This deciduous shrub exhibits an upright, bushy habit and is prized for its strikingly fragrant, deep pink blooms with a classic rose form. It thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9, preferring full sun and well-drained, fertile soils enriched with organic matter. This fragrant beauty can reach a mature height of 4-5 feet, making it an excellent choice for garden beds, borders, or as a focal point. The glossy green foliage provides a lush backdrop, while its flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Though it does not produce ornamental fruit, it offers excellent disease resistance and moderate deer resistance. Its lack of significant fall color is compensated by its lush flowering season. Perfect for cut flower arrangements, it adds elegance to any garden with its delightful scent and vibrant form.
