About Betty White™ Potted Rose Bush

Rosa 'MEIceppus' Betty White™

The resilient and disease-resistant Betty White™ Hybrid Tea rose produces light pink flowers with a distinctly deeper pink center, sometimes showing creamy apricot tones. Its strong, complex fragrance blends damask, musk, myrrh, and classic rose scents. The large, double blooms, with over 40 petals, reach about 5-7 inches in diameter and display a cupped, old-fashioned form. Blooming is recurrent throughout the season, with flowers arising from medium, ovoid buds, usually appearing singly, in small groups, or on stems bearing multiple flowers. The foliage is dense, with large, semi-glossy leaves of medium to dark green. Reaching a mature height of 3 to 4 feet, this cultivar thrives in USDA Zones 6-10, and can be grown in Zone 5 with proper winter protection. The Betty White™ rose is versatile for garden beds, borders, cut flowers, and various garden and landscape designs.
