Rose - Showpiece Lipstick

Common Name:
Rose ‘Showpiece Lipstick’

Description:
Showpiece Lipstick is a fragrant modern shrub rose blending vintage elegance with contemporary garden resilience. Each bloom opens as a deep rose‑pink or rich reddish‑pink with luxurious double petals, creating a classic old‑world appearance. The flowers are beautifully scented, offering an intense, refined fragrance that enriches both outdoor and indoor spaces. The plant produces glossy mid‑green foliage that provides excellent natural resistance to common rose diseases. Developed by renowned breeders Noack of Germany, this rose is designed for low maintenance: it thrives in well‑drained, organically enriched soil, tolerates drought once established, and withstands light frosts. From early spring through to late autumn (in Melbourne conditions), it blooms prolifically with continuous flushes of durable, eye‑catching flowers that are ideal for cutting.
