National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Helen Hayes is a time tested shrub rose valued for its elegant rose pink blooms, strong growth, and dependable repeat flowering. Bare root roses arrive dormant and leafless, consisting of a healthy root system and sturdy canes that are ready to establish quickly once planted. Bare root roses are easy to plant, just soak in water for several hours to rehydrate the roots, then plant into well prepared soil with good drainage and plenty of sunlight. After planting, new growth typically begins within a few weeks as temperatures warm, followed by leaf development and sturdy upright canes. As the plant becomes established, Helen Hayes produces large double flowers throughout the season, delivering classic color and graceful beauty in the garden. This rose offers reliable performance, timeless appeal, and excellent versatility in a wide range of landscape settings.
