Fantastically romantic and heavenly scented, Soft Whisper charms you with elegance rather than blowing you away with bold color.
This popular hybrid is an ideal cut flower. The lovely 4- to 5-inch coral-pink-edged cream colored blooms lighten up any room. The long, 14- to 18-inch stems look great in a tall vase. The blooms' enticing, sweet fragrance is so robust that one rose can fill a room with intoxicating, fruity aroma.
Soft Whisper grows to a versatile size of 4 feet high and wide, leaving an assortment of options for placement in your garden display. The compact shrub makes a nice, clean presentation with beautiful dark-green foliage.
Thriving in medium-moisture, slightly acidic, well-drained loam and full sun, Soft Whisper needs regular, hand watering, deep and preferably in the morning, and a spot with good air circulation. Summer mulch is recommended as an aid to retain moisture, cool roots and thwart the growth of weeds.
NOTE: Tree and patio roses are hardy to Zone 6 regardless of the rose variety grafted to their tops.
