Rosa x floribunda 'Rush' - Shrub Rose

The Rosebush 'Rush' is a modern rosebush with grouped flowers that will seduce botanical rose enthusiasts with its charming, exuberant and unpretentious appearance. It is so well composed that it is often chosen for landscaping green spaces. With its abundant, disease-free vegetation and its large bouquets of pink wild roses with white hearts, delicately dusted with pink at the end of flowering, this vigorous and stunning bush deserves a prime spot in the garden, superb and audacious when planted alone or integrated into a flowering hedge, even in hot climates.  

The Rosebush 'Rush' or 'lenmobri' is a beautiful Belgian creation by Lens, dating back to 1983, awarded a silver medal in Baden-Baden at the International Rose Competition. It belongs to the floribunda rose category, with flowers grouped in large clusters at the ends of young shoots. This fast-growing variety quickly forms a dense, upright bush with numerous particularly spiny stems that originate from the base and fan out. It will reach about 1.6m (5ft) in height and 1.4m (5ft) in width, with a cone-shaped silhouette that is unique to it. It is covered in glossy, medium green, disease-resistant foliage. It flowers abundantly from June to October-November, sometimes even in December in mild climates. Its corollas are wide, measuring 5 to 6 cm (2in), with single, 5-petaled flowers gathered in clusters of numerous flowers. Their colour is a fresh pink, more or less vibrant depending on the season and temperature, surrounding a white centre. The colour of the flowers evolves from very light pink to a more intense shade. They are fragrance-free. Note that 'Rush' performs very well in hot and dry climates, with a few generous and spaced-out waterings.

The Rosebush 'Rush' has some flaws, like its lack of fragrance and branches covered in thorns. However, these are minor compared to its remarkable characteristics. It's a beautiful and self-sufficient variety of roses that looks great when planted in groups of three arranged in a triangle. It can thrive on a large embankment or a sad lawn, holding its own against the surroundings. To complement it, you can plant other sturdy and floriferous roses like 'Rosy', 'La Sevillana', and 'Denise Grey', and use various ground covers from 'The Fairy' series. 'Rush' can also be integrated into a cosmopolitan flowerbed, composed of pink daylilies, 'Complicata' roses, small abelias, mock oranges, perovskias, and Miscanthus ... Floribunda roses allow for the creation of beautiful hedges, planted in a mix along a path, highlighting a small sunken path or even trailing down a stone wall.
