Massive peony-like pink flowers with 45 to 50 petals and a peppery fragrance. Rosa 'LIMformosa', sold as True Bloom® True Inspiration, PP31,791, grows 5 feet tall and 4 feet wide in full sun, hardy to 10 below zero.
This is one of the two roses the breeding program created the Hybrid Tea Shrub class for, and the flower size is the reason.
True Bloom roses come from Ping Lim, the breeder behind the Easy Elegance line, who set out to cross hybrid tea roses with disease-resistant shrubs and get hybrid tea flowers on a plant that survives without a spray program. Two of them, True Passion and True Inspiration, were distinct enough that the program created a class for them: Hybrid Tea Shrub. They are grown on their own roots rather than grafted, so a plant killed back in a hard winter regrows as itself rather than reverting to rootstock, and there are no suckers from below a graft union. Most are hardy to 10 below zero, and high petal counts are the signature of the line.
The upright habit puts it at the back of a border or in use as a specimen.
