Ball Gown is the rose for a narrow bed or a cutting garden where floor space is short. This Romantica shrub rose, Rosa 'Meipapey', grows 5 to 6 feet tall but only 2 to 3 feet wide, upright and columnar rather than mounding, which lets it fit between a walk and a wall where a standard shrub rose would crowd. Full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 11, and it reaches full size in two or three seasons.
The flowers are the Romantica type: large, very full, packed with petals in a deep pink that holds its color instead of fading pale in summer heat. The form is old-fashioned, quartered and cupped, carried on long straight stems that cut well and hold in a vase. Classic rose fragrance, and it reblooms through the season rather than flushing once.
Disease resistance is good, which is the practical advantage of the modern Romantica breeding over the antique roses whose flowers it imitates. It holds foliage through a humid summer without an intensive spray program.
The upright habit can leave the base bare, so it pairs well with something low planted in front. Space 3 to 4 feet apart. Shipped on its own roots.
