"Across from the Health Food Store” (unknown found rose)
This charming and carefree found rose was originally given the Study Name “Health food” as it was discovered across from a health food store in the foothills. The rose grows to about 6’ tall with lovely pink blooms shading to magenta. The blooms pull you in to try to detect their slight fragrance. Flowers are large, very double with an excellent repeat. Rosarians have not yet determined its class; one suggestion is Hybrid Perpetual. The rose grows vigorously to six feet and needs to be pruned to keep to that height as it is very vigorous and needs space. It remains somewhat smaller when grown in part shade. This rose blooms throughout the season.
