Common name

Refined and majestic, the English rose 'Queen of Sweden' seduces with its perfectly symmetrical cupped flowers, a satiny pale pink that softens over time. Each flower exudes a delicate myrrh fragrance, subtle yet charming. Its upright, compact, and well-branched habit (approximately 100 to 120 cm) makes it a perfect choice for formal beds, low hedges, or row plantings. It is distinguished by its almost vertical stems, ideal for creating a structured silhouette. Disease-resistant, very floriferous, and repeat-flowering, it blooms generously from June to autumn. 'Queen of Sweden' is an elegant and soft rose, perfect for manicured gardens, refined bouquets, and lovers of pastel tones.
