More information
Denise Grey is a shrub rose with established popularity in Australia and central Europe. The first bloom is very heavy, with the bush carrying large clusters of 20–50 flowers, and the variety continues to flower until the first frosts. Blooms open bright, pure pink and fade with age, especially in sun, so plantings read as a mix of pink and white; in cooler climates the colour persists longer. Foliage is dark and glossy, and the plant spreads more in width than height. New shoots start upright and then arch, so in hot climates the variety functions as a groundcover rose about 1.5 metres tall and roughly twice as wide.
Officially registered as Denise Grey, it is more commonly offered for sale under the name Make Up. Because of this naming confusion, the variety has not been widely recognized. Leaves emerge matt light green, later becoming dark green. Unscented, soft pink semi-double flowers appear all summer in branching clusters. Although the foliage remains presentable for extended periods, it is susceptible to black spot; it is resistant to powdery mildew.
Multi-flowered cluster inflorescences appear from early summer until frost. Semi-double, medium-sized flowers open pink and then become pinkish-cream; petals are lightly corrugated. Branched, upright bushes reach about 1.0–1.2 m in height, with shiny foliage and sustained abundant flowering; suitable for hedges, solitary plantings, and mixed groups. Awarded two gold medals in Germany and France (1989, 1992).
