The most beautiful pink roses - Plantura (2024)

Pink roses represent youth and beauty. We can make any girl’s dream come true with our list of the fifteen most beautiful rose varieties from rosé to pink.

Delicate, fairy-tale floral dream or brightly coloured eye-catcher – pink roses (Rosa) are a real all-rounder in the flower bed and, along with red rose varieties, are among the most popular choices in the garden. Their pronounced diversity, which includes a range of varieties between dwarf plants, large climbing roses, delicate rosé tones and intense fuchsia blooms is what makes pink roses so popular. Let us show you which pink rose varieties are among the most beautiful of all, here.

Are roses (Rosa) naturally red? This is a common misconception – in fact, the original colour of the queen of flowers was most likely pink. Even today, many wild roses, such as the dog rose (Rosa canina) or vine rose (Rosa rubiginosa), show themselves in a delicate shade of pink, and there is an almost immeasurable selection of pink varieties, even among cultivated roses. Unsurprising, considering that the pink beauties impress us not only with their appearance, but also with their changeability: pastel varieties enchant with their dreamy, almost fairy-tale charm, while brightly coloured variations are wonderful for modern accents in the garden.

The most beautiful pink rose varieties

Below, we have compiled a list of the most beautiful pink roses for you.

15. ‘Rome®’ groundcover rose

With its vibrant pink, the ‘Rome®’ rose is a real eye-catcher in any garden, also ideal as groundcover thanks to its dense and compact growth. In addition, the plant scores highly with its exceedingly good leaf health and robust nature, which ensures that its incredible hue does not fade, even in the heat. However this ADR rose does not particularly like the cold, since it is only conditionally hardy. You should give the ‘Rome®’ a little winter protection.

14. ‘Beverly®’ garden rose

With its heavy double blooms and great pink hue, which can vary significantly depending on the season, the ‘Beverly®’ garden rose is a real feast for the eyes. Even more impressive, however, is its smell: strong and intensely scented with citrus, the rose leaves no doubt as to why it has won several fragrance awards. This fragrant rose also has good leaf health, which is why it also gives a lot of pleasure to hobby gardeners.

13. ‘Rosarium Uetersen®’ climbing rose

An impressive play of colours is one of the distinguishing features of the ‘Rosarium Uetersen®’ climbing rose. While the large, double flowers start out a pleasant deep pink, over time they take on a lovely, slightly silvery tone. The beauty of the rose is supported by its dense growth and strongly overhanging shoots, which give it an enchanting charm. But their special frost hardiness and rain resistance are another benefit of this long-flowering rose.

12. ‘The Fairy®’ groundcover rose

The exterior of ‘The Fairy®’ groundcover rose is just as magical as its name implies. This charming variety captivates with its small, salmon-coloured flowers, which appear in large numbers and stand together in large umbels. In addition to its beauty and good leaf health, the versatility of the pretty rose is particularly attractive: whether as a ground cover or in a flower pot, the charming ‘The Fairy®’ variety exudes a bit of its magic everywhere.

11. ‘Gertrude Jekyll®’ English rose

The enchanting English Rose ‘Gertrude Jekyll®’ is an experience for all the senses. With their vibrant pink colour that contrasts elegantly with grey-green foliage, the large flowers are a unique eye-catcher and exude a nostalgic charm. At the same time, ‘Gertrude Jekyll®’ haes good heat tolerance and extremely rain-resistant flowers. But ‘Gertrude Jekyll®’ does not just look good in flowerbeds: it also makes a great cut flower and can even be used as a climbing rose.

10. ‘Maxi Vita®’ bedding rose

High heat tolerance and impressive leaf health are just a few of the reasons why the ‘Maxi Vita®’ bedding rose makes a great addition to any garden. With its bold blooms of intense pink, the ADR rose is one of the undisputed stars of the garden and a great eye-catcher. Due to its growth height of just 60 to 70 centimetres, ‘Maxi Vita®’ can also be used very well as a decorative groundcover.

