Rosa The Faun 'Pouloma'
Thank you to the team (for order preparation and shipping), the rose bush I received seems healthy. Planted near a pathway border, I'm now patiently waiting for it to take root...(or not?).

Description
The Faun rose, also marketed under the name Bossa-Nova, is a delightful Danish creation that combines the charm of old roses with the qualities of modern groundcover and landscape roses. It is a bush that is wider than it is tall, well-branched, with small, flat and very double roses in shades of soft pink that bloom throughout the summer, emitting a light floral fragrance. In a large flowerbed, a small romantic border, or in a planter on the patio, it pairs perfectly with perennial geraniums or catmints.
The Faun rose ('Pouloma') is a modern bush rose classified as a 'miniature', also known as 'dwarf' or 'patio' roses, and can also be used as a groundcover. It is the result of cross-breeding between the famous landscape rose 'The Fairy' and the beautiful old climbing rose 'New Dawn'. It is of small stature, forming a bush of approximately 50 cm (20in) to 80 cm (32in) in height and 1 m (3ft) to 1.50 m (5ft) in width within a few years (if not pruned). Its thorny stems bear abundant foliage, composed of leaves divided into small leaflets of a shiny dark green. It is reputed to be very disease-resistant, although it can be susceptible to blackspot disease after its first wave of flowering if the weather is humid. This 'The Faun' rose blooms generously from June to October, provided it is not lacking in water or nutrients. It is covered in delightful 5 cm (2in) diameter flowers in shades of pink, pale on the outside and brighter in the centre, with a very slight fragrance. They are borne in clusters of 3 to 5 blooms. Remove faded flowers as they appear to encourage the development of new blooms throughout the season.
The Faun rose performs well in both open ground and deep pots and containers. It is perfect for edging a low border and for brightening up a patio. Pair your rose with other patio plants, as these rather pale roses will go well with white for a romantic atmosphere, or with bright colours for a more vibrant mix. Consider, for example, the indispensable Six Hills Giant catmints and Rozanne geraniums, or add colour with a fuchsia pink shrubby sage, Lychnis coronaria or forget-me-nots.
'The Faun' is a Danish creation from Poulsen dating back to 1991. This rose and clematis breeder is known for producing healthy, fragrant, and of very high quality creations. It is for this reason that Poulsen, founded in 1878, has become the official supplier to the Danish Royal Court.
Created by Poulsen in 1991

Planting and care
The Dwarf Rose The Faun prefers sunny locations. Excessive limestone can cause chlorosis. This rose is known to be disease resistant, but if you notice any spotted or affected leaves, remove them without delay. This rose is perfectly hardy when planted in the ground, but in a pot it will be more fragile, so protect it from the harshness of winter.
To plant your rose, work the soil by crumbling it and place an amendment at the bottom of the planting hole, such as bonemeal. Water generously after planting to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly for a few weeks to encourage root growth. In a pot, use a mixture of garden soil and potting soil in a ratio of a third to two thirds. Don't forget the layer of clay pellets or gravel for drainage. Under these conditions, ensure regular watering throughout the year.
Regularly remove faded flowers during the summer to stimulate the development of new flower buds.
Roses are often spotted or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These spots are not harmful to the rose, it is a natural phenomenon.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
