More information
Sophy's Rose bears flowers distinct among English roses. Petals are small at the center and increase in size toward the edges, becoming quite large at the margins. This creates a flat bloom reminiscent of a zinnia. The color is light crimson. A free-flowering rose forming a low, dense shrub, suitable for flowerbeds and the front of borders. Light tea-rose fragrance. Disease resistant and repeat-flowering.
Sophy's Rose remains low and compact even in hot climates. Blooms are pale crimson-purple, with a lighter underside to the petals. This is most evident in the center, where the petals curl to form a button. Each flower is very densely petalled, and the petal edges curl and develop pointed tips (dahlia-like). Flowers appear in small clusters, usually 3–5, set against dark green, disease-resistant foliage. The shrub is dense, strongly branched, with few thorns. Blooms repeatedly and abundantly.
