Hermosa China; Marcheseau, 1840Date Planted: June 2001 Source:
Vintage Gardens 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.
