Sophy’s Rose

Rose Type: English Rose

Sophy’s Rose produces beautifully formed, crimson-pink blooms that gradually soften into deeper pink tones as the flowers mature. Large, 4–5-inch rosette-shaped blooms are filled with approximately 80 petals, creating the broad, flattened flower form that makes English Roses so distinctive. Smaller petals gathered at the center gradually expand outward into larger outer petals, giving each bloom remarkable depth and texture.

A light tea fragrance complements the abundant repeat blooms that appear from late spring through early winter. This upright, bushy shrub develops a compact, twiggy growth habit accented by elongated foliage that gives the plant an airy, graceful appearance. Strong disease resistance, dependable rebloom, and tolerance for heat, coastal conditions, and partial shade make Sophy's Rose a versatile addition to borders and mixed garden plantings.
