HEAVENLY PINK® – pink park rose – Lens
Reliable performance, compact stature and remontant flowering make Heavenly Pink® a practical, low-risk choice for nursery beds and standard-container production where uniform shrub roses are required for retail and landscape outlets. As a tray-rooted pharmaROSA® NEONATAL cutting, it offers own-root stability for scalable 2–3 L lines and hedging material that will regenerate well over time with minimal pruning and feeding. Its dense, dark-green foliage and softly pastel pink rosette clusters support thematic and collection plantings serving UK show and public gardens, while its strong disease resistance underpins predictable quality and low loss rates. The own-root base allows a natural development arc from roots in year one, structural shoots in year two and full ornamental value in year three, supporting long-term project supply in climates needing dependable winter and wind tolerance across exposed sites. With an award-backed pedigree, this cultivar can confidently underpin private-label and wholesale shrub rose assortments.
