Plants are free bloomers, and bushes are easy to prune into mounded shrubs or stylized borders. Extremely disease resistant, easily cultivated and naturally graceful. Blossoms formed in large sprays are clear pink and abundant. Fine crops of hips each fall. Cape Cod Border rose.
Flowers resemble large apple blossoms.
Although it looks like a species rose, it's modern to the core and continuously in bloom. The quintessential landscape shrub rose, not only because it fits so well into the landscape, but, also as advertised, it's fuss-free. Tight little carmine pink rosebuds open their five petals into lightish mid pink, five-petalled blossoms that can reach up to three inches each. A joy year-round, including winter, when plants produce a smashing crop of hips. Central Park Groundcover.
