KATRINA HIT® – orange dwarf mini rose
Step outside for a few minutes, even between showers, and KATRINA HIT® greets you with cheerful bursts of warm orange on a compact, well-behaved shrub that slips easily into a cottage border or tiny Dublin front garden while coping calmly with rainy spells and soft Atlantic light. Its naturally compact habit and tidy outline mean less clipping and more quiet enjoyment, while the good resistance to common rose diseases keeps foliage fresh-looking with very little effort. In a 2‑litre own-root form it settles in reliably, building a strong, long-lived framework so you can look forward to steady flowering from late spring onwards with self-cleaning blooms that drop their petals neatly. Plant once, then simply keep the soil lightly mulched and reasonably well-drained, and over the first three seasons you will see roots establish, then shoots fill out, then a pleasing, full display that feels delightfully effortless.

Usage options
Target area
Reasoning
Small Irish cottage front garden
The neat, compact habit keeps within bounds beside paths, low walls and gatepiers, giving warm orange colour that reads beautifully against stone or painted render without overwhelming the space. Suits those who value easy charm, especially beginners.
Terrace or balcony containers (40–50 litres)
In a generous pot KATRINA HIT® forms a dense, upright shrub with plenty of medium-sized, cupped blooms, while its own-root stamina means the plant copes better with repotting and recovers well after minor neglect. Ideal for urban gardeners who are often busy.
Low edging along paths or drives
Regular repeat flowering and good self-cleaning keep the line looking smart with minimal deadheading, and the compact spread makes spacing simple, creating a crisp but soft-edged orange border. Well suited to homeowners who prefer straightforward maintenance.
Mixed cottage-style flower bed
The vivid mid-orange flowers, fading to softer peach-cream, weave nicely among perennials such as lady’s mantle and alpine catchfly, adding season-long pops of colour without demanding complex care. Appeals to nature-leaning gardeners seeking gentle colour.
Dublin terraced-house front step
Its modest height and upright form frame a doorway or bay window without blocking light, and its good resilience in humid, showery conditions means healthy foliage even in tight, built-up streets. A good choice for city dwellers who appreciate reliable beauty.
Family garden children’s border
The short, sturdy framework and abundant, cupped blooms create a “girly”, storybook rose look at child height, with own-root toughness offering a forgiving buffer against the odd knocked stem or misdirected football. Designed for families who favour relaxed gardening.
Low-maintenance rose collection bed
With strong resistance to black spot, powdery mildew and rust, this variety keeps its yellowish-green foliage clean, supporting a long-lived planting that needs only light annual pruning and feeding to perform. Best for enthusiasts who prize dependable plant health.
Clay soil borders with improved drainage
Once planted into clay that has been opened up with grit and compost, the own-root system develops steadily, giving a stable, long-lived shrub that flowers on reliably despite frequent rain and soft Atlantic breezes. Ideal for householders managing heavier soils.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Ribbon Edge – run a low line of KATRINA HIT® along a front path, underplanting with Irish moss to soften the paving and highlight the compact orange domes – for homeowners who like a storybook welcome.
Terrace Jewel Pot – plant a single shrub in a 50‑litre terracotta container with trailing thyme for scent and texture, letting the repeat blooms act as a bright focal point – for balcony and patio gardeners with limited space.
Soft Peach Border – mix KATRINA HIT® with lady’s mantle and pale grasses so the fading peach-cream tones blend into a gentle, romantic scheme – for those who prefer muted cottage hues.
Front-Step Pairing – flank a doorway with two large containers, echoing the orange roses with magenta alpine catchfly nearby for a cheerful, informal contrast – for city dwellers wanting easy but polished kerb appeal.
Children’s Fairy Strip – edge a small play-lawn with these compact roses and low, non-spiky companions in front, creating a friendly, colourful border – for families encouraging children to notice plants up close.
Technical cultivar profile
Aspect
Data
Name and registration
Miniature rose POUlpah123, marketed as KATRINA HIT® PatioHit®, dwarf orange mini rose; registered under EU CPVR 2022/2169 for garden and container use.
Origin and breeding
Bred in Denmark in 2021 by L. Pernille and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen for Poulsen Roser A/S from seedlings of unknown parentage; introduced commercially after 2022.
Growth and structural characteristics
Compact, upright, densely thorny shrub, 45–55 cm tall with a 32–38 cm spread and medium foliage density; yellowish-green leaves provide a fresh, light backdrop to the flowers.
Flower morphology
Medium-sized, cupped, double flowers (26–39 petals) in clusters, remontant with an abundant second flush; self-cleaning spent blooms help maintain a tidy overall appearance.
Colour data and phenology
Vivid mid-orange with salmon tones (RHS 28A outer, 33A inner), opening to uniform orange, then softening to peach-tinged orange cream before drop; colour retention medium under normal garden light.
Fragrance and aroma
Very weak, barely noticeable perfume with only a subtle fragrance in warm, still conditions; primarily valued as an ornamental rose rather than for scent-driven planting schemes.
Hip characteristics
Occasional small spherical hips, 8–10 mm across, orange-red (RHS 40A), forming mainly when spent flowers are not removed; not a prominent ornamental feature in most plantings.
Resistance and winter hardiness
High resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; winter hardy to about −21 to −18 °C (H7, USDA 6b), tolerating normal Irish winters with minimal protection in the ground.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to containers, terraces, beds and edging; plant 35–55 cm apart depending on effect, into well-drained soil improved on clay, then feed and prune lightly each year for best repeat bloom.
KATRINA HIT® offers compact, long-lasting orange colour with self-cleaning blooms and strong disease resistance, and as an own-root rose it builds a durable, reliable shrub; a thoughtful choice if you want easy structure and charm over many years.
Detailed product attributes
Product Identification Data
Product Name:
KATRINA HIT® – orange dwarf mini rose - Olesen & Olesen
Product Type:
antoniaROSE® ORIGINAL - rós i bpota 2 lítear ar a fhréamhacha féin
Foliage:
The variety has medium-density foliage; the surface character of the leaves cannot be clearly classified and their colour is a yellowish‑green shade (RHS 144A).
Flower Colour:
The base colour of the petals is a vivid mid‑orange, deepened by a subtle salmon tone.
Closed Bud:
The bud's outer surface is deep orange, the inner surface lighter with a salmon sheen.
Freshly Opened Flower:
The edges of the outer petals are orange‑red, while the inner petals are a lighter, warm orange shade.
Full Bloom:
The petals are uniformly vivid orange, with a subtle shading towards their base.
Pre-Fading Flower:
The colour gently fades, softening to a peach‑tinged orange cream.
Colour Fading Description:
As it opens the colour unifies into a vivid orange, then before the bloom fades it softens to an orange‑cream subtly blended with peach.
Pollinator Attraction:
Very double (40+ petals) flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent because the dense flower form and reduced accessibility of the stamens limit their appeal.
Pollinator-Friendly Rating:
Its double flowers attract pollinators only to a limited extent, so its pollinator-friendliness is low and it is primarily an ornamental cultivar.

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.
