Rosa Ringo® Double Pink (Shrub Rose)

Rosa Ringo Double Pink is a small, bushy, shrub rose boasting a profusion of slightly fragrant, semi-double pink flowers adorned with a distinctive wine-red center and bright yellow stamens. Blooming in flushes from early summer to frost, the showy flowers entice passing butterflies to use them as perfect landing pads. They stand out against the healthy, glossy dark green foliage. Easy to grow, low maintenance, cold-hardy, and disease resistant, this charming shrub rose can be grown on its own, in the garden among other perennials, shrubs, or roses, or in patio containers for an easy care display of consistent color.
