PAOLINA™ – pale pink nostalgia rose – Olesen & Olesen
Nostalgic blooms, romantic colouring and a bushy habit make Paolina™ a charming choice for classic British front gardens and relaxed cottage-style borders. Its medium-sized, cupped flowers appear in clusters, giving generous flushes of pale seashell pink through the season with a softly sweet fragrance for everyday enjoyment. On its own roots it settles in steadily, forming a well-anchored shrub that copes reliably even where soil is heavier and benefits from improved drainage or raised beds. Over time the plant builds up a balanced framework of shoots and roots, so you can enjoy a long-lived, established rose that feels naturally at home around your house, from small specimen plantings to informal hedging in a family garden.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal shrub
Placed by a path or entrance, Paolina™ forms a rounded, bushy shrub with soft pale pink clusters that read clearly from the pavement, giving an immediate sense of cottage charm and welcome without needing intricate design – ideal for the style-conscious homeowner
Small bed in a family garden
In a typical front or back garden bed, the 110–150 cm height and spread fill space reliably, while the remontant flowering provides repeated colour in summer; combining with simple perennials keeps upkeep manageable for the time-pressed gardener
Cottage-style mixed border
The nostalgic, cupped flowers and powder-pink tones blend easily with blues, whites and silvers, working well with cottage stalwarts such as catmint, lamb’s ear or hardy geraniums to create a relaxed, romantic look that suits the traditionalist buyer
Low, informal hedge
At around a metre wide, planted at 100 cm intervals, Paolina™ can form a soft, flowering screen along drives or paths; its own-root habit allows a stable, regenerating line of shrubs that can be shaped more or less strictly to suit the practical householder
Specimen rose near seating
The medium-strength rosy fragrance and repeat-flowering make this a good choice beside a bench or patio, where regular blooms and scent can be appreciated at close quarters without complex pruning, appealing to the relaxation-focused user
Large decorative container
In a generously sized planter of at least 40–50 litres, Paolina™ works as a nostalgic feature on terraces or by the front door; the own-root form adapts gradually to pot conditions and rewards steady watering and feeding for the balcony or courtyard owner
Rose and shrub combination planting
Planted as part of a loose group with other shrubs, its rounded habit and soft colouring help to knit different plants together; over three seasons it moves from establishing roots to building shoots and then reaching full ornamental impact for the patient beginner
Raised bed on heavier soils
Where clay or compacted ground is an issue, Paolina™ is well suited to raised beds or improved planting pockets, where better drainage supports steady establishment and a long-lived framework, giving confidence to the cautious first-time planter
Styling ideas
Cottage-edge – Line a low front border with Paolina™ and interplant with catmint and lamb’s ear for a soft, traditional look – ideal for those refreshing a small front garden
Pastel-duo – Pair Paolina™ with blue or lilac clematis on a discreet support for layered colour and romance – suited to admirers of gentle, coordinated schemes
Patio-feature – Grow a single plant in a 50-litre terracotta pot with trailing thyme at the rim – perfect for compact terraces seeking one strong focal point
Relaxed-hedge – Create an informal, low hedge along a path, underplanting with hardy geraniums to mask bare stems – good for families wanting soft boundaries
Shaded-backdrop – Place Paolina™ in front of hostas and dark foliage shrubs to let its pale pink blooms stand out – appealing to gardeners keen on subtle contrast

Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PAOLINA™ – pale pink nostalgia rose - Olesen & Olesen
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Closed Bud:
Very pale, almost white outer petals, with a silky pale pink inner colour.
Newly Opened Flower:
The outer petals are a soft pastel pink, with a slightly more intense rosy tint towards the centre.
Full Bloom:
Homogeneous, soft pink petals with a barely noticeable fading at the edges.
Before Fading:
The petal colour fades to powder pink, blending to almost white at the edges.
Colour Fading Description:
During opening the pale pink tone moderately fades: at full bloom it remains a soft pink, before senescence it fades to a powder pink, and at the margins it becomes almost white.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its strongly double (many‑petalled) flower form and inaccessible stamens, which result in reduced pollen availability, make it unattractive to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Due to its double flowers and lack of pollen, its pollinator friendliness is limited; it 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.
