Original and floriferous, the rugosa rose 'Pink Grootendorst' offers a profusion of small, double, light pink flowers, shaped like serrated pompoms that evoke miniature carnations. Gathered in clusters, they appear continuously from June until the frost. This rose with dark green, embossed foliage, typical of rugosas, forms a vigorous bush of 120 to 180 cm, with a bushy and naturally dense silhouette. Very hardy, tolerant of salt spray, poor soils and difficult conditions, it is also highly resistant to diseases. Ideal for country hedges, defensive plantings or low-maintenance gardens, 'Pink Grootendorst' stands out for its unique appearance and great robustness.
