Loraine™ Renaissance® POUlren046 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL rooted cutting
Premium own-root pharmaROSA® NEONATAL material of Loraine™ Renaissance® POUlren046 offers a compact shrub habit with dense, glossy foliage and very double nostalgic blooms in a stable orange-pink tone, suited to premium 5–7 L container routes where flower quality drives value. This cultivar is positioned as an exclusive finished product for retail and reseller channels, with its main proposition in flower quality, form and very strong, long-lasting fragrance. Own-root production supports predictable, renewable cropping and low replacement in nursery propagation beds and collection plantings, with root establishment in year one, framework and shoot build-up in year two, and full ornamental performance from year three onwards. In UK conditions it is relevant for schemes where moderate heat tolerance and profuse flowering are required, for example when continuity of high-grade nostalgic blooms matters in regions with variable summers and wind exposure. Bush-trained, 3–5 cane propagation material slots efficiently into premium container workflows and thematic rose garden collections where professional diversity and assortment breadth are important for the full market. Although disease management inputs are required, the own-root format supports long-term sustainability in stock stands, helping nurseries and wholesalers plan capacity and assortment with confidence.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Renaissance® collection shrub, Romantic nostalgia rose group; registered as POUlren046, marketed as Loraine™ Renaissance® POUlren046, exhibition category shrub rose, with cultivar authenticity verified for professional use. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in Denmark by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen (Poulsen Roser A/S), introduced and registered in 2021 with EU plant variety protection, initially distributed in the United Kingdom by Trevor White Roses. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact shrub 60–85 cm high with 50–75 cm spread, dense glossy foliage coloured RHS 147A, moderately thorny shoots; supplied bush-trained with 3–5 strong framework canes to support premium-container production systems. |
| Flower morphology |
Large, very double, cup-shaped blooms with 40+ petals, produced in clusters; remontant flowering pattern with generous second flush, delivering continuous decorative value for premium containers, beds, terraces and display plantings. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Dominant clear orange-pink tone (ARS MP; RHS 48D outer, 43B inner), opening coral-peach with warm orange bases, then lightening towards peach–powder pink; colour retention moderate, with main ornamental effect maintained through flowering. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Fragrance character not specified, but documented as a very strong, long-lasting scented rose; fully double flowers conceal stamens, primarily ornamental rather than pollinator-focused, suitable for fragrance-led retail and project concepts. |
| Hip characteristics |
Very double flowers limit hip set; rose hips are expected to be few and very small, typically below 5 mm diameter, so fruiting adds little visual impact and does not significantly affect maintenance or seedling management. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
RHS H7, hardy to approximately −21 to −18 °C (USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3); disease resistance rated very susceptible to powdery mildew, black spot and rust, requiring high maintenance and regular plant protection in professional systems. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Primary uses: flowerbed, specimen, cut flower, park, terrace and container, with a premium container route recommended; heat tolerance moderate, flowering well in warmth with irrigation during drought; pollinator value low due to fully double blooms. |
Loraine™ Renaissance® POUlren046 offers compact, flower-rich, fragrance-led performance in a premium container shrub, and as own-root material it supports predictable, regenerative long-term stands, making it a considered option to discuss for upcoming capacity and scheduling.
