Pas de Deux Courtyard® climbing rose – POUlhult
If You would like a graceful climbing rose that quietly gets on with the job, Pas de Deux Courtyard® is an easy-care choice for Irish gardens. Its semi-double, pale pink and creamy-yellow blooms appear in generous flushes, giving romantic colour from early summer and then returning with an abundant second flowering. The dense, glossy foliage makes a neat green backdrop, ideal for covering walls, fences or a modest pergola without demanding constant pruning. Own‑root plants settle in steadily, building long-lived, reliable structure that copes well with our changeable summers and frequent rain by handling heavy, moisture-retentive soils when planting includes basic drainage care. With good disease resistance and only moderate cleaning of spent blooms required, You gain a tidy, climbing feature with minimal maintenance. Its moderate height fits the scale of most family plots, while partial shade tolerance allows flexible placement around the house, including narrow side passages. Given a little water and feeding in the first seasons, it will reward You year after year with airy, pastel clusters that feel at home in both urban fronts and rural cottage-style settings, maturing from root-building in year one, to stronger shoots in year two, and full ornamental display by year three, making it an easy long-term companion.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front-garden wall or fence near the entrance
Ideal where You want a welcoming, romantic climber that stays proportionate to a typical Irish front garden, with pastel clusters that do not overwhelm the space and a balanced, uniform habit that remains easy to manage for beginners
Small pergola or arch in a family back garden
Its 180–270 cm height gives gentle overhead cover without creating excessive shade, and the repeat-flowering habit means soft pink blooms returning through summer, adding charm to seating areas while requiring only light seasonal tying for homeowners
Climbing accent on a patio pillar or trellis in partial shade
Performs reliably with only a few hours of sun, so it suits bright but not fully south-facing spots, keeping foliage dense and glossy while still flowering, offering an elegant vertical highlight that stays manageable for busy-gardeners
Large container on balcony or terrace (minimum 40–50 litres)
In a generous pot with good compost and a sturdy support, this climber forms a long-lived, own-root framework that can be moved if needed, giving colour even in paved spaces and rewarding simple watering and feeding routines for urban-residents
Cottage-style mixed border with perennials and grasses
The translucent pink and creamy-yellow flowers blend softly with herbaceous planting, while the upright climbing habit adds height at the back without taking much ground space, suiting informal, romantic schemes enjoyed by cottage-gardeners
Screening an unsightly shed or oil tank
Dense foliage and steady growth help cloak functional structures over a few seasons; once tied in, the rose forms a leafy screen with repeated flushes of blossom, reducing the need for complex pruning for time-poor-owners
Coastal or exposed suburban gardens with wind and rain
Robust framework and good disease resistance help it cope with blustery, damp conditions common near the Irish coast, provided planting takes account of heavier soils by improving drainage at the base, giving confidence to Atlantic-gardeners
Small groups of 3 along a low wire or railing
Planting several at the recommended spacing creates a continuous ribbon of pastel colour, with remontant flowering and moderate self-cleaning limiting deadheading tasks, giving a polished look along paths or drives for low-maintenance-seekers
Decorating ideas
Cottage Archway – Train Pas de Deux Courtyard® over a narrow metal arch with underplanting of lavender and chives for soft scent and movement – perfect for cottage-gardeners wanting romance without fussy care
Pastel Patio Screen – Grow in a 50-litre container against a trellis with pots of rosemary and thyme at the base for structure and fragrance – ideal for balcony and terrace owners seeking gentle privacy
Front Door Frame – Guide stems along discreet wires around a doorway, pairing with hydrangeas and evergreen shrubs to create a welcoming entrance – suited to homeowners who like neat, long-lived features
Soft Border Backdrop – Use as a vertical accent behind perennials and ornamental grasses, letting its pale blooms lighten darker foliage – great for hobby gardeners designing relaxed, informal beds
Clean Cottage Fence – Space plants along a low timber fence with underplanting of hardy geraniums for groundcover that hides bare bases – ideal for busy families wanting a tidy, low-effort boundary
Technical cultivar profile
Characteristic
Data
Name and registration
Trade name Pas de Deux Courtyard®, registered as POUlhult. Large-flowered climbing rose for garden and park use, exhibition category climber. Part of the Courtyard® collection; ARS exhibition name Pas de Deux.
Origin and breeding
Bred by Mogens Nyegaard Olesen for Poulsen Roser A/S in Denmark before 2003. Parentage is not recorded. Introduced after 2003, with PBR registration filed in 2003 and distributed internationally by Poulsen Roser A/S.
Awards and recognitions
Le Roeulx Rose Competition merit certificate in 1999 plus seven additional medals from international rose trials, confirming dependable garden performance and ornamental value across varied European growing conditions.
Growth and structure
Climbing rose reaching about 180–270 cm in height with a 100–160 cm spread. Forms a balanced, uniform framework with moderately thorny stems and dense, mid-green, glossy foliage suitable for walls, pergolas and fences.
Flower morphology
Semi-double, flat flowers with 13–25 petals, carried in clusters of medium-sized blooms around 1.5–2.75 inches. Remontant habit with a particularly abundant second flush, giving extended seasonal display on trained shoots.
Colour and phenology
Pale pink-yellow blend: buds creamy yellow with a pink veil, opening to pastel pink outer petals and a soft yellow centre. Blooms lighten toward powder pink then near-white; strong sun speeds fading but colour retention is generally excellent.
Fragrance and aroma
Delicate, airy fragrance with restrained strength, noticeable at close range but not overpowering near seating areas. Semi-double form offers moderate, not high, appeal to pollinators because stamens are partially covered by petals.
Rose hip characteristics
Hip set is usually low due to semi-double blooms but occasional small, globular orange-red hips 9–12 mm may appear, adding a subtle autumn accent without significantly affecting flowering performance through the season.
Resistance and hardiness
Good overall disease resistance with recorded resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust. Hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (USDA zone 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3) with moderate heat tolerance if watered in long dry spells.
Horticultural recommendations
Plant 140–150 cm apart for hedging or groups, 250 cm as a specimen. Suitable for walls, pergolas and large containers over 40–50 litres. Prefers well-drained soil, regular watering in drought and light tying-in rather than heavy pruning.
Pas de Deux Courtyard® offers repeat pastel flowering, good disease resistance and a manageable climbing habit, while its own-root vigour builds a long-lived framework, making it a reassuring, easy-care choice if You would like a reliable rose to plant now.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PAS DE DEUX – pale pink-yellow climbing rose - Olesen
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Pollinator Attraction:
Semi-double flowers are moderately attractive to pollinators because the partially filled bloom form reduces stamen accessibility, limiting pollinators' ability to reach nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its semi-double flowers mean its pollinator-friendliness is limited; it attracts few pollinators.
Rose Hip Notes:
Hip formation is expected to be limited because of the double flowers; occasionally spherical orange-red hips 9–12 mm in diameter may form.

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.
