Rosa 'Gruss an Aachen' is a small, bushy, polyantha rose with attractive clusters of slightly fragrant, fully double (over 40 petals), rosette-shaped flowers, up to 3 in. across (7 cm). They open warm pink with peach tones and mature to creamy white. Truly beautiful, the blooms are produced in great quantities throughout summer until frost. They are nicely complimented by a healthy foliage of dark green, glossy leaves. Bushy and vigorous, this rounded, small shrub is terrific for beds and borders. Disease resistant.
