Ballerina Rose
Ballerina Shrub RoseBallerina rose, a versatile, fuss-free pink rose with good disease resistance, is very popular with a lot of gardeners including myself.
It is hard to think of ways to improve on this wonderful, easy to grow hybrid musk rose, except maybe to add more fragrance.
The Ballerina bush, a modern shrub rose, has pink rose flowers that resemble Hydrangea heads.
There are
hundreds of lovely small single light pink flowers that totally covers this rose bush.
The pink flowers look somewhat like apple blooms, and they put on quite a show when spring arrives. Everyone is drawn to this rose bush because it looks so different from other roses.
There is only a mild musky rose fragrance, but for this rose, the flower show more than makes up for it. There is short pause after the show-stopping first bloom flush, with repeat blooms all summer, and then a good second bloom flush in the fall. It has a graceful rounded growth habit and lots of medium green healthy foilage. This is a very easy to care for
rose, that doesn't require a lot of maintenance, if any.
It can be planted on its own or in groups, however I especially love the way it's planted in the picture above,
spilling over a picket fence.
The 'Ballerina' bush in the picture above is fairly newly planted. I will grow to about 4-5 feet if allowed. It is easy to shear it down to keep this rose a bit smaller. This is an excellent picture of this rose plant. I think the flowers are adorable.
