ROYAL COPENHAGEN™ – light pink tea-hybrid rose
If You dream of a classic, porcelain-pink rose that simply settles in and gets on with the job in an Irish family garden, ROYAL COPENHAGEN™ is a beautifully reliable choice. Its high-centred, exhibition-style blooms open on an upright, compact bush that fits easily into front beds, narrow borders and cottage-style plantings, while coping well with our humid air and frequent rain. Over time this own-root rose builds a long-lived, stable shrub that recovers well from hard pruning and keeps its shape without complicated training. The strong, sweet, fruity fragrance is a daily pleasure near paths and doorways, and the very good colour retention means the pastel pink petals keep their refined look even in sunshine. Its steady, remontant flowering gives You elegant cut blooms from summer into autumn, while a year-on-year development arc – first strong roots, then fuller shoots, then complete display – rewards patient, low-fuss gardeners.

Use cases
Target area
Reason
Front garden focal point by the entrance
The upright, compact structure fits neatly beside paths or steps, giving formal, porcelain-like light-pink blooms at eye level and a strong, sweet, fruity scent to welcome visitors, ideal for those wanting impact without complex rose training for beginners.
Small group planting in a family border
Planting 3–5 shrubs at recommended spacing creates a calm, uniform drift of pastel colour that looks ordered rather than busy, perfect where You want a neat, easy-to-read border that children and adults can enjoy without intensive upkeep for homeowners.
Cutting corner for indoor vases
The high-centred, exhibition-style flowers on long, straight stems are made for cutting, so even one or two bushes can keep supplying elegant, strongly scented blooms for the house all summer, suiting those who love bringing their garden indoors for hosts.
Solitary specimen in a cottage-style bed
Placed alone among perennials, its dense dark green foliage and refined, fading pastel flowers add structure and romance, giving a dependable “anchor” plant that looks good between flushes and supports informal, rural Irish cottage-garden schemes for cottagers.
Medium container on a sheltered patio
In a minimum 40–50 litre container with good drainage, this upright hybrid tea gives height and scented blooms close to seating, letting You enjoy rose-garden luxury even in a paved courtyard or terrace where ground planting is limited for apartment-dwellers.
Formal mixed border with perennials
The stable, upright bush and very good colour retention make it easy to combine with verbena, lupins or low evergreens, giving long-season structure and pastel accents that stay crisp rather than messy, ideal where You want a composed, long-term design for planners.
Long-term planting in family front gardens
As an own-root rose it gradually forms its permanent framework on site, coping well with Ireland’s damp, wind-prone climate and ensuring a shrub that matures gracefully over many years without frequent replacement, appealing to those planning for the future for families.
Neat edging shrub in sunny clay beds
Set along the front of sunny beds, it creates a clean, low flowering line; with sensible soil preparation for drainage it handles heavier Irish soils well, giving structured edges that stay manageable in size and easy to prune each winter for busy-gardeners.
Decorating ideas
Doorstep Elegance – Pair a single bush by your front steps with lavender or rosemary for evergreen structure and fragrance layering – ideal for urban homeowners wanting a smart, low-fuss welcome.
Cottage Pastels – Combine ROYAL COPENHAGEN™ with pink lupins and airy verbena in a loose drift for a soft, romantic cottage feel – perfect for rural gardens and fans of traditional borders.
Patio Perfume – Grow one plant in a 40–50 litre terracotta pot, underplant with trailing thyme, and place by seating for evening scent – great for small patios and balcony-style spaces.
Calm Border Rhythm – Repeat single shrubs at measured intervals through a mixed bed to create a steady rhythm of pastel colour and structure – suited to gardeners seeking order without formality.
Cut-Flower Nook – Dedicate a sunny corner to two or three plants with simple companions like white gaura, giving a reliable source of long-stemmed, scented blooms – ideal for those who love arranging flowers at home.

Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Hybrid tea rose, registered as POUlht001, marketed as ROYAL COPENHAGEN™ Hybrid Tea POULSEN®; ARS exhibition name Royal Copenhagen; 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 an unknown seedling × ‘Tivoli’; bred 1994, registered 2004, introduced after 2004 as a premium garden and cut rose.
Awards and recognitions
Monza Gold Medal 2002 at the Monza International Rose Competition, recognising its high ornamental value, flower form and overall garden performance in independent trial conditions.
Growth and structure
Upright hybrid tea shrub reaching about 75–105 cm in height and 50–70 cm in spread, with dense, glossy dark green foliage and moderate thorns; forms a well-filled, vertical bush suitable for beds and containers.
Flower morphology
Large, double, high-centred, pointed-bud flowers with 26–39 petals, classic exhibition hybrid tea form, usually borne singly on stems; remontant with a generous second flush, providing repeated display through the season.
Colour and phenology
Uniform pastel light pink with a subtle lavender tint; buds pale and silky, opening to soft powder-pink, then fading towards whitish at petal fall; colour holds very well, with cooler weather keeping tones slightly deeper.
Fragrance and aroma
Pronounced, strong fragrance with a sweet, fruity character typical of classic scented hybrid teas; best appreciated near seating, paths or doors where repeated passing allows enjoyment of the perfume.
Rose hip characteristics
Occasional spherical hips 10–14 mm in diameter, red (RHS 40A) when ripe; generally a minor ornamental feature as the variety is mainly grown for its repeat-flowering, highly double blooms.
Resistance and hardiness
Hardy to approximately −26 to −23 °C (RHS H7, USDA 5b, Swedish zone 4); medium resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, benefitting from standard rose care and occasional plant protection in humid seasons.
Horticultural recommendations
Best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil; water regularly in dry spells. Recommend 50–60 cm spacing in borders, 90 cm as a specimen; choose containers of at least 40–50 litres for long-term potted use.
ROYAL COPENHAGEN™ offers classic, strongly scented pastel blooms on an upright, long-lived shrub, ideal for cutting and structured borders, while its own-root growth gives stable, regenerating performance; consider it if You want dependable elegance with modest care.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
ROYAL COPENHAGEN™ – light pink tea-hybrid rose - Olesen & Olesen
Product Type:
pharmaROSA® ORIGINAL - 2-litre own-root potted rose
Flower Colour:
Uniform pastel light pink with a subtle lavender tint.
Closed Bud:
Pale, silky pink with a delicate silvery sheen on the outer petals.
Freshly Opened Flower:
Pure light pink, with the base of the inner petals slightly deeper in tone.
Full Bloom:
Soft powder-pink with a lavender tint, gradually fading towards the edges.
Pre-Fading Flower:
Silky, almost whitish pink with a delicate silvery edge.
Colour Fading Description:
As the flower opens the pale pink gradually fades, appearing a soft powder-pink at full bloom and almost whitish before the petals fall; in cool weather the shade remains more intense.
Pollinator Attraction:
Its highly double (fully double) flowers and lack of pollen mean it attracts pollinators poorly, as the double flower form and inaccessible stamens reduce insects’ access to nectar and pollen.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers largely conceal the stamens, so it is of limited appeal to pollinators and is primarily valued for its ornamental qualities.

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.
