Rosa Pink Paradise

Rosa Pink Paradise is a modern hybrid tea rose named after a famous Parisian club synonymous with voluptuousness and delicacy. It bears radiant roses with fuchsia-pink petals and apricot-yellow reverses that fade over time. These double flowers are beautifully curved. They exude a fragrance with subtle notes of spices and freshly cut grass. The natural disease resistance of this excellent variety has earned it the prestigious German ADR* label. These long-lasting flowers make charming scented bouquets throughout summer.

Rosa Pink Paradise was obtained by Delbard in 2011. It already boasts an impressive list of achievements. It holds no less than 7 medals, including the supreme consecration at the international competition in Lyon in 2011 where it was voted 'Rose of the Century', and a second place at the International Perfume Grand Prix in 2012. It is a modern bush rose with large clustered flowers. It is a vigorous shrub with an elegant and slender habit. It reaches about 80 to 90cm (32 to 35in) in height and 60cm (24in) in width at maturity. It has a rapid growth rate. It produces strong, thorny branches that bear dense foliage, with large serrated leaflets of a glossy dark green colour. The foliage is disease-resistant. From late spring to October, the plant produces waves of closely spaced buds with a sunny yellow colour edged in vibrant pink, which open into large, double, iridescent flowers revealing a golden stamen centre. The petals are a vibrant fuchsia-pink with a yellow reverse at first, before fading over time to reveal the romantic side of the flower as it gracefully unfolds. The flowers are gathered in bouquets of 5 to 7 at the end of long shoots from the current year or by those that emerge from 2-year-old stems. The rose will flower continuously if faded blooms are removed. 

Rosa Pink Paradise is a voluptuous, seductive, and delicate rose, yet strong and generous. It only requires fertile and consistently moist soil to fully thrive. It can be placed alone in a small garden, integrated into a small flowering hedge, or planted in groups of 3 among low perennials such as violets, carnations, dwarf asters, or aubrietas. With its modest size, it is ideal for cultivation in a large pot. It blends well in low shrub borders with summer or autumn flowering shrubs, or mixed with light perennials and annuals such as sea kale, paniculate phlox, or tall foxgloves. It can be beautifully displayed in front of a boxwood or yew hedge, or surrounded by a miniature hedge or a carefully organised maze, as in Italian or French gardens. In beds or bouquets, its roses can be combined with white, soft yellow, or pink flowers.
