Know before you buy
Yes, this rose is quite versatile. While it naturally forms a compact, arching bush, you can train it against a trellis or fence to reach heights of up to 10 feet.
No, it is a repeat bloomer. You can expect continuous clusters of pink flowers throughout the growing season.
Hips are the fruit of the rose plant that appear after the flowers fade. On the Ballerina rose, these develop in late autumn, providing a bright pop of color and visual interest during the colder months.
An own root rose is grown from a cutting rather than being grafted onto a different rootstock. This often results in a more resilient plant that stays true to its original variety even if it dies back to the ground in winter.
The Ballerina rose typically reaches a mature height of about 7 feet. Because of its arching habit, ensure you have enough width to accommodate its natural spread, or plan to prune it regularly if you prefer a more contained shape.
Yes, this variety is known for its pleasant fragrance, which adds an extra sensory layer to its visual appeal in the garden.
