Origin & Breeding History: 'Poulcas031' originated from a controlled crossing between two unnamed seedlings, and is a selection of one seedling among these resulting plants. The cross was made in the summer of 1997. Seeds were planted in December, 1997 and germinated during the winter and early spring. In the spring on 1998 the seedlings were selected in our greenhouses in Fredensborg, Denmark. 'Poulcas031' was selected by the breeder based on its compact yet vigorous growth when propogated on own root, profusion of deep pink flowers and resistance to typical rose diseases.

Tests & Trials: Trials for 'Poulcas031' were conducted in an outdoor trial during the summer of 2012 at BioFlora Inc. in St. Thomas, Ontario. Trials included 10 plants of the candidate variety and 6 plants of the reference variety. Plants were grown from bare-rooted plants, transplanted into 13.2 litre containers in April, 2012. Observations and measurements were taken from 10 plant parts of each variety on July 17, 2012. All colour determinations were made using the 2007 Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Colour Chart.
