More information
Luis Lens was a breeder who produced many musk hybrids from Rosa multiflora var. adenochaeta. These are mostly shrubs up to 2 metres tall, but Pink Spray is a dwarf, creeping rose. Among comparable varieties, only White Spray—a seedling from the same parents—is noted. Pink Spray’s flowers open dark pink, then fade to pale pink, with a bright white eye and a cluster of golden stamens in the centre. The petals are curved. The variety features abundant flowering: during bloom the plant is densely covered with small clusters of flowers, obscuring leaves and branches. Small red hips appear after flowering. The rose is suitable for rockeries and for draping low retaining walls.
This rose, like its white counterpart White Spray, retains bright green foliage until late autumn and, in exceptionally warm years, may overwinter with leaves. In early summer it blooms profusely with single (non-double) pink flowers with a white centre. The scent is faint. Removing spent inflorescences (deadheading) can maintain continuous flowering; otherwise the rose blooms in several waves. Shoots reach up to 1.5 m long. With support they reach about 1.5 m in height; without support they trail and cover the ground, in which case the height does not exceed 0.5 m.
