Rose 'Queen Elizabeth' is a regal, award-winning Grandiflora rose known for its tall, elegant stature and abundant clusters of large, pink blooms. First introduced in 1954, it has become a timeless favorite among gardeners for its beauty and resilience.
The blooms are a soft, clear pink with a classic high-centered shape and a light, sweet fragrance. As a Grandiflora, it combines the best features of hybrid teas and floribundas, producing both show-stopping individual flowers and generous clusters on long stems, perfect for cutting gardens.
This rose thrives in full sun and requires fertile, well-drained soil. Its vigorous, upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hedges, focal points, or the back of a mixed border. 'Queen Elizabeth' is also highly disease-resistant, adding to its ease of care. With regular pruning and feeding, it will reward you with stunning blooms from late spring through fall, making it a centerpiece in any garden.
