Growing Pink Flowering Roses
Below you will find a list of Roses from our plant database that are pink flowering or have pink as one of the bloom colors. If you click any of the photos, you will see a Virtual Plant Tag that may contain plant descriptions, usage suggestions and a link to where you can buy that plant for your landscaping. These rose plants can be considered shrubs, bushes, groundcovers or flowering broadleaf evergreens.
Don't forget about roses when you are considering pink flowered shrubs. A huge movement in rose breeding is bringing pest-free and disease-free landscape roses. To get flowering shrubs that flower spring through frost and are low maintenance is exactly what today's busy homeowners are looking for. New roses can be a great answer. Don't think of roses as just roses; think of them as garden shrubs that also happen to be roses.
This list of roses with pink blooms is a mix of tried and true Heirloom or Antique varieties that have stood the test of time, contemporary varieties bred for exceptional bloom power and the promising, new developments of trouble-free landscape roses that range from low-growing types to regular shrubs to climbing and tree-roses. Some of them are grafted and some are now being grown on their own roots with new cloning methods to withstand freeze problems encountered in the past. Combined rose interest is having a major resurgence providing the gardener with easy to care for and rewarding plants that you'll be glad you decided to try.
Roses awash in pink add a feeling of playfulness to the home garden. The romantic pink hues can be enjoyed throughout the season and blend well with cool colors of purple, blue and white but also with warm colors of red, magenta, fuchsia and yellow.
