‘Minnie Watson’ Modern, large flowered hybrid tea. Light pink, repeat flowering. This variety, one of the best roses bred in Australia, was bred by an amateur and named after his mother. The large well-shaped buds open to well-formed flowers of bright salmon pink that are borne both singly and in small clusters. They are semi-double and retain their color well on the bush and there is some fragrance. The color is particularly luminous and the flowers look wonderful when arranged and used under artificial light. Flower production is amazing with rapid regrowth and very small gaps between flushes. The foliage is rich green and extremely glossy and profuse, and the plant has excellent disease resistance. This is a great rose for use as a standard as its flowers completely cover the bush. Zones 5-10. Watson, Australia 1965. ‘Dickson’s Flame’ x ‘Dickson’s Flame.
