The ‘Whimsy’ miniature rose is a compact rose with a dense, well-branched habit, valued for its delicate blooms and size suitable for small spaces. It produces an abundance of small, double, soft to medium pink flowers, well-formed and clustered decoratively, from early summer until the first frosts. Its glossy dark green foliage highlights the softness of the flowers and shows good disease resistance for a miniature rose.
