Bonica

Standard Tree Rose

The reliability and free-flowering nature of 'Bonica' makes it a good standard rose. It bears dainty clusters of attractive, small to medium-sized, rose pink flowers. These are produced very freely and repeat well. If the flowers are not dead-headed they will be followed by a wonderful crop of bright red hips, which last long into the winter. With its tidy, spreading growth and ample foliage it forms an attractive head. There is a very light fragrance. .
