Emilia Hit® PatioHit® POUlpah083 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Compact own-root Emilia Hit® offers a dense, glossy-foliaged plant ideal for patio container programmes and high-density nursery beds where uniform 1.5–2 L crops are essential for predictable turn-round. Its dwarf stature (around 35–45 cm) supports tight spacing and efficient bench use, while the remontant flowering habit provides the long, impulse-driven colour window needed for retail-focused production. The bright mid-pink, clustered double blooms create an instant, concentrated display in small spaces, well suited to UK garden centre and nursery channels. Own-root material supports long-term longevity in stock beds and collection plantings, giving stable identity and reduced replacement pressure. With moderate disease tolerance and H7 winter hardiness, it adapts reliably to cooler, exposed regions where winter and wind tolerance is a key consideration. As a pharmaROSA® NEONATAL tray-grown cutting, Emilia Hit® fits cleanly into nursery container systems, following a natural development arc from roots in year one through structural shoots in year two to full ornamental value from year three. This predictability helps align propagation capacity with wholesale-scale patio and edging rose demand.

| Awards and recognition |
not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, dense bush form reaching approximately 35–45 cm in both height and spread, with moderately thorny shoots and dark green, glossy, well-furnished foliage providing strong visual cover at low stature. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, cupped, double blooms with around 26–39 petals, borne in clusters of three to five per stem; remontant habit provides an abundant second flush for extended seasonal display in production. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Bright mid-pink flowers with raspberry-red tones, ARS MP and RHS 62D outer, 62C inner; buds open deep pink, then lighten through uniform mid-pink to a soft pink, developing a delicate silvery sheen in strong sunlight. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, pleasant, rose-like fragrance of restrained strength; double flowers with 26–39 petals provide limited pollen and nectar access, so are not specifically targeted as pollinator plants in professional schemes. |
| Hip characteristics |
Occasionally sets small, spherical hips around 7–9 mm across, coloured orange-red to RHS 40A; hips are incidental, not a primary ornamental or production feature in typical container or edging uses. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate overall disease resistance, resistant to black spot with moderate susceptibility to powdery mildew and rust; hardy to around -21 to -18 °C, rated RHS H7 and Swedish zone 3, suitable for USDA zone 6b climates. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Recommended for flower beds, edging and container uses, especially compact patio products; moderate maintenance with occasional plant protection; performs well as a compact, dense shrub in 1.5–2 L containers. |
Emilia Hit® PatioHit® POUlpah083 combines compact dwarf habit, remontant mid-pink flowering and reliable H7 hardiness in an own-root form that builds stable, regenerating stands, making it a sound option to discuss capacity and scheduling for your next crop.
