Just as another reviewer said--I've been looking for Carefree Beauty for years! This was a favorite rose from my childhood in my mother's garden. Hers is at least 40 years old now and was about 10 feet tall and at least 6 feet wide in it's prime. It has the most perfect buds and opens wide--I hold fond memories of cutting its blooms with Mom, and offering endless bouquets to friends and family every summer. It truly is a 'carefree' beauty! Now I found it too, and can carry on my mother's tradition. Thank you Heirloom Roses!
I planted about 16 of these over 20 years ago and some are still hanging in there. I haven’t been able to locate them for a long time until I came across this site when I decided to search to see if I could replace some. Beautiful and carefree. Eager to rebuild my rose garden with this variety that always did so well.
As another reviewer said, it lives up to the name. It's got pretty flowers, and it's a tough and low-maintenance plant. Thumbs up.
If I could have only one rose, this would be it. I have planted the Carefree Beauty in Kansas City and Des Moines, IA and it blooms beautifully in sun or shade, hot or cold. A no maintenance rose (and I have planted over 100 for myself and for our church).
