Regarded as one of the best Musk roses, award-winning Rosa ‘Buff Beauty’ is a vigorous, spreading medium-sized shrub with large clusters of deliciously scented, very full (over 41 petals), semi-double flowers in the most attractive shades of buff-yellow to apricot and paling to primrose. Rich with a strong tea fragrance, the pretty blooms stand out against the lustrous foliage of dark green leaves. Blooming in flushes from summer to fall, this sturdy, repeat-flowering shrub rose provides a charming display that is a feast for the eyes. Good disease resistance.

  • Winner of the prestigious Award of Garden Merit of the Royal Horticultural Society.
  • Can be grown as an arching shrub or as an elegant climber, up to 4-5 ft. tall (120-150 cm) and 3-5 ft. wide (90-150 cm).
  • Best grown in full sun, in rich, moderately fertile, moist, well-drained soils. Tolerant of poor soil, shade, and a northerly site. For best flowering, apply a balanced fertilizer and mulch in late winter or early spring and a balanced fertilizer again in early summer.
  • A superb addition to the mixed border and creates a lovely fragrant hedge. Its medium size allows it to fit small gardens and makes it perfectly suited to container planting. Plant it where you can enjoy its perfume daily: near a doorway, along a path, near your patio or deck.
  • Prune in late summer once flowering is completed.
  • Propagate by hardwood cuttings in autumn or by chip budding in summer
  • Bred by Bentall in 1939
