Splendid™ Courtyard® POUlcy043 – pharmaROSA® NEONATAL own-root propagation material
Courtyard production with Splendid™ offers growers a compact, bush-trained climber on an own-root platform, well suited to systematic nursery propagation, container programmes, and wholesale stock-building for dedicated collection and thematic rose gardens. The floribunda–shrub character supports reliable flowerbed ranges where a medium-maintenance, moderately disease-tolerant profile fits standard retail finished products and project supply requiring predictable, homogeneous stands. Robust hardiness to H7/USDA 5b allows nationwide scheduling, even for exposed Scottish and northern English schemes with reliable winter and wind tolerance built in, while own-root longevity and regenerating growth give a practical three-stage development arc from root establishment in year one through structural shoot build in year two to full ornamental value by year three. With 2–3 L standard-container routing, Splendid™ integrates smoothly into scalable capacity planning and professional propagation workflows.

Technical cultivar profile
| Parameter |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Floribunda–shrub bed rose marketed as Splendid™ Courtyard® POUlcy043, registered as POUlcy043; part of the Courtyard® collection with verified cultivar authenticity and premium bronze internal quality rating. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in Denmark in 2021 by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen, Poulsen Roser A/S, with Poulsen Roser A/S also acting as initial distributor; precise parentage and introduction dates not provided. |
| Awards and recognition |
not provided |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Climbing, rambling growth habit with bush-trained, compact presentation; height typically 170–230 cm and spread 80–120 cm; moderately dense, slightly glossy dark green foliage and moderate prickliness support a robust framework. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, cup-shaped, double blooms with 26–39 petals are carried in clusters; the cultivar is remontant with a notably abundant second flush, supporting extended display in garden and container use where repeat flowering matters. |
| Colour data and phenology |
A vivid, uniform red with cool crimson undertone; buds deep rich red, opening to bright red, then mellowing to raspberry–scarlet; moderate colour retention with harmonious full bloom; ARS OR, RHS 34A outer and 33A inner petals described. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Delicately rose scented with very weak, barely perceptible fragrance; the focus is visual impact rather than olfactory effect, and the very double form limits pollen access, so pollinator attraction is described as only weak. |
| Hip characteristics |
Hip set is expected to be limited due to the double bloom form; where present, hips are spherical, orange-red and 6–10 mm in diameter, so fruiting is minor and does not strongly influence ornamental or production considerations. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Moderate resistance reported to powdery mildew, black spot and rust; hardiness rated to -26–-23 °C with RHS H7, Swedish zone 4 and USDA 5b, giving robust winter survival for many UK and comparable climates; heat–drought data not provided. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Supplied as bush-trained, compact own-root cutting for onward production; standard container route advised with 2–3 L target pots; medium maintenance with occasional plant protection recommended; primary uses beyond this are not provided. |
Splendid™ Courtyard® POUlcy043 combines hardy, colour-stable, remontant flowering with a compact climbing habit on a long-lived own-root base, offering predictable, regenerative stands for container and project ranges where it is worth aligning capacity and schedules together.
