5 to 6 feet
Soft, warm, and wonderfully romantic, Minnie Belle brings a gentle glow to the garden with her charming apricot and blush-pink blooms. Each 2½-inch flower is generously petaled and carries a pleasant, moderate fragrance, creating a beautiful combination of color and perfume that feels right at home in a cottage garden or classic landscape.
A prolific bloomer, Minnie Belle puts on an especially impressive display in spring and again in fall, with scattered blooms appearing between her heavier flushes. Her medium-sized, full flowers are carried in small clusters above healthy, matte green foliage, giving this upright shrub a soft and inviting presence throughout the growing season.
Growing into a handsome 5-to-6 foot shrub, Minnie Belle is particularly lovely planted near an entryway, pathway, patio, or other spot where her warm coloring and fragrance can be enjoyed up close. She also makes a beautiful flowering hedge or specimen and offers blooms worthy of bringing indoors for the vase.
Part of the Pioneer Rose Series, Minnie Belle carries a thoughtful bit of Antique Rose Emporium breeding in her lineage, with Carefree Beauty crossed with Basye's Blueberry. The result is a rose with the generous spirit of a garden classic and the soft, romantic coloring to make her memorable.

We ship our roses from September to May. Other items ship year round.
At checkout, you may choose your desired delivery timeframe. This is a very important step!
We do ask that you make sure the weather in your zone is suitable for receiving and plating your roses.
Antique Rose Emporium is in Texas and the December weather can be anywhere from below freezing to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. But our weather is extremely mild compared to the northern United States.
We want you to have the best success possible with your roses and ask that you let us care for them over the winter and receive them at the time that you plan to plant.
Please ensure that you are not experiencing freezing temperatures and the ground is not frozen when you plan to receive your rose.
