Bonica
Shrub Rose; Meilland, 1987

Date Planted:  April 5, 1998
Source:  Jackson & Perkins
Exposure:  Full sun

Bonica is considered one of the easiest, most 'bullet-proof' roses to grow. It is a real workhorse bloom machine, absolutely covered with pink blooms. They're not particularly fragrant, but there's so many of them that I can overlook it. The foliage is particularly attractive - rather small, dark green, finely toothed with a red edge. It is happiest and looks its best when kept only lightly pruned. I keep mine at about 5' high.
