Old Blush
China
1752
This rose is known by many other names: Common Monthly, Parson's Pink China, and Old Pink Monthly…the list goes on. It is one of the most common roses, and one of the most valuable since it is considered one of the original parents of modern roses. The buds open to a lilac-pink and the plant is in bloom 11 months out of the year, in our climate. `Old Blush' can get 6' tall, but you can easily prune it back to keep it in bounds. It makes a wonderful hedge and is the perfect rose for a beginner, since it needs no constant care.
