The naturally rounded, bushy habit keeps the plant looking neat with minimal shaping, making it a reliable choice for everyday beds and foundation plantings. If you want consistent pink color with a straightforward routine, this rose is built for dependable performance.

Distinctive Features

This shrub rose produces abundant, fully double blooms in bright, medium pink that hold their color well through the season. The flowers appear in generous clusters and repeat continuously, creating a steady show rather than a single peak. Deep green foliage provides clean contrast and supports a dense, rounded shape that reads as polished from a distance. Mature size is typically about 3 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun is best for maximum bloom and the healthiest, densest growth.
• Soil: Plant in fertile, well-drained soil and amend with organic matter for best performance.
• Water: Water deeply during establishment, then water when the top few inches of soil are dry while avoiding soggy conditions.
• USDA Zones: Zones 5 to 11.
• Spacing: Space about 3 to 4 feet apart to support airflow and allow the shrub to fill out evenly.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a sunny bed where bold pink bloom can carry the color story from spring through fall.
• Mass Planting: Plant in groups for a strong, uniform block of pink that reads well from the street.
• Foundation Beds: Adds long-season color and a tidy, rounded form along the home without constant shaping.
• Mixed Borders: Pairs easily with perennials and shrubs, adding repeat bloom and dependable mid-layer structure.
• Low Hedges: Use in a row to create a flowering edge that stays full and colorful for months.

Low Maintenance Care

• Pruning: Prune in late winter to early spring to shape the shrub and encourage vigorous new flowering growth.
• Deadheading: Deadheading is optional, but removing spent clusters can improve tidiness and encourage quicker repeat bloom.
• Watering: Water at the base to keep foliage drier and reduce disease pressure.
• Feeding: Fertilize in spring and again after the first heavy bloom flush to support continued flowering.
• Mulching: Mulch to conserve moisture, suppress weeds, and moderate soil temperature around the roots.
