Belinda's Dream Rose
This is the rose that began it all. John and the kids gave it to me for Mother’s Day 2005. He asked the lady at Lantana Gardens nursery for a rose that would be easy, beautiful and smell wonderful. She hit the mark on all accounts.
The Belinda’s Dream is a shrub rose that was introduced in 1992. It has now been rated by the ARS (American Rose Society) with an 8.4 rating, which is excellent. Our bush is now approximately 6′ by 6′ and loaded with blooms. It is wider than I thought it would be and I have had to slowly move things out from under it as it takes over. This is a VERY disease resistant rose. The only problem I have with this rose is that the blooms are so numerous and heavy that they can bend the branches all they way to the ground or even break them.
This rose has been designated as both an ‘Earthkind Rose and a Texas Superstar.
