certificate of Merit (2013); Geneva – Silver Medal (2013); Monza – Gold Medal (2013); Orléans – Certificate of Merit (2013); Baden bei Wien – 2nd Prize (2014);
Pollinator Attraction:
Its strongly double flower form (double) and the reduced accessibility of the stamens make it poorly attractive to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
The double flowers partially conceal the stamens, so it attracts pollinators only to a limited extent and is primarily an ornamental variety.

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.
