Description: When Queen Elizabeth was first introduced, there wasn't really a category for it.  The plant is tall and stately, and blooms are large.  This usually defines a hybrid tea.  But flowers were also borne in clusters, similar to floribunda roses.  So a new category was created – the grandiflora – and Queen Elizabeth was first in the class.  This groundbreaking rose boasts elegant sprays of porcelain pink blooms on each long stem.  The flowers are rounded and fully double, complemented by leathery, dark green foliage.  The regal plant is perfect for back-of-border or specimen plantings in the perennial garden, and when planted with blue companions, its gorgeous color is especially striking.  This rose has been consistently ranked among the most popular with gardeners – order it for your garden today.  We'll ship premium bareroot plants in spring, ready to put on a command performance.
