KELLEY™ – pink dwarf mini rose - Olesen & Olesen
The PatioHit® collection’s KELLEY™ mini rose brings compact elegance to small Irish gardens, balconies and patios with its bushy, dwarf habit and refined mid-pink blooms that fade softly to pale, romantic tones. In an average front garden or cottage-style border it slots neatly into beds and edging, coping well even where there is persistent moisture and humidity in the air. Its dense, glossy foliage and almost thornless stems make it easy to enjoy up close along paths, driveways and seating areas. As an own-root rose in a 2-litre pot, it arrives already well established, ready for You to plant and watch it gradually form a bushy, long-lived clump. In year one it focuses on roots, in year two on shoots, and by year three it typically shows full ornamental value. KELLEY™ thrives in containers of at least 40–50 litres, where its gentle, light-pink flowers repeat in flushes and create “everyday romance” without taking over Your space.
Kelley™ shows very double, cupped pink blooms.

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.
