**Collection Only**

  • A repeat-blooming, medium-pink shrub rose designed for garden borders, containers, and as a focal specimen. Combines reliable performance with vibrant colour and approachable fragrance.

Growth and Size

  • Habit: Upright shrub with a balanced, open structure.
  • Size: Typically 3–4 ft tall and 2–3 ft wide (about 0.9–1.2 m by 0.6–0.9 m).
  • Canes: Moderately strong, with glossy dark-green foliage.

Bloom and Fragrance

  • Bloom colour: Rich to medium pink, often with lighter petal edges.
  • Bloom form: Semi-double to double flowers, about 2–3 inches (5–7.5 cm) across.
  • Flowering: Repeat bloomer from late spring through fall, with periodic flushes in prime season.
  • Fragrance: Light to moderate rosy scent, pleasant but not overpowering.

Foliage and Health

  • Foliage: Glossy, dark-green leaves that provide good contrast to pink blossoms.
  • Disease resistance: Generally disease-tolerant with resistance to common rose maladies typical of modern shrub roses; regular airflow and proper spacing help minimize issues like black spot and powdery mildew.
  • Pests: Occasional aphids or mites may appear; monitor and treat early if needed.

Light, Soil, and Water

  • Light: Full sun (ideally 6+ hours of direct sun daily) for best bloom and vigour.
  • Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH (about 6.0–6.8).
  • Water: Deep, regular watering; keep soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Fertilization: Feed in spring with a balanced rose fertilizer, and again after the first major flush of blooms.

Hardiness and Care

  • Hardiness: Suitable for USDA zones 5–9 with winter protection in the lower end of the range.
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring. Remove dead or diseased wood, trim to encourage an open structure, and shape to encourage outward-facing growth. For a neater hedge or container setting, prune to maintain desired height and width.
  • Maintenance: Regular deadheading encourages continued flowering. Monitor for pests and diseases and address promptly.

Uses and Landscaping

  • Ideal for: Garden borders, mass plantings, mixed hedges, and large containers. Works well as a specimen focal plant or as part of a rose border.
  • Design notes: Pair with lighter pinks, whites, or silvery foliage for contrast. Provide good air circulation to maximize health and bloom.

Availability and Packaging

  • Availability: Typically offered in spring–early summer; may also be available in Autumn in some regions.

Quick care tips

  • Plant in full sun with well-drained soil.
  • Water at the base to keep foliage dry and reduce disease risk.
  • Mulch 2–3 inches to conserve moisture and insulate roots.
  • Feed in spring and again after the first bloom flush.
  • Prune annually to maintain shape and vigour.
