About this plant
Rosa 'All Dressed Up' is a grandiflora rose showcasing full, old-fashioned blooms in soft pink hues, often held singly on long, elegant stems ideal for cutting. Each blossom emits a delicate apple-tea fragrance and appears in repeat flushes from late spring through fall. The flowers are framed by glossy, dark green foliage that remains clean and robust throughout the season, while occasional rose hips may form later for late-season interest. Its well-branched, upright form supports both garden beauty and vase-worthy stems.
Bred by Christian Bédard in the United States and introduced in 2019, this rose earned its U.S. plant patent in 2020. It was immediately noted for its non-fading color, strong disease resistance, and reliable bloom habit. Celebrated in trial gardens, it provides long-lasting, elegant floral displays that enhance both beds and bouquets.
Planting & care
Roses reward a sunny, open site with at least six hours of direct light, good air movement, and well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Water deeply and less often, soaking the root zone while keeping the leaves dry, and mulch with two to three inches of compost or shredded bark held back from the canes. Feed repeat-blooming roses in early spring as growth starts and again after the first flush, then prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing canes and open the center. Grandifloras carry clustered blooms on taller stems, so a sturdy, open framework pays off.
