About Grüss an Aachen Potted Rose Bush

Rosa 'Gruss an Aachen' 

A historic and charming floribunda, often regarded as the foundational variety of the class. Abundant clusters of large, fully double blooms (3–4″ across, 40–50 petals) open in rich salmon-pink hues, aging into creamy-white tones. Lightly fragrant with classic old-rose character, this compact shrub (2–4′ tall and wide) blooms generously from late spring through summer.

**Note - this is a very compact Floribunda. Estate Rose™ potted rose sizes will come in short and compact - less than 20"
