THE FAIRY TALE ROSE™ – deep pink floribunda bedding rose
Step outside and meet a true garden fairytale: THE FAIRY TALE ROSE™ wraps your front path or cottage border in cheerful deep-pink colour, flowering again and again even when summers feel short and skies unsettled by soft Atlantic showers and breeze. Its bushy, compact habit is wonderfully manageable in small Irish gardens, while the 2‑litre own‑root plant quietly builds a lasting framework below ground for years of reliable bloom above. Large, cupped flowers with wavy petals open a rich, romantic pink that softens to mauve‑pink, all cleaned away neatly by the rose itself for an effortlessly tidy look. Lightly thorned stems make everyday care and deadheading simple, and with a medium, sweet fragrance you can enjoy that gentle sense of contentment on any wet Tuesday evening wander round the garden.

Reasoning
Front garden focal bush beside the path
The bushy, upright habit and 35–50 cm height create a neat, eye-catching presence without overwhelming a small Dublin front garden. Large, cupped blooms read clearly from the pavement, and self-cleaning flowers keep things smart with minimal work for the busy urban gardener.
Romantic “girly” cottage-garden border
Uniform deep-pink clusters, softening to mauve-pink, blend beautifully with cottage classics and grasses, giving that storybook look all summer. Repeating flushes help keep colour going even in our shorter seasons, suiting the Irish cottage gardener.
Low bedding strip beneath windows
Its 45–65 cm spread makes it ideal for a low, flowing bedding strip that stays within bounds. Moderate disease resistance and own-root resilience mean less worry about gaps over time, reassuring the low-maintenance homeowner.
Container near the front door (40–50 L+)
In a generous 40–50 litre pot, the compact framework and glossy foliage give a lush, welcoming feel at the door. Own-root plants re-shoot strongly if top growth is weather-damaged, supporting a long-lived display for the container rose enthusiast.
Small flowering hedge along a path or drive
Recommended spacings of 35–40 cm allow a low, continuous hedge of deep-pink cups. The development from settling roots to fuller shoots and then peak display over three seasons rewards patience, suiting the forward-planning gardener.
Easy-care colour in mixed clay-soil beds
On improved, well-drained clay, the dense foliage and regular flowering provide reliable structure and colour with only occasional care. Own-root durability supports a long lifespan and stable shape, appealing to the time-pressed family.
Lightly scented seating-area companion
Medium, sweet fragrance adds just enough scent by a bench or patio without overpowering small spaces. Moderate pollinator interest brings some gentle movement and life around you, delighting the fragrance-loving visitor.
Rain-resilient front-garden planting
Good petal self-cleaning helps the plant shed weather-spotted blooms after frequent rain, so the bush quickly refreshes into new colour despite changeable skies and cool summers, giving confidence to the Irish novice gardener.
Styling ideas
Cottage-Romance Border – weave with Stipa tenuissima ‘Pony Tails’ and white campanula for a soft, storybook edge – ideal for the cottage-style dreamer.
Front-Step Welcome – plant one in a 50 L terracotta pot with trailing ivy geraniums – perfect for city dwellers wanting instant doorway charm.
Pink-Trimmed Path – line both sides of a narrow path at hedge spacing for a low, feminine ribbon of pink – good for families seeking tidy structure.
Soft-Glow Bed – mix with Lonicera nitida ‘Maigrün’ and dwarf lavender to contrast glossy foliage and pink cups – suited to low-fuss weekend gardeners.
Compact Scent Corner – group three near a bench with evergreen St John’s wort for year-round green and summer perfume – lovely for evening fragrance lovers.
Technical cultivar profile
Parameter
Data
Name and registration
Floribunda bedding rose, registered as POUlcas065, marketed as THE FAIRY TALE ROSE™ Castle®; bush rose, floribunda exhibition class; premium silver merit rating for garden performance and ornamental effect.
Origin and breeding
Bred in Denmark in 2018 by L. Pernille and Mogens N. Olesen for Poulsen Roser A/S, from unnamed seedlings; registered 2021 and introduced after 2021 as a modern, compact floribunda for decorative use.
Growth and structural characteristics
Bushy, upright habit, 35–50 cm tall and 45–65 cm wide, with dense, glossy yellow‑green foliage and sparse prickles; good natural self-cleaning habit keeps the plant decorative with limited deadheading in season.
Flower morphology
Large XL double, cup-shaped blooms over 10 cm across, with 26–39 petals and gently wavy edges; flowers are mostly solitary on stems and repeat strongly, with the second flush also notably abundant in normal seasons.
Colour data and phenology
Deep, uniform pink flowers with crimson tones; buds dark crimson-pink; colour code RHS 61C; blooms soften to pale mauve-pink as they age, with very good colour retention and no recorded strong fading in full sun.
Fragrance and aroma
Distinct, pleasant sweet fragrance of medium strength, noticeable at close range without being overpowering; suitable for small gardens and seating areas where a gentle, classic rose scent is appreciated.
Hip characteristics
Produces a moderate number of tiny hips, 0–5 mm diameter, with some ornamental interest later in the season, though plants are generally grown for the abundance and size of their decorative flowers.
Resistance and winter hardiness
Hardy to approximately -21 to -18 °C (USDA 6b, RHS H7, Swedish zone 3); disease tolerance moderate for black spot, powdery mildew and rust, benefiting from good air flow and regular basic care in humid climates.
Horticultural recommendations
Suited to beds, edging, containers and urban planting; medium maintenance, sometimes needs plant protection; spacing 35–60 cm depending on hedge or specimen use; prefers well-drained soil and regular mulching.
THE FAIRY TALE ROSE™ offers large repeating deep-pink blooms, compact easy-care growth and long-lived own-root reliability, making it a thoughtful choice for Irish gardeners seeking graceful colour with modest effort.

Colour Fading Description:
As the blooms open, the deep pink gradually softens to a paler mauve-pink; there is no data on fading under strong sunlight.
Pollinator Attraction:
Double, open flowers moderately attract bees because the double form can obscure the stamens and reduce pollen accessibility, which limits their attractiveness.

It attracts pollinators moderately, so it is primarily ornamental and at best partially pollinator-friendly.

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.
