Bonica Rose

Pink Floribunda Roses

Bonica Rose has large clusters of soft candy pink fully double blooms. These Pink Floribunda roses are the perfect hedge roses, and shrub rose. No garden should be without the stellar shrub named "World's Favorite Rose" in 1997.

The Bonica rose forms a compact bush that features clusters of dainty shell pink flowers and glossy, disease-resistant foliage.  This landscape rose is pretty even before the first blooms appear.

The parade of bloom from Rosa 'Bonica' continues from the first flower, until frost and is followed by an abundance of bright orange-red hips. It is an ideal choice for beginners.
