The Rosa ‘Uptown Girl’ is a romantic and highly floriferous grandiflora rose, distinguished by its large, double, soft pink flowers delicately nuanced with cream at the heart. Their full form recalls old roses while maintaining a modern structure. Produced in elegant bouquets on long, strong stems, they offer excellent staying power both in the garden and in a vase. Its moderate, sweet, and slightly fruity fragrance accompanies an abundant and recurrent bloom that ensures a sustained presence throughout the season. Its upright and vigorous habit forms a structured shrub, ideal for borders or as a feature planting. Its dark green, dense, and healthy foliage contributes to good general resistance and highlights the softness of the color. The Rosa ‘Uptown Girl’ brings elegance, floral volume, and consistency to landscapes while actively attracting pollinating insects.
