Mildly fragrant Rosa 'Pink Grootendoorst' has relatively small pink blooms, typically under 2". However, the flowers are continuous blooming, showy and make an excellent choice for cut flowers. Growing as a shrub in full sun, this plant works well as a windbreak or a hedge. The foliage is light green and crinkled. A very cold hardy specimen.
Providing air circulation around this plant and removing fallen leaves can help to prevent disease.
