Hermosa
China; Marcheseau, 1840

Date Planted:  June 2001

Exposure:  Full sun

This is an adorable little rose. The 3" blooms are an almost candy-pink but are saved from excessive cuteness by the subtle shading and delightful cupped flower form. There is only a slight fragrance, but it is such a prolific bloomer that the lack of strong fragrance is easily overlooked.

This rose has the typical upright, open, light and airy China growth habit with nodding blooms on thin wood. It has a nice shape - fairly dense and very twiggy, making a nicely rounded 3' x 2' shrub that is an ideal size for container culture. Zone 7 thru 10.
