ELAINE PAIGE™ – pink hybrid tea rose
If You enjoy classic roses but prefer easy gardening, ELAINE PAIGE™ offers elegant, mid-pink, exhibition-quality blooms on a bushy plant that fits perfectly into Irish family gardens. Its reliable, remontant flowering gives a long display from summer onwards, while the strong, fruity fragrance drifts across the garden on still evenings. Planted as a single feature or in a small group, it keeps a compact, upright habit that suits front beds and smaller borders. The own-root plant settles in steadily, forming a long-lived bush that copes well with our damp climate and the humidity-related fungal pressure typical of Ireland. In the first year it quietly builds roots, in the second it fleshes out its framework, and by the third season You can expect full ornamental value with larger flushes of flowers. Ideal for average clay-based soils once drainage is improved, it will also thrive in a roomy container, bringing a touch of romantic charm and reliable colour close to Your door for many years.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden feature rose
The bushy, upright habit and large, exhibition-style blooms make this rose an ideal focal point beside a path, gate or front window, giving classic impact without needing complicated shaping or advanced pruning, perfect for the beginner
Small flowerbed groups (1–5 plants)
Planting a tight group creates a neat, low-maintenance flowerbed where the remontant flowering gives waves of soft pink colour, while own-root growth builds a stable, long-lived clump that recovers well from weather and light pruning, suiting the busy
Cutting patch near the house
The long, straight stems and large cup-shaped flowers are excellent for cutting, so a short row close to the back door can supply vases of fragrant blooms through the season, rewarding even simple care routines for the enthusiastic homeowner
Patio container, balcony or terrace
In a 40–50 litre container with good drainage, this variety forms a dense, glossy-leaved shrub whose continuous flowering and strong scent bring a classic rose experience to small spaces, ideal for urban garden owners seeking something practical
Mixed cottage-style border
Its soft mid-pink flowers blend beautifully with lavender, rosemary or salvia, creating a relaxed, cottage look; the bushy structure slots easily among perennials while own-root resilience supports a long-lived planting, reassuring the traditional gardener
Sunny, clay-based family garden bed
Once basic drainage is improved, this rose handles typical Irish clay, building a robust root system that steadies the plant against wind and wet and helps it cope with our persistent damp air and related disease pressure, encouraging the cautious novice
Lightly shaded side garden
Suitable for partial shade, it still forms a well-flowered, glossy shrub along side paths or between houses where sunlight is limited, giving colour and fragrance in spots that often look bare, which is especially helpful for small-plot owners
Long-term specimen by a seating area
Planted near a bench or patio, its strong fruity fragrance and repeat flowering create a long-lasting, evening-scented focal point; own-root growth supports a durable, regenerating shrub that matures gracefully, suiting patient, enjoyment-focused families
Decorating ideas
COTTAGE TRIO – Combine ELAINE PAIGE™ with rosemary and common sage in a loose, curved bed for a soft pink and silvery-green cottage feel beside the front door – for lovers of traditional rural style
ELEGANT ENTRANCE – Flank a front path with two matching shrubs spaced evenly, underplanted with low catmint or thyme, to frame the doorway with colour and scent – for homeowners who value neat, simple structure
ROMANTIC PATIO POT – Plant one rose in a 40–50 litre terracotta container and edge the soil with trailing lobelia or bacopa for a romantic, balcony-friendly display – for busy urban gardeners with limited space
PINK CUTTING CORNER – Set a short row along a sunny fence, adding upright salvia and airy grasses to give movement while providing plenty of stems for vases – for beginners who enjoy bringing garden flowers indoors
SOFT BORDER RIBBON – Place a gentle curve of 3–5 plants in front of taller shrubs, weaving in lavender or bupleurum for light texture and subtle contrast – for families seeking a calm, low-fuss background to everyday life
Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as POUlht008, marketed as Elaine Paige™ Hybrid tea POULSEN®; ARS exhibition name Elaine Paige™; part of the Hybrid tea POULSEN® collection.
Origin and breeding
Bred by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen (Poulsen Roser A/S, Denmark) from unnamed parents; breeding completed 2006, registered 2012, introduced after 2012 as a garden and cut-flower variety.
Awards and recognitions
Highly decorated: Coup de Cœur – Children’s Favourite & Most Fragrant (Bagatelle, Paris 2013); Certificate of Merit (Belfast 2013, Orléans 2013); Silver Medal (Geneva 2013); Gold Medal (Monza 2013); 2nd Prize (Baden bei Wien 2014).
Growth and structure
Medium-height, bushy hybrid tea rose, typically 100–140 cm tall with a 60–80 cm spread; dense, glossy dark green foliage, moderately thorny canes and an upright habit suited to beds, borders and feature planting.
Flower morphology
Large, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals, borne mostly solitary on strong stems; repeat flowering (remontant) with particularly abundant second flush, suitable for cutting and formal garden displays.
Colour and phenology
Vibrant mid-pink flowers; buds deeper pinkish-red, opening to clear mid-pink then fading gently to light, powder-tinted pink edges; colour retention moderate, creating a soft pastel effect as blooms mature on the plant.
Fragrance and aroma
Fresh, fruity fragrance of strong intensity, notable for its reach in calm weather; appreciated in international trials and well suited for planting near seating areas, doors or windows where scent can be enjoyed.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is generally limited due to the double-flowered form; where present, hips are small, ellipsoidal, about 8–12 mm in diameter, and ripen to an attractive orange-red, adding a discreet late-season accent.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); disease resistance moderate to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, benefitting from simple preventive care in humid, high-pressure seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun to light partial shade; plant 40–75 cm apart depending on use; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control; perform particularly well in improved clay soils or large containers with good drainage.
ELAINE PAIGE™ offers fragrant, repeat-flowering pink blooms on a compact, long-lived own-root shrub that adapts well to Irish gardens, giving You reliable colour and a resilient planting partner if You decide it suits Your space.
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”, but makes the essence of pharmaROSA® own-root production tangible: how the plant is built, what the root system is like and how the shoots renew themselves. The footage was therefore taken at different times, showing plants at different stages of development, so mixed leaf coverage or differing growth stages may appear in the videos. This is not a “sample” of the batch delivered, but an illustration of how the technology works. The current condition of the rose available to order — typical of the given period and similar to what you can expect to receive in the parcel — is shown at the top of the product page.
