PATRAS™ – red bedding floribunda rose – Olesen & Olesen
If You dream of a compact, floriferous rose that simply fits into everyday Irish garden life, PATRAS™ is a reliable choice for easy-care beds and neat front edges. Its bushy, low habit makes it perfect for small spaces, while the vivid, uniform red blooms create an instant focus in front gardens and around paths. This rose repeats generously from early summer, so You can enjoy wave after wave of colour without complicated pruning or feeding routines. The 2-litre, own-root plant settles steadily even in heavier soils, coping well where good drainage helps manage our wetter climate and changeable seasons. Over time it forms a dense, glossy green cushion that looks tidy even between flushes, providing long-lasting structure in mixed borders. In its first year it concentrates on roots, the second on stronger shoots, and by the third year it reaches its full garden impact, giving You a durable, low-fuss planting partner.

Technical cultivar profile
Property
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda shrub rose from the Palace® collection, registered as POUlpal103, traded as Patras™ Palace®. Bedding floribunda type suitable for ornamental beds and edging in private gardens.
Origin and breeding
Bred in Denmark in 2021 by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen at Poulsen Roser A/S, registered in 2022 and introduced after 2022 for garden and landscape use.
Growth and structure
Low, bushy, compact shrub reaching about 24–36 cm in height and 28–42 cm spread, with dense, mid-green glossy foliage and moderate prickles, forming a neat, rounded mound in beds.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, double, cup-shaped blooms with roughly 26–39 petals, borne in clusters on short stems; remontant habit with abundant first flowering and an equally generous second flush.
Colour and phenology
Vivid, pure red flowers with glossy petals; buds deep red, opening to uniform red and later softening slightly towards crimson-purple while retaining good overall colour stability in the garden.
Fragrance and aroma
Delicately sweet fragrance of mild strength, noticeable at close range without overpowering nearby seating areas, making it well suited for paths, entrances and small terrace spaces.
Rose hip characteristics
Due to the strongly double flower form, rose hip production is minimal; only occasional tiny hips up to around 6 mm in diameter are expected, with little ornamental significance.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (H7, USDA 5b, Swedish Zone 4) with medium resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust; may occasionally require basic preventive care in humid seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited for beds, edging, terrace containers and small-scale cut flowers; space at 30–55 cm depending on use, ensure reasonable drainage, and water and feed regularly for the best repeat flowering.
PATRAS™ offers compact, long-lived red bedding colour with reliable repeat flowering and neat structure; as an own-root rose it establishes steadily for years of low-effort enjoyment, so You may choose it with confidence for your garden.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
PATRAS™ – red bedding floribunda rose - Olesen & Olesen
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Full Bloom:
Dense, homogeneous red centre, with the petal edges slightly lighter.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The red colour dulls, taking on a faint crimson hue.
Colour Fading Description:
The deep red bud opens to a lighter red, appearing a uniform red at full bloom; before fading the tone softens and shifts slightly towards purple.
Pollinator Attraction:
According to descriptions, its strongly double (as opposed to simple or semi‑double) flower form renders the stamens largely inaccessible, so it is only weakly attractive to pollinators.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers can partially obscure the stamens, so its pollinator-friendliness is limited and it 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.