9. ‘Frederic Mistral®’ garden rose

A heavenly scent of historical roses mixed with a hint of lime – this impressive aroma belongs to the ‘Frederic Mistral®’ garden rose and has already enchanted numerous noses. But the flowers of this charming rose also have a lot to offer: Pale pink, large and attractively filled, they are a real feast for the eyes and are in no way inferior to the intense fragrance of the plant.

8. ‘Bonica 82®’ bedding rose

The ‘Bonica 82®’ beddign rose rightly carries the predicate as an ADR rose and the title of “World Rose 2003”: Not only does the flower shine with long flower life, it is also frost hardy, rainproof and extremely robust. Visually, ‘Bonica 82®’ is particularly impressive with its rich pile of double, pale pink flowers that make a great eye-catcher in the garden from June to September.

7. ‘Heidetraum®’ groundcover rose

Countless small, crimson flowers transform the groundcover rose ‘Heidetraum®’ into a brilliant highlight in the garden each year.

In addition to its great appearance, this ADR rose also inspires with its very low-maintenance nature: Robust and healthy, the ‘Heidetraum®’ thrives magnificently in almost any location.

6. ‘Super Excelsa®’ rambler rose

Although the flowers of the ‘Super Excelsa®’ climbing rose are quite small with a diameter of about three centimetres, its abundance of flowers and the fact that it is one of the few rambler roses that bloom more often, immediately make up for this disadvantage. Instead, the ‘Super Excelsa®’ captivates with an intense crimson colour and is also extremely robust. It is therefore hardly surprising that this dainty climbing rose was awarded the ADR title as early as 1991.

5. ‘Pomponella®’ bedding rose

When you first see the ‘Pomponella®’ bedding rose, its unusual name is self-explanatory: its unusual flowers look like small pompons growing on the plant. Together with its dark pink colour and the lovely scent it gives off, ‘Pomponella®’ provides a truly enchanting, nostalgic charm. At the same time, this ADR rose is considered to be extremely healthy and easy to care for, which makes it great for beginners.

An impressive flower on elegant, long stems – the ‘Souvenir de Baden-Baden®’ garden rose is a truly stylish souvenir that does not only appeal to seasoned rose lovers, with its cream-coloured flowers, which take on an intense pink hue towards the centre, the distinctive rose is a real feast for the eyes, which also beguiles with an intense fragrance. Its durability combined and leaf health are remarkable and have deservedly helped the rose to secure its ADR certification.

3. ‘Jasmina®’ climbing rose

The multitude of flowers that the ‘Jasmina®’ climbing rose proudly presents from June onward is almost unbelievable.

In addition, this impressive plant is also considered very robust and boasts an ADR certificate and several other awards.

2. ‘Parole®’ garden rose

A master of superlatives: the ‘Parole®’ garden rose is probably one of the most impressive rose varieties ever. Thus, the flower not only captivates with its huge double flowers, often up to 14 centimeters in diameter, but also with its bright pink colour, which creates eye-catching accents in the garden. Its intoxicating scent has also earned the rose some of the most prestigious fragrance awards in the rose world. The fact that the rose additionally has excellent leaf health is just the cherry on top.

1. ‘Marie Henriette®’ bedding rose

When a unique smell of aniseed paired with the aroma of fresh apples flows through the garden, the ‘Marie Henriette®’ bedding rose is likely the trigger: This enchanting beauty delights almost everyone with its great aroma.

Additionally, ‘Marie Henriette®’ is extremely hardy and is an ADR-certified rose.

The symbolic meaning of pink roses

Red and the pink rose have some similarities, not only in terms of colour, but also in their meaning: Both stand for love and are often given as a sign of deep affection. However, since the pink rose is much more delicate in colour than its sister, it is usually associated with young love that is still in its infancy, making it a great gesture among new couples. There are also different meanings among individual shades of pink: Thus, pastel shades represent beauty and respect, while a darker pink symbolises gratitude and recognition.
