I found it too!!

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!

Found it!

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.

well-named

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.

My Favorite Rose

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).
