Product Description

An American rose named for Britain's beloved and long-serving monarch, Queen Elizabeth was a true turning point in the rose industry--and remains an exquisite classic today. One of the first Grandifloras introduced to the market, Queen Elizabeth turned the rose world on its head in 1955 and was inducted into the Rose Hall of Fame in 1979. This "first and finest" Grandiflora can be spotted around the world, decorating the landscapes of rose lovers with a profusion of pointed, pink buds. Upon blooming, Queen Elizabeth opens in large, silver-pink blooms with a perfect high center, borne on long-stemmed clusters. If you're seeking the mother of all Grandifloras, you've found her.
