True Perfume Rose — Rosa 'True Perfume' (Reblooming Shrub Rose)
True Perfume Rose (Rosa 'True Perfume') is a truly exceptional compact reblooming shrub rose that delivers everything a rose lover could ask for — the classic fragrance, elegant double flower form, and continuous color — in a robust, disease-resistant package that performs with reliability from late spring all the way until frost. Its large, classically rose-scented light pink double flowers with soft white-infused reverses open in continuous flushes on a compact, mounding deciduous shrub with glossy dark green foliage, providing month after month of fragrant, cut-flower-quality blooms throughout the growing season. Selected for strong disease resistance in a species that typically demands intensive fungicide programs in humid climates, True Perfume represents a more manageable approach to growing fragrant roses without sacrificing classic beauty. Grows best in full sun with rich, moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. In humid areas, regular fungicide applications remain advisable to prevent powdery mildew, black spot, rust, and rose rosette. Hardy to Zone 6.
