Bonica®

A low-care rose for the landscape—it's the first shrub to win the AARS award. It has several good qualities: vigorous, easy to grow, bushy and full of very disease-resistant foliage, hardy in harsh climates. Provides clusters of ruffled pink blooms with a sweet scent of fresh-cut apples. Proven performer. Hardy, clean & showy.
