First Lady
Description
First Lady is an elegant statement rose, producing large, densely petaled blush-pink blooms with the romantic fullness of an old-fashioned garden rose. The flowers open slowly from rounded buds, revealing layer upon layer of softly ruffled petals and holding beautifully on the plant or in the vase. Its refined coloring and substantial blooms make it especially lovely in cutting gardens, romantic borders, and anywhere a softer, more sophisticated rose is desired.
1-Gallon Starter Plant Disclaimer
Our 1-gallon plants are young starter plants and require a little more intentional care, especially through their first winter.
With proper protection from extreme cold and drying conditions, they’re a wonderful way to add a quality plant to your garden at a more economical price — and enjoy watching it grow into something beautiful.
