Belinda's Dream® Fortuniana Rootstock Shrub Rose

Beautiful, dependable, and exceptionally well-suited to Southern gardens, Belinda's Dream® is one of the most beloved landscape roses ever introduced. Renowned for its abundant pink blooms, remarkable disease resistance, and nearly continuous flowering, this award-winning shrub rose has become a favorite among gardeners seeking both beauty and reliability. When grafted onto Fortuniana Rootstock, Belinda's Dream® reaches an entirely new level of performance, delivering enhanced vigor, increased flower production, and superior adaptability to sandy soils and warm climates.

The large, fully double blooms open in shades of soft shell pink to rich medium pink, creating a romantic display reminiscent of classic antique roses. Each flower is packed with petals and carried above lush green foliage, producing an elegant and colorful presence throughout the growing season.

Adding to its appeal is a delightful sweet old-rose fragrance, providing a pleasant perfume that can be enjoyed throughout the garden. Unlike many roses, Belinda's Dream® combines outstanding flower production with exceptional disease resistance, making it one of the easiest roses to grow successfully.

When paired with Fortuniana Rootstock, this already vigorous variety develops stronger root systems, larger plants, and increased resilience, making it an ideal choice for Southern landscapes where sandy soils, heat, humidity, and nematode pressure are common challenges.
