About this plant
Rosa 'Shirley's Bouquet' is a hybrid tea rose opening from pointed buds into large, white blooms with a pink blush at the petal edges. Flowers appear in repeat waves from late spring through fall, supported by dark green semi-gloss foliage. The blossoms are full and spiral‑centered, and emit a strong sweet‑rose perfume that suits both garden display and cut arrangements.
Bred in France and introduced in the U.S. around 2015 under the name Shirley's Bouquet™, this rose is known for clean health and reliable flowering. Its bloom size, petal count, and fragrance make it a favorite among gardeners seeking garden elegance and long‑lasting blooms.
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. Long, straight stems make hybrid teas ideal for cutting, so give each plant room and airflow.
Where to see it
This plant can be seen at the Portland International Rose Test Garden.
