The roses are getting a new flush of blooms now and they are so welcome. Granted the stems are looking terrible this year between fighting the very wet year we had and into a major heat wave. Black spot has been a problem this year on roses in my garden that had not had any problem before.
Pink Flamingo also keeps it color in the blooms as they age.
The form of the blooms are between a modern rose and a romantica style.
With blooms measuring 4 to 4 1/2 inches and the bush can reach to 5 feet in height and could be a good rose for containers with a little trimming.
It is hardy to zone 6 through zone 9 so I am pushing the zones here in my zone 5b area by keeping it mulched in this winter.
It is wonderful as a cut flower and the only downfall about the rose that I can find is that it has no fragrance.
Everyone have a wonderful weekend and join in “Flaunting Your Flowers” before they are gone over at “Tootsie Time” with Glenda.
Happy Gardening,
Lona

Hi Lona, I dislike it when pink roses fade in the sunlight or turn brown when the flower is dying. Your Pink Flamingo is very pretty and I like it all the better knowing that it ages so well. Have a great weekend!
It is a beautiful rose,my white rose has new blooms and looking better.
I've never heard of a pink flamingo rose. I definitely need one of those in Florida.
Don't you just hate blackspot?! This rose looks lovely. Enjoy your new flush! I see a glimpse of more roses blooming behind this one - very pretty.
She is a beauty! It's nice to hear that all your Roses are getting new flushes of blooms. It sounds like it's been a hard year for them.
Beautiful rose, wish I could grow it but I would really be pushing it in my zone 5, just too cold.

How lovely! Definitely make a wonderful bouquet. Oh the colour pink is so sweet. Regards to fragrance, maybe it was too mild haha... ;-) Have a great weekend and enjoy these beautiful roses Lona!
Beautiful, beautiful! The colors are so pretty next to the green foliage.
Hi Lona,
It looks lovely, and I'm glad it's so far disease-free for you :)
Your roses are inspiring me to take better care of mine. Just lovely.

Gosh but the roses are beautiful.
I am not a rose grower by any means, I'd rather see yours!
This is a beautiful rose I had not seen this one before. Thanks so much for sharing it .
