The extravagance of the Bonica® Shrub Rose (Rosa 'Meidomonac') lends itself to this renowned history. Named the World's Favorite Rose in 1997 and with countless awards under its belt this Rose has earned itself a reputation worthy of praise. The pink explosion that adorns this shrub is sure to bring beauty to your garden for months to come! These shell-pink flowers begin in late spring and continue right up until frost!
This sturdy Shrub Rose displays out-of-this-world clusters of flowers atop dark green, glossy foliage. These cotton candy pink double blooms are truly a sight to behold as they grow so well they seem unrealistically pretty even in person! Rest assured, the loss of flowers in the fall will not deter the Bonica® Rose's quest for beautification! The approaching fall turns the cloudlike pink Rose buds into bright orange-red Rose hips sure to stick around long into the cold winter months!
Roses have long been a popular choice among gardeners! Between their stark resilience to environmental threats to a natural beauty that thousands of people adore, you can't go wrong with a Rose Bush! Hardy in a wide growing area of USDA growing zones 4 through 9 and are very low maintenance!
Planting and Application:
These are gorgeous landscaping ornamentals! The flowers fill your garden and indoor vase arrangements in clouds of pink, and the rosehips add color to wintery dried décor. Pollinator gardens will appreciate the addition of the Bonica® Landscape Shrub Rose and songbirds love the seeds inside the rosehips! Plant this Rose Shrub with this in mind, as the orange-red hips show off brilliantly in the fresh winter powder.
This Rose Shrub's long-lasting blooms look like they were created to fit into the cottage-style garden. Its varied growth potential makes it a great accent flower to plants of all other sizes! The Bonica® Rose can flower for so long this plant has earned itself the nickname "landscape Rose". Remember this when choosing the location for your Rose Shrub, because it will be living there for the next decade or so!
Several of these shrubs in succession make for a decorated hedge or border wall. Formal gardens use this strategy with great success. Plant your shrubs 3-4 feet apart on center for a continuous hedge before an evergreen foundation planting, as facer shrubs to dress up an Arborvitae hedge that may be getting leggy, or to create a low, property-defining border and backdrop!
The stunning color of these Shrub Roses would make the perfect backdrop for your family pictures. Consider planting behind a bench or along a brick wall for an Instagram-worthy background from spring until frost! You'll love the dark pink buds and the lighter pink blossoms for a two-tone effect all over the entire shrub!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Site selection is actually the most important aspect when choosing where to locate these long-lived shrubs! Plant Roses in full sun, favoring the morning sun for best results. Making sure the soil is well draining is important as well. Roses outdoors or in containers require a consistent schedule of supplemental moisture. Don't forget to add a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch.
Prune to maintain height in late winter or early spring. Pruning Roses allows for better, bushier growth each year.

Rose Bush FAQs
Where Is The Best Place To Plant Rose Bushes?
Rose bushes prefer full sun and favor the drying power of the morning sun and flower best in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Choose a location in good, enriched soil that drains well and has good air circulation.
What Is The Best Month to Plant Roses?
You can plant Roses any time if you are able to provide enough consistent moisture and attention. While there is not a specific month that is best, generally because it changes with temperatures, climate and growing zone. However, the easiest times of the year to get Rose bushes established in your landscape are in spring after the last frost date, and in fall about 4-6 weeks before the first frost.
Do Rose Bushes Come Back Every Year?
Rose bushes are deciduous woody perennial shrubs and will return bigger and better each year.
