More information

This variety remains short even in hot climates. The plant forms a low, tidy, compact bush, often planted at the front edge of borders. Flowers are pale porcelain pink with an apricot tinge at the center, fading to a very pale pink. The outer petals are paler than the warmer pink center. Buds start deeply calyx-shaped, later opening into rosettes. Blooms appear singly or in clusters of up to 5; petals drop cleanly. Foliage is dark, with bronze young growth; the bush is very thorny. Repeat-flowering is quick, and the plant is rarely without blooms. Winter-hardy and disease-resistant.

One of the low-growing English roses. The bush is fairly spreading, with large, matte green leaves. In summer, single buds develop on long, slender shoots. Flowers are densely double, cup-shaped, often flattening. On fully open blooms, which bow under their own weight, soft pink petals surround an apricot-yellow center. The flowers have a myrrh fragrance.

A low, branching rose. Used in small gardens and at the front of large borders, or as a bedding rose. The flowers are medium-sized, apricot pink, very pale pink toward the edges. Neatly cup-shaped at first, later opening into rosette-shaped blooms. Hardy and free-flowering.
