This is a solid showstopper when it first puts on blooms in spring and then it goes through multiple periods of 3-8 blooms at once. We bought it based upon the name and color because we have a special pet buried nearby who LOVED pink toys and whose favorite toy was a pink flamingo! I agree that it is thorny as all get out, but that is in keeping with the rose’s place as a connection to a pet that loved to “shake hands” with her teeth. Couldn’t get a more perfect representation that reminds me, makes me laugh, and smells mildly sweet. ♥️ It is in a whiskey barrel container and this is it’s 2nd year and it’s just gorgeous.

I have 2 of the Pink Flamingo roses that are about 6 years old now. They are truly some of the best, most reliable roses I have ever grown. They have beautiful dark green glossy foliage (which I love) and multiple continual blooms all summer. No fragrance at least to my nose. I disagree with HR plant description as mine are both in the ground and reliably get to 5 - 6 feet every year. I prune them back by half yearly. No disease EVER. Very thorny plant though. The color is a spectacular hot pink bordering on fuchsia pink. I didn't buy them from HR so I'm not sure if they are bare root. One more thing, they get morning sun and afternoon shade. I live in western WA zone 5.
