Rosa 'Bonica' (Bonica Shrub Rose) is a robust and reliable shrub rose prized for its continuous display of soft pink, double flowers and excellent disease resistance. This ADR-approved rose produces large clusters of medium-sized, loosely double blooms that open from darker pink buds to a delicate shell pink. The flowers are complemented by dark green, glossy foliage that maintains its attractive appearance throughout the growing season. In autumn, the plant often displays attractive red hips, extending its ornamental interest.
Ideal for mixed borders, mass plantings, and low hedges, 'Bonica' thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. It demonstrates exceptional hardiness and requires minimal maintenance compared to many other roses. This shrub rose is particularly valued for its long flowering season, tough constitution, and ability to provide reliable colour in the landscape with very little care.
