Best use is in the mixed border. The dainty flowers are charming, and somewhat reminiscent of carnations. The most unusual characteristic of 'Pink Grootendorst' is that the end of each petal is slightly serrated to give an informal appearance. Color is medium pink and fragrance is slight. Pink Grootendorst' is not an especially attractive shrub, being rather spare with its leaves, which are small.
Canes are indeed thorny.
Due to its growth habit, I would not recommend it first as a specimen or for use in a formal rose bed. The best use of this shrub is in the mixed border, where its blowsy blooms will add an informal grace. Inc. Learn more about our web design services . All rights reserved.
