Rosa sb. 'Belinda's Blush' (pink)

This deciduous shrub has a compact, bushy habit, making it an excellent choice for garden borders or as a standalone focal point. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9, it thrives in full sun and well-drained, fertile soil, preferring moderate temperatures to promote optimal flowering. Its fragrant, double blooms are a delicate blush pink, providing exceptional beauty from late spring through early fall. Without significant fall color, its ornamental value diminishes after flowering, but the rose hips that follow add seasonal interest. Known for its disease resistance and relatively low maintenance, this rose reaches a mature height of 4-5 feet and a similar spread. It has moderate deer resistance, making it suitable in areas with occasional deer activity. Regular pruning and fertilization enhance growth and flowering performance.
