Description

Cultivar name: 'JACink.' The Rose that started it all! Simplicity is widely credited with being the first hedge rose, and its 1978 introduction changed the way we gardened with Roses forever.  Repeat-blooming and very floriferous, its real advantage was its full, bushy, well-branched habit, which looks good in a border or mixed planting and doesn't need the wide spacing of traditional Roses. This floribunda brought Roses into areas of the garden where they had never been, and our landscape is so much richer for it. Simplicity? is about 5 feet tall and nearly as wide, the perfect size for a hedge, screen, foundation, or back of the border planting. Several times each summer it simply covers itself in huge clusters of 3 1/2-inch blooms, each soft pink blossom lightly fragrant and very long-lasting. Boasting up to 18 petals, these fully double blooms are exquisite in any setting, but as a hedge or large planting, they simply bowl you over.Named for its ease of care, Simplicity? is famously unfussy, needing no spraying or other treatment to keep its healthy foliage and heavy flowering. Descended from the classic shrub rose 'Iceberg,' it was introduced by American Rosarian William A. Warriner. And Simplicity? has since led to other colors -- Yellow Simplicity? and Fragrant Lavender Simplicity.? All about the same size, they are an unbeatable trio, and we offer all 3 at a nice price in our Simplicity? Collection. You will love these floribundas' constant bloom and rich, lush foliage.
