BACK! The very healthy Poetry® rose produces very large clusters of medium-sized, double blooms. These are in various shades of medium to light pink. As the bloom ages, the sweetheart pink buds open to a gently cupped flower with scalloped petal edges. With the generous abundance of blossoms and a more loose flower structure, this rose gives us both a poetic and yet free-form kind of overall beauty. This rose can be expected to reach 4′ – 5′ in height and has an upright habit. The foliage is leathery, and glossy, and is medium green in colour. This stunning rose has won many distinctions in the rose world, including the Gold Medal at the Rome Rose Trials and Golden Rose at Kortrijk/Courtrai Rose Trials in 2016, the ADR-Sorte in 2017, and the Bronze at the Australian Rose Trials in 2022.
