What Growers Notice

Notes, Photos, and Shared Experience

Read the overview first, then look through shared photos and real grower notes to get a better feel for how this rose behaves.

Overview

Few roses match award-winning Bonica for steady colour and stamina. Its soft pink, double flowers open in abundant clusters from late spring to frost, filling borders and hedges with lasting charm. Each 2½" bloom carries about 35–40 petals and a light fragrance. The plant’s bushy, rounded shape and glossy green foliage stay handsome throughout the season. Exceptionally disease resistant and winter hardy, this 1987 AARS and 1993 Award of Garden Merit winner earns every bit of its reputation.
