Watercolors Home Run® Potted Rose Bush

Rosa ‘WEKsolcibarko’ PP 28,656 Watercolors Home Run™

Watercolors Home Run™ is a shrub rose bred by Tom Carruth and introduced in the U.S. by Spring Hill Nurseries in 2015. Its blooms shift in hue from yellow-gold with pink blush to deeper pink, offering a painterly effect in the garden. The single flowers form in clusters (~3″), appear in generous flushes from late spring through fall, and are backed by disease-resistant, glossy foliage. With a rounded, compact habit (around 24–36″ in height and spread), this rose is well suited for beds, borders, or mixed plantings.
