Grace Rose

Apricot, English Roses

Grace rose is a sweet looking rose, with the most lovely apricot colored blooms. The center of the flower is a deeper apricot color, with lighter apricot tones towards the petal edges. When these apricot roses open, the blooms are shallowly cupped, and then the outer petals reflex back, to form a perfect rosette.

All stages of these apricot English roses (Grace rose), are beautiful, from the pointed buds, to the shallow cupped rose, and finally the perfect rosette when those outer petals reflex back.
