A powerful scent of sweet citrus and rose comes off apricot-orange flowers, which is an unusual color and an unusual strength for a disease-resistant shrub. Easy Elegance® Sweet Fragrance rose (Rosa 'BAInce') grows 2 to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide in full sun, hardy from Zone 5 through Zone 9.
Fragrance in a landscape rose usually comes at the cost of health. This one carries both, and the name says which trait came first.
Most of the Easy Elegance roses come from the renowned breeder Ping Lim, aimed at putting hybrid tea flower quality on a plant that survives a northern winter without a spray program. They grow on their own roots rather than grafted, so a plant killed back in a hard winter comes back as itself. Pruning is a cutback in early spring and nothing more.
The compact size suits a spot near a path or a door where the scent gets noticed.
