Queen of Sweden opens from dainty pointed buds into elegant half enclosed cups that gradually widen into shallow upward facing blooms. The colour begins as a soft apricot pink then shifts to a gentle clear pink as each flower matures. The fragrance has a pleasant myrrh note and carries well without being overpowering. The shrub has an upright yet bushy shape that stays neat and works well in borders, rose beds and low hedging. It also suits containers and partial shade. This rose was named to mark the anniversary of the Treaty of Friendship and Commerce between Sweden and Great Britain.
