ALBERTE HIT® – PatioHit® mini rose propagation material
Compact own-root ALBERTE HIT® propagation supports dense, tray-based programming for nursery and integrator networks seeking reliable patio and balcony lines with predictable mid-red colour stability and a uniform 25–35 cm habit suited to 1.5–2 L containers; its bushy, well-foliated structure delivers an attractive instant effect for impulse-driven terrace assortments while H7 hardiness and Swedish zone 4 performance provide winter tolerance adequate for nationwide UK distribution, even where exposure and low temperatures demand robust starting material, and own-root continuity enables a natural development arc from strong roots in year one through consolidated shoots in year two to full ornamental value in year three, giving growers a predictable, repeatable base for compact, flower-rich patio products and small-space retail collections aligned with container-focused, impulse-led point-of-sale concepts.

Miniature rose, commercial type dwarf mini rose in the PatioHit® collection; registered cultivar name POUlpah114, marketed as Alberte Hit® PatioHit® POUlpah114 for ornamental patio and terrace use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in Denmark in 2021 by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen, Poulsen Roser A/S; introduced and registered in 2024, with Poulsen Roser A/S as the initial distributor in the European market. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, bushy habit reaching 25–35 cm in height and spread, with dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness; forms a compact, rounded bush suitable for container and small-space ornamental plantings. |
| Flower morphology |
Very double, cup-shaped, medium-sized flowers (approximately 1.5–2.75 inches) borne in clusters, with more than 40 petals; remontant, producing a plentiful second flush that supports prolonged decorative value in container or bed use. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Uniform medium-toned red flowers with a slightly velvety effect; ARS code MR, RHS 46A outer and 46B inner; colour fades only slightly, retaining a clear red tone from bud through full bloom to the end of flowering. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Delicate, fruity fragrance with mild intensity; primarily an ornamental variety, with very full blooms that limit pollinator access and therefore are chosen mainly for visual impact rather than scent-driven or ecological planting schemes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasional small spherical red hips, approximately 7–9 mm in diameter, forming after flowering; hips are present but not a dominant ornamental feature, and are generally secondary to the floral display in production planning. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated H7 with Swedish zone 4 and USDA 5b performance, tolerating approximately -26 to -23 °C; moderate disease resistance to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, with moderate heat and drought tolerance requiring regular container irrigation. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for containers, terraces, balconies, flower beds and borders; medium maintenance with occasional pest and disease control; ideal as a compact, dense bush in 1.5–2 L pots following a compact container – patio product pathway. |
