Floribunda Rose, Grandiflora Rose
HGTV.com Carefree Roses by Mary C. Weaver:
‘Queen Elizabeth’: This regal beauty was the first rose introduced in the grandiflora class in 1954. Its large and fragrant medium-pink blooms are cupped, double and loosely informal, and repeat bloom is reliable. ‘Queen Elizabeth’ is good for cutting, as the stems are long and the blooms fairly long-lasting. The plant is vigorous and upright, with dark-green, leathery, disease-resistant foliage.
