What do pink roses symbolize?
Pink roses are thought to symbolize friendship, but they also symbolize admiration, appreciation, and joy—a bouquet of pink roses means, "I'm glad I know you!" Forever and Ever Pink® Roses offer a nice multi-tonal look to a bouquet, and are sure to make a beautiful gift. These ultra-bright pink flowers mix nicely with grandiflora roses or other shrub roses. Try a white variety to really showcase the pigment of Forever and Ever's pink tones.
How do you identify a flowering pink rose shrub?
"Shrub rose" is actually a term that applies to any rose that isn't a part of another group, so flowering shrub roses are a varied bunch. Shrub roses or landscape roses differ from hybrid teas, Floribundas, and other upright roses primarily due to habit—landscape roses are low growers, with less space between the ground and the lower foliage. Shrub roses also tend to have single-flowering blooms that open wide to show the eyes of each flower. However, this characterization isn't true of every shrub rose.
Just like hybrid tea roses, Forever and Ever Pink Rose features colorful buds, fragrant flowers, and foliage that will last well into winter. Even before the buds open, you'll enjoy their deep pink color. And, this is a rose bush that looks great year-round, with a nice, compact habit that has an incredible appearance even after the blooming season.
How big does a pink shrub rose get?
Shrub roses vary in size by variety, but are known for their shorter, more compact habit compared to hybrids. Forever and Ever Pink Shrub Rose will grow to a height of twenty to thirty inches, with a spread of up to three feet. That shorter size makes this rose a lovely front-of-border plant. Or, plant your shrub roses in large containers. Forever and Ever Shrub Roses also make a stately-but-bright display when planted in groups of three to five in the garden.
Do pink shrub roses spread?
Pink roses don't propagate underground, so they won't multiply. However, Forever and Ever reaches its full size after just a few growing seasons. With an approximate three foot spread, Forever and Ever will easily create a neat shrub row when planted in multiples.
Are pink shrub roses hardy?
Shrub roses are quite hardy, and can withstand winters in zones as low as Zone 5. In Zones 5 and 6, we recommend fully covering the plant during harsh winters and snowstorms. Covering with a tarp or sheet can protect the plant from damage during sub-zero temperatures. Remove the cover as the weather begins to warm up.
What is the best month to plant pink roses?
The timing of shrub rose planting varies by variety and region, but the best time to plant most roses is after the threat of frost has passed, yet early enough to allow your plants time to start growing before the hot summer. In Zones 5 and 6, you'll be best off planting in late April. Warmer zones can plant shrub roses in March.
