SHIOLI – pink nostalgic rose - Olesen
Pastel petals, romantic rosettes and a compact bushy habit make Shioli an inviting choice for British family gardens where you want charm without hard work. This own-root shrub settles reliably, forming a stable, long-lived plant that copes well with typical garden soil when you provide reasonable drainage on heavier clay and occasional feeding. Its compact size suits smaller borders and front gardens, while remontant, plentiful repeat flowering keeps beds looking finished from early summer onwards with minimal intervention beyond light seasonal pruning. Medium-maintenance needs mean you check for problems rather than constantly firefight them, so it remains a reassuringly reliable option for hobby gardeners. In the first year it concentrates on roots, the second on structure and shoots, and by the third season you enjoy the full ornamental impact of its soft pink, fully double blooms, harmonising easily with cottage-style companions and beginner-friendly planting schemes.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Front garden focal shrub
The nostalgic rosette blooms and soft pastel pink tones create an immediate sense of welcome beside a path or gate, without overwhelming a modest space thanks to its compact, bushy habit and steady, medium maintenance needs – ideal for the style-conscious homeowner.
Small cottage-style border
Shioli’s very double, romantic flowers and creamy pink fading to near-white echo traditional cottage borders, fitting neatly among perennials while its remontant second flush keeps colour going after early summer peaks – perfect for the relaxed, charm-seeking beginner.
Low informal hedge
Planted at hedge spacing, the dense foliage and slightly arching shoots knit into a soft, green line that carries repeating blooms through the season, giving gentle structure around lawns or drives without formal clipping – reassuring for the time-pressed gardener.
Feature group of 3–5 plants
In small groups, the bushy habit and repeat flowering combine into a rounded, continuous display, allowing you to fill a bed confidently with a single, coherent variety that looks considered yet easy-going – a sound choice for layout-conscious planners.
Near patios and seating areas
The moderate height and tidy spread keep the plant at a comfortable scale by terraces or seating, while low thorniness and only very light fragrance make it visually generous but unobtrusive in close quarters – well suited to family-focused users.
Mixed shrub and perennial planting
Its stable own-root growth and medium disease resistance offer a durable framework among shrubs and long-flowering perennials, with the pastel pink blending easily with blues, creams and soft foliage, supporting long-term, low-fuss schemes for design-aware enthusiasts.
Clay or chalky suburban gardens
In typical British plots with heavier or limy soils, Shioli’s robust shrub nature, H7 hardiness and medium care needs make it a practical choice when you give basic drainage and periodic feeding to support long-term health – reassuring for cautious starters.
Raised beds and improved borders
Where you manage heavier ground with raised beds or improved borders, Shioli’s reliable repeat flowering and compact structure quickly create a finished look once established, matching the aim of a tidy, flowering garden that is easy to keep for busy urban owners.
Styling ideas
Cottage-duo – Pair Shioli with blue Ceanothus and coral bells for a soft, romantic front border with pastel pink, blue and burgundy foliage accents – for lovers of traditional cottage charm.
Pastel-ribbon – Use a loose line of shrubs along a path, underplanting with airy perennials to highlight its compact, bushy habit – for homeowners wanting gentle structure without formality.
Porch-welcome – Place one or three shrubs near the front door with gravel or brick edging so the repeat blooms frame your entrance – for visitors who appreciate a tidy but inviting threshold.
Soft-screen – Create a low, informal hedge mixed with other small shrubs to provide a flowering screen around seating areas – for families needing privacy with minimal upkeep.
Romantic-island – Build a small island bed in lawn, centring a group of Shioli with low, silvery or variegated companions to set off its pastel rosettes – for beginners seeking a simple, self-contained feature.
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Shrub nostalgia rose from the Romantic rose collection; trade name Shioli – pink nostalgic rose – Olesen; verified cultivar authenticity for reliable identification in private gardens.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Mogens Nyegaard Olesen for Poulsen Roser A/S from unnamed seedlings; registered 2021 and introduced after 2021, continuing the modern romantic shrub rose breeding line.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact shrub 75–100 cm high and 60–85 cm wide, with bushy, slightly arching growth and dense, dark green, slightly glossy foliage; moderately thorny shoots offer a balanced, manageable structure.
Flower morphology
Large, very double rosette flowers with over 40 petals, mostly solitary on stems; remontant, producing a strong second flush that sustains an attractive display across the main flowering season.
Colour data and phenology
Soft pastel pink with a subtle cream undertone; buds cream-white with pink tips, flowers opening powder pink then fading through pale pink to near white, giving layered colour over the life of each bloom.
Fragrance and aroma
Delicate floral fragrance of very weak strength; the scent is barely noticeable in normal garden use, making it suitable for seating areas where strong perfumes might be unwelcome or overpowering.
Hip characteristics
Occasional spherical hips only, 8–12 mm across, orange-red when formed; heavy doubling of the flowers usually prevents regular fruiting, so hips are a minor ornamental feature in most seasons.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Medium overall disease resistance with good resistance to powdery mildew and black spot, moderate rust sensitivity; hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) in typical garden conditions.
Horticultural recommendations
Medium maintenance rose needing occasional pest and disease checks; suits planting distances of 50–90 cm depending on use, at around 2.8–3.2 plants/m² for massing in beds, borders or low hedges.
SHIOLI offers compact, romantic pastel blooms with reliable repeat flowering on a durable own-root shrub that matures into a long-lived feature, making it a thoughtful choice for easy-going 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.
