Description: Rose 'Spring Picnic' is a charming shrub rose bred by Australian hybridizer Warren Millington in 2013 and introduced by Hannemann Nurseries in 2018. This variety features light pink, cupped blooms that age gracefully to a lilac hue, emitting a strong, citrusy, fruity fragrance. The medium-sized, fully double flowers, averaging 4.5 inches in diameter, are presented in small clusters, showcasing an old-fashioned bloom form. 'Spring Picnic' is a prolific bloomer, offering continuous flowering throughout the growing season. The plant exhibits a bushy habit with medium, matte, medium green foliage, reaching up to 100 cm in height. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it well-suited to Melbourne's climate. This rose is ideal for beds, borders, cut flowers, or as a standalone shrub. Regular deadheading will encourage repeat blooming, and light pruning in early spring will help maintain its shape and vigor.
