Woo bees with a
pink rose bush
Did you know that pink (as well as
white, and yellow single and semidouble)
roses are magnets for bees?
With their exposed stamens and pistils,
the pollen is always fresh, and the bees
love it. Because roses have such a long
flowering season, there are always
flowers, and pollen, for the
bees. Bonus ... they attract
butterflies, too. Lovely!
50 shades of pink …
What’s the most popular rose colour? Pink, by
a pretty mile. And while we haven’t actually
counted, there could very well be 50 or more
shades of pink roses. There’s certainly a pink
for every mood ... soft and dreamy, playful and
happy, flamboyant and feisty.
Here are the newest pink roses:
Pink Polo is a tall, vibrant pink rose that opens
from a classically shaped bud into a sumptuous
quartered bloom, the size of a side plate! The
lightly fragrant blooms are carried on long,
straight stems, so this is a really lovely picking
rose. The bush grows to just above shoulder
height. It is a white ribbon rose, and a portion
of the sales go to CANSA Paarl.
Manuela Crabbia is a nostalgia rose with
huge blooms on strong stems that display
many shades of pink. The silvery-pink broad
outer petals are edged with carmine, and as
the rose unfolds, the centre becomes a soft
salmon pink.
Colette Stella is the epitome of a dreamy
pink rose, with a distinct rosy perfume. As the
many-petalled blooms open into an antique
cup shape, the petals become a deeper, warm
pink. The two-metre high bush flowers from
top to bottom.
Nautica offers just a whisper of pink as an
undertone to the soft lavender shades that
become a silvery sheen as the rose opens. This
is a classical hybrid-tea, with long-lasting large
blooms on a tall, neatly upright growing bush.
It provides an endless supply of blooms.
Gloria Mthunzi has exquisitely shaped,
exhibition-class hybrid tea blooms in a blend
of pink, orange, and cream. The rose is tall and
vigorous, standing out in a mixed border.
Pop along to the Spring Rose
Festival and indulge in all the floral
senses. There will be displays of
roses, tractor train rides through
the roses, rosy refreshments, and a
children’s playground among the
roses. It’s happening at Ludwig’s
Rose farm from Friday, October 2
to Sunday, October 4. Entrance is
free, and it’s well worth the drive.
