Perfume Fashion® BOZperffas – pink dwarf miniature shrub rose
If You dream of a small rose that fits neatly into a front garden or patio pot yet behaves like a real garden classic, Perfume Fashion® BOZperffas is for You. Its compact, naturally rounded habit stays tidy in narrow beds and edging, while clusters of elegant, high‑centred blooms bring a romantic, pink focus close to the house. This variety is all about scent: the very strong, garden‑filling fragrance creates a perfumed corner You will notice every time You step outside, even on cooler Irish summer evenings. Dense, glossy dark foliage acts as a smart backdrop, helping the soft, mid‑pink flowers and pearl‑tinged edges really stand out beside paths, doorways and drives. The double flowers repeat, giving reliable colour over the season, and the own‑root 2‑litre plant settles steadily, offering long‑term life and the reassuring durability You want when dealing with our damp Atlantic air and frequent rain.
