Carefree Beauty January 31, 2016

I planted Carefree Beauty this past fall, so she is not very big.  Dark pink, semi-double blooms, and from what I've read, this rose is a good bloomer. I purchased Carefree Beauty from the Rose Emporium who sold it under the name of Katy Road Pink for many years assuming it was a found rose.  They discovered years later that it was a Griffith Buck rose.  So, it has an interesting history.

I planted this rose many years ago when I first built the Rose Garden.  That first season I killed about 10 roses by over-fertilizing them, and Carefree Beauty was among them.
