'Belinda's Dream' Rose is a shrub rose with the high-center bloom and long stem of a hybrid tea, producing abundant medium pink, double flowers throughout the growing season. Fragrant and versatile, it features glossy bluish-green foliage that enhances any garden. Known for its ability to thrive even in highly alkaline clay soils, this rose is a strong performer that seldom requires fungicide sprays, making it ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance beauty. Developed by Dr. Robert Bayse, a retired mathematics professor, 'Belinda's Dream' is a cross between the popular roses 'Tiffany' and 'Jersey Beauty.' Tested by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, it was promoted as a Texas Superstar in March 2002. With a fast-growing, upright habit reaching 5 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, it requires only one major pruning each spring after the last freeze, along with regular fertilizing and deep watering to encourage drought tolerance. Perfect for mixed borders, hedges, tubs, barrels, formal or informal gardens, and excellent for fresh-cut flowers or dried arrangements, this rose combines persistence, fragrance, and ease of care-making it one of the best gardening buys around.
