(Rosa sempervirens x R. 'Mlle Martha Carron') This deservedly famous rose has passed the test for continuous bloom, disease resistance and general beauty here at our nursery. Vigorous in habit, Rosa 'Bonica' would make as fine a groundcover rose as it does an individual specimen. The delicate pink flowers are frilly in appearance and bloom in sprays on strong stems. New foliage is coppery in color turning rich glossy green as it ages. The fact that the flowers do not have much fragrance seems beside the point when you are dealing with so many other remarkable traits.
