Pink Colour Schemes

Pink is the master of adaptability. Simply by planting with different combinations of pink roses you can create a myriad of styles. Create soft sugary pathways flanked by delicate blossom pinks, plant a fun, fruity border with fuchsia and orange, or take a more regal approach to pink by combining rich magentas and red-pink jewel tones. Classic and forever a firm favourite, pink is the colour that comes in every shade imaginable.

Light pink roses
  • With large and perfectly formed, shallowly cupped blooms of pure light pink, paling to soft blush on the outer petals. Her gentle petals are offset by her foliage which starts out red, later turning green.
    The generous gardener®
  • A majestic rose bearing clusters of large, crisp apple blossom pink rosettes, paling to the gentlest blush white. She has a strong, sweet, fresh fragrance with hints of lemon sherbet and Old Rose.
    Elizabeth®
Mid-pink roses
  • A very healthy, well-balanced shrub with beautiful cupped rosettes of mid pink colouring. Ideal for a hedge or mixed border, she is the ultimate easy care rose.
    OLIVIA ROSE AUSTIN®
  • Its medium-sized blooms look like an impressionist painting even in real life, offering a kaleidoscope of colours, at first pink with a yellow button eye, then brighter coral-pink tones softening to mauve and lilac.
    EMMA BRIDGEWATER™
Deep pink roses
  • A magnificent variety, bearing large, many petalled rosette blooms. They are a striking shade of deep pink, the outer petals of each bloom paling slightly over time.
    GABRIEL OAK®
  • it is always one of the first English Roses to start flowering, its perfect scrolled buds open to large, rosette-shaped flowers of bright glowing pink.
    GERTRUDE JEKYLL®
The colour of foliage

The contrast and variation of green foliage is the secret to why pink roses work well, without being overly fussy. Touches of grounding green and glimpses of bold red growth add a toughness to a classic pink rose bed. The green of the leaves, symbolising nature and heritage, coupled with petals of vintage pink is a palette worthy of any country home interior.

  • An unfussy rose of soft mid pink, the petals are pale on the reverse and fade at the edges creating a gentle quality. Held on red stems, the medium-sized cupped blooms have relaxed, almost ruffled petals which are set around an attractive button eye.
    silas marner®
  • Beautiful at all stages, bearing small clusters of mid-pink, medium-large, cupped rosettes. The arching branches are clothed in glossy, dark foliage.
    STRAWBERRY HILL®
Pink roses with acid yellow foliage

Why not team hot pink hues with acid yellow flowers or foliage. The combination is fresh, vibrant, and teaming with positivity.
