Rosa 'Ballerina' bears large clusters of tiny, slightly fragrant, single pink flowers throughout summer and into autumn. It's perfect for growing in a mixed border, and makes a pretty cut flower. Its single flowers are attractive to bees and makes it a good option for a wildlife garden. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit.
Grow Rosa 'Ballerina' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Deadhead spent blooms to prolong flowering and mulch annually with well-rotted manure or compost.
