HANNA™ – pink-yellow dwarf miniature rose
Awakening memories of windswept Cornish promenades, HANNA™ settles calmly into shingle, pots and small borders, its compact habit offering gentle shelter from breezes while you enjoy afternoon tea. The coral-pink and butter-yellow blooms bring a soft, refreshing brightness to verandas and patios, flowering in generous clusters over a long season with minimal effort. In a roomy 40–50 litre container, roots establish steadily, then shoots strengthen and by the third year the plant shows its full ornamental character. The good self-cleaning habit saves you time, while the dense, glossy foliage keeps your display neat and reliable. As an own-root rose it matures into a stable, long-lived garden companion, quietly regenerating after coastal weather and suiting both leisurely weekends and everyday family life.
Usage options
| Target area |
Reasoning |
| Coastal veranda container (40–50 litres) |
Compact height and spread make HANNA™ easy to manage in a generous pot, giving a long flowering season with simple watering and feeding rather than complicated pruning, ideal for relaxed coastal-style settings and the beginner. |
| Sheltered patio seating corner |
The dense, upright shrub forms a low, leafy screen that softens wind and frames outdoor chairs, reflecting the feel of a light windbreak where you can sit after collecting seashells along breezy shores, perfectly suited to the coastal-garden homeowner. |
| Front garden path edging |
Short, neat growth and cluster-flowering habit allow a precise, tidy line along drives and paths without overhang, creating a smart yet welcoming entrance with only occasional trimming needed, appreciated by the time-pressed gardener. |
| Small family garden flower bed |
Reliable repeat flowering and medium maintenance needs provide season-long colour in modest borders without specialist techniques, fitting naturally into busy households where a dependable rose is preferred over high-effort choices, reassuring for the casual enthusiast. |
| Children’s “girly” corner with pastel planting |
The coral-pink and buttery-yellow blooms mix gently with soft perennials to create a playful yet refined area that feels safe and manageable, letting children enjoy roses up close while adults keep upkeep straightforward, attractive for the family-focused buyer. |
| Balcony or roof terrace in large containers |
Own-root construction and compact stature help the plant anchor securely in pots, building a robust root system that supports regrowth after wind exposure and accidental drying, something especially valuable for urban balcony and roof-terrace owners. |
| Seasonal mixed container with grasses and herbs |
Good self-cleaning means petals drop cleanly onto gravel or compost, so HANNA™ keeps its shape among Festuca or low lavender without constant deadheading, maintaining a fresh look between visits, convenient for the low-maintenance planner. |
| Informal mini-hedge along a terrace edge |
Regular spacing creates a colourful, low partition that repeats blooms across the season with only moderate care, offering subtle privacy and structure without shading the garden, a practical solution for compact-plot and courtyard residents. |

Technical cultivar profile
| Characteristic |
Data |
| Name and registration |
Miniature dwarf rose in the PatioHit® collection; registered as POUlpah121 and marketed as Hanna™ PatioHit® POUlpah121, verified premium silver quality for vivianaROSE® ORIGINAL 2-litre own-root production. |
| Origin and breeding |
Bred in Denmark in 2021 by L. Pernille Olesen and Mogens Nyegaard Olesen for Poulsen Roser A/S; introduced after 2022 from unnamed seedling parents via Poulsen’s own distribution network. |
| Growth and structural characteristics |
Compact, upright miniature shrub reaching about 32–48 cm in height and 16–24 cm spread, with dense, medium-green slightly glossy foliage and light prickliness; naturally neat habit ideal for containers and edging. |
| Flower morphology |
Medium-sized, double, cup-shaped blooms with 26–39 petals borne in clusters; remontant, giving a reliable second flush and further repeats through the season, supported by good self-cleaning of spent flowers. |
| Colour data and phenology |
Coral-pink base with buttery-yellow striping; buds soft coral-pink with creamy-yellow veining, maturing to peach-pink with pale lemon streaks that lighten to creamy, almost whitish-yellow tones in strong sun. |
| Fragrance and aroma |
Mild, classically rosy scent that remains unobtrusive near seating areas, complementing other patio plantings without overwhelming them; primarily grown for colour effect rather than for strong perfume. |
| Hip characteristics |
Rosehip formation is uncommon; where hips develop they are small, around 6–10 mm in diameter, and generally of minor ornamental significance, so they do not distract from continued flowering displays. |
| Resistance and winter hardiness |
Rated to approximately −21 to −18 °C (RHS H7, USDA 6b, Swedish zone 3) with medium resistance to common rose diseases; benefits from regular watering and basic care to avoid stress in hot, dry spells. |
| Horticultural recommendations |
Best in full sun with free-draining soil or quality container compost; medium maintenance, occasional pest and disease checks, and regular watering in pots; recommended spacing 15–25 cm depending on use and density. |
HANNA™ offers compact, long-season colour in containers or borders, combining neat self-cleaning blooms with the resilience and longevity of an own-root miniature rose, making it a thoughtful choice for relaxed coastal and family gardens.
