About Life’s Little Pleasures® Potted Rose Bush
Rosa ‘WEKswenchev’ Life’s Little Pleasures®
Delightful, dainty, and unexpectedly rich in color, Life’s Little Pleasures® is a true garden treasure in a compact form. Bred by Christian Bédard for Weeks Roses, this Miniature Rose is a standout for containers, small gardens, or as a cheerful accent among larger roses. It delivers clusters of saturated, violet-magenta blooms that glow against glossy green foliage.
Don’t let its size fool you — this petite powerhouse blooms continuously from spring through frost and features exceptional disease resistance. The cupped, old-fashioned bloom shape brings an antique charm, while its tidy habit and generous flowering habit make it a joy to grow and admire.
