Rosa grand. 'Queen Elizabeth' (pink)

This elegant shrub rose features an upright, bushy habit with a height reaching up to 6-10 feet and a width of 2-4 feet. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, it thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained, fertile soil to support its robust growth. Known for its striking, tall form and stately appearance, it produces abundant clusters of large, moderately fragrant, double pink blooms from late spring through fall, adding continuous color to the landscape. The foliage turns a soft yellow-green in the fall, providing subtle seasonal interest, while deer typically avoid this species, making it an excellent choice for gardens in areas with wildlife pressure. This rose has limited fruit development, often producing small, inconspicuous hips. Perfect for borders or as a standalone specimen, this plant attracts pollinators while remaining resistant to many common diseases when properly cared for.
