Description

Brindabella Roses are a collection of tough but beautiful and supremely fragrant shrub roses selected for superior garden performance and show-stopping flowers with a fragrance that will stop passersby in their tracks. They have a bushy growth habit and excellent disease resistance for one of if not the cleanest roses to be found, which makes them easy to grow and care for. Just give them well-drained soil of average fertility and as much sun as possible and they’ll bloom all season long. These low maintenance roses are very vigorous yet grow to only 4 feet tall and wide in 2 years time, which makes them suited to both home gardens and commercial landscapes.

The ‘Pink Princess’ Brindabella Rose produces an abundance of super-fragrant, fully double bright pink flowers that rebloom in 6-week cycles from spring to frost. The flowers have the most perfume you could ever expect in a rose in the truest sense. Also, the flowers are self-cleaning, which means no deadheading required.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, the Brindabella Pink Princess Rose is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to rose gardens, fragrance gardens, pink theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 3.5 feet apart for hedges; 8 feet apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Brindabella Pink Princess Rose is easy to grow in average, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, to avoid powdery mildew, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. Afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest a minimum of 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.

Maintenance is minimal requiring no pruning or deadheading through the growing season, though you can deadhead if you like for shaping purposes and to encourage quicker rebloom. To keep your rose full and bushy from year to year, in late winter or very early spring the plant can be pruned back to about 18 inches above the ground. After this hard pruning, your rose will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of warmer spring temperatures.

I ordered and received Pink Brindabellas. The bushes arrived in perfect conditions. We planted them in good soil and watered well. There is already at least one new bud on one of the bushes.
