Description
Meet the Brindabella First Lady Shrub Rose, a vigorous floribunda that sets the new standard for shrubs roses with superior genetics for disease resistance and heat tolerance, and the most perfume you could ever expect in a rose in the truest sense, which will stop any passerby in their tracks. This beauty perpetually produces an abundance of double flowers in shades of lavender pink from spring to frost! The flowers fade to several different shades of pink and are self-cleaning which means no deadheading required. Though very vigorous, this low maintenance rose grows to only 4 feet tall and wide in 2 years time. Very well suited to home gardens and commercial landscapes alike as well as containers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, the Brindabella First Lady Shrub Rose is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings or as a colorful hedge in landscape and flowering shrub borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, rose gardens, cottage gardens and pink theme gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 3.5 feet apart for hedges; 8 feet apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Brindabella First Lady Rose is easy to grow in average, moist but well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. As with all other roses, to avoid powdery mildew, morning sun is a must to dry dew from the leaves. Afternoon shade or filtered sun is fine. We suggest 6 hours of direct sun light for best flowering.
Maintenance is minimal with no pruning required, though the plant can benefit from it. An annual pruning in late winter, at which time branches can be cut back to about 18 inches above the ground, will result in a fuller plant throughout the growing season. After this hard pruning, your rose will quickly flush out and start blooming with the arrival of warmer spring temperatures. Deadheading spent flowers through the season is not necessary however will encourage more new buds and flowers.

I was worried when these plants arrived in the heat; but they were well packaged and I planted them right away. Now, they all have buds forming and new growth. I am a bit disappointed that the actual color is a lighter pink than shown here – perhaps it is the hot weather (zone 8B – been heat index of over 100 degrees!) overall, pleased with these plants.———————————————The second show of blooms may be darker after planting. 🙂 We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come!
